Vinesh Phogat, the Indian wrestling sensation, has taken the Paris Olympics by storm, reaching the semifinals in the women’s 50kg wrestling event. In an electrifying opening round, Phogat upset the five-time World and Olympic champion Yui Susaki from Japan, showcasing her unparalleled skill and determination. This victory was not just any win; it was a moment of pure emotion for Phogat, as she began her Olympic journey by overcoming the reigning champion with a nail-biting 3-2 decision, thanks to a late takedown that had fans on the edge of their seats.
Following her initial triumph, Vinesh faced Oksana Livach from Ukraine in the quarters, where she continued her impressive form. With a swift 7-5 victory, Phogat cemented her place in the semifinals, proving to the world that she is a force to be reckoned with in the wrestling arena.
