Vinesh Phogat is keeping India's gold medal hopes at the Paris Olympics alive with her terrific performance in the women's 50kg freestyle wrestling event.

In the Round of 16 at the Paris Olympics 2024, Vinesh Phogat delivered an impressive performance to advance to the quarter-finals in the women’s freestyle 50kg category. Her opponent was Yui Susaki of Japan, the number one seed and reigning Olympic champion.

The match concluded dramatically, with Phogat securing the victory with just 20 seconds remaining. This last-minute takedown not only earned her the win but also meant it was the first time Susaki lost in an international meet.

Then she took down Ukraine's Oksana Livach in the quarterfinal to book a spot in the semifinals of the Women's 50kg wrestling event at the Paris Olympics 2024.
