Paris Olympics: Vinesh Phogat Makes History, Storms Into Final With Emphatic Win Over Cuban
Paris Olympic Games: Vinesh Phogat reached where no Indian woman wrestler has ever done, storming into the final of the 50 kg freestyle event at the Paris Olympics with a resounding 5-0 win by points over Cuba's Yusneylys Guzman in the semifinal here on Tuesday.
Vinesh thus assured India's fourth medal in the Paris Olympics when she will fight for the gold and will fight for gold against USA's Sarah Hildebrandt in the final at the Champ-de-Mars Arena Mat B on Wednesday.
Having caused the biggest sensation in the Olympic wrestling competition earlier in the afternoon by stunning Japan's hitherto undefeated Yui Susaki in her first bout, Vinesh spent the opening minutes of the semifinal on the defensive. She thwarted the Cuban’s constant attempts to attack the Indians. Vinesh opened the account with one technical point to take the early lead at the end of Round 1.
