Vinesh Phogat assured of historic wrestling medal, to fight for gold as India end four-day lull at Paris Olympics.

Wrestling her third match of the day, the 29-year-old wrestler assured India its fourth medal of the Paris Olympics 2024 – and the best of the Games so far, getting assured of a historic silver medal at least by beating Yusneylis Guzman Lopez of Cuba 5-0 in the women's 50 kg freestyle wrestling semifinal. Historic, because no other Indian female wrestler in the past has won anything other than a bronze – the last being Sakshi Malik at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Phogat however is not done. She has the opportunity to now gun for the top prize, which if achieved, will make her the first ever Indian wrestler to win a gold at the Olympics.
