Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has made history by reaching the semifinals of the women’s 50kg freestyle wrestling at the Tokyo Olympics, marking her first Olympic semifinal appearance. She secured this spot with two impressive victories: a dramatic 3-2 win over reigning champion Yui Susaki and a 7-5 victory against former European champion Oksana Livach. Phogat’s resilience and tactical skill have drawn global attention, and with the next match against Cuba’s Yusneylis Guzman Lopez, she aims to win India’s first wrestling medal in Paris.
