Renowned Indian wrestler Bajrang Punia has lauded Vinesh Phogat's impressive performance at the Paris Olympics, calling her the "lioness of India." At 29, Phogat has made history by reaching her first Olympic semifinals, defeating reigning champion Yui Susaki and former European champion Oksana Livach. Punia highlighted Phogat’s struggles and resilience, noting her past protests against the Wrestling Federation of India. As Phogat prepares for her semifinal against Cuba's Yusneylis Guzman Lopez, a win would guarantee at least a silver medal.
