Paris Olympics: After Historic Win, Wrestler Vinesh 100% Focused On ‘important Day’
Oksana Vasylivna Livach: Vinesh Phogat made history on Tuesday by becoming the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the final at the Olympic Games by defeating Cuba's Yusneylys Guzman 5-0 in the semifinals of women's 50 kg freestyle event. Following the victory, which assured India their fourth medal at the Paris Olympics, after her incredible battle, Phogat seemed to be fully focused on the final against USA’s Sarah Hildebrandt in the final.
"Tomorrow is an important day, will talk then," said Vinesh Phogat to reporters following her encounter showcasing her determination and aim to win India its first-ever gold medal in wrestling.
Her emphatic victory over the Cuban can only be described as a hard-fought encounter with none of the grapplers wanting to give away unnecessary points. Vinesh held off Guzman’s attacks and waited for the perfect opportunity to pounce. One point in the first round and four in the second saw her seal the comfortable victory.
