Vinesh Phogat has become the first Indian woman to reach the wrestling final in the Olympics. In her semi-final match, Vinesh has confirmed her medal in Paris by defeating Cuba’s Lopez Guzman. Like her match against the Japanese player, Vinesh was alert from the beginning against her Cuban opponent, she caught hold of Guzman’s leg early in the match, putting the Cuban opponent under pressure in the initial minutes. Despite applying pressure, Vinesh was not able to win any points in the first 2 minutes of the match, after this Vinesh started applying pressure and overpowered Guzman.
Vinesh Phogat’s uncle and guru Mahavir Phogat said that daughter Vinesh has slapped Brij Bhushan. He said that what our daughter has done, Brij Bhushan Singh can never do it. He has caused a lot of harm to Vinesh. But the public is with Vinesh. He said that his daughter fulfilled his dreams. My blessings are that God may take Vinesh further.

‘Vinesh will bring gold this time’
Before the semi-final match, Mahavir Phogat had said that I am hopeful that she will bring gold. He said that the Japanese player whom Vinesh had defeated before the quarter-final match had not lost in any match till now. Mahavir Phogat said that Vinesh performed the way I told her.
‘Given tips to Vinesh regarding Japanese player’
Mahavir Phogat said that before the semi-finals, my focus was on Vinesh’s match with the Japanese player since morning. I had conveyed the message to Vinesh that the Japanese player attacks on the lag, hence in the first round you have to play only defense and in the second round you have to play attacking, Vinesh played the same way and defeated the Japanese player.
Bajrang Punia also targeted the government
At the same time, Bajrang Punia said that we were already confident that she would bring gold. He said that when we were protesting at Jantar Mantar, a lot was said about us, where are those people now? Bajrang asked whether she will now be called the country’s daughter or not, whether she will be called the daughter of the country or not? Bajrang said that during our protest at Jantar Mantar, the government’s IT cell and Braj Bhushan Singh had said a lot. He said that Vinesh Phogat will also win the final.
