Vinesh Phogat's Journey at the Paris 2024 Olympics

Vinesh Phogat, one of India's most celebrated wrestlers, has been making headlines at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Competing in her third consecutive Olympics, Vinesh has shown remarkable resilience and skill, particularly in the women’s 50kg freestyle wrestling category.

Early Challenges and a Sensational Comeback

Vinesh's journey to the Paris Olympics was far from smooth. In 2023, she was a central figure in the protests against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) President Brij Bhushan Singh, which brought significant attention to issues within the sport. This tumultuous period also included a series of injuries and weight management challenges, forcing her to compete in the 50kg category instead of her preferred 53kg class.

Paris 2024 Performance

Despite these setbacks, Vinesh's performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics has been nothing short of extraordinary. She started her campaign with a stunning victory over the reigning Olympic champion and four-time world champion Yui Susaki of Japan, in the Round of 16. This victory was particularly significant as Susaki had been undefeated in international competitions leading up to this bout.

Following this, Vinesh continued her winning streak by defeating Ukraine's Oksana Livach in the quarterfinals. This victory secured her a spot in the semifinals, marking a historic moment as she became the first Indian woman wrestler to reach an Olympic semifinal​ (Paris 2024 Olympics)​​ (India Today)​​ (Republic World)​.

Historic Achievements

Vinesh is now on the cusp of creating two unique records for India at the Olympics. Should she win her semifinal match, she will be guaranteed at least a silver medal, adding to India's medal tally and possibly making her the first Indian female wrestler to win an Olympic silver or gold​ (Republic World)​.

Looking Ahead

Vinesh's next match is highly anticipated as it will determine whether she can secure a place in the final and potentially win a gold medal for India. Regardless of the outcome, her journey at the Paris 2024 Olympics is already a testament to her perseverance, skill, and indomitable spirit.

For those interested in following her matches, live streaming is available on Jio Cinema, and live telecasts can be watched on the Sports 18 Network in India​ (Paris 2024 Olympics)​.
