She grappled on the streets with an “unjust system” without a care in the world and in Paris Olympics 2024 Vinesh Phogat brought a lot of that panache to the mat as well, taking down one big name after another to become India’s first Woman Wrestler to enter the finals of Olympic Games.
The 29-year-old from Haryana defeated Yusneylis Guzman Lopez of Cuba 5-0 in the semifinals where she used brain and brawn in equal measure to be assured of at least a Silver in her third Olympic outing.
This was after she was stretchered off on her debut in Rio 2016 and had a forgettable outing in Tokyo four years later.
