India's daughter has created history in the Paris Olympics. We are talking about female wrestler Vinesh Phogat who booked a ticket to the finals by performing brilliantly in the 50 kg category on Tuesday. Vinesh defeated Cuban wrestler Yusnelis Guzman 5-0 in a one-sided manner in the semi-finals. With this victory, Vinesh has not only confirmed her medal in the Paris Olympics but now she is just one step away from winning the gold. Let us tell you why this victory of Vinesh Phogat is like a revolution in women's wrestling.

Vinesh Phogat's victory is historic

Vinesh Phogat's victory in Paris is historic because she is the first Indian female wrestler to make it to the finals of the Olympics. Before Vinesh Phogat, only one female wrestler, Sakshi Malik, has won a medal in the Olympics.

Vinesh overtook Sakshi

Sakshi Malik had won the bronze medal in the Rio Olympics in 2016 but now Vinesh has overtaken her. Vinesh Phogat has now confirmed her silver medal by making it to the finals.

Golden opportunity to win gold

Vinesh Phogat also has a golden opportunity to win gold. So far only two Indian players have achieved the feat of winning individual gold in the Olympics. If Vinesh wins the gold medal, she will be the first female player and first wrestler of the country to do this.

Glory is for those who endear and dare!

Vinesh Phogat reduced her weight

It is also amazing for Vinesh Phogat to reach the final of the Olympics because she had left her weight category for this competition. Vinesh has always played in the 53 kg category but for the first time she lost 3 kg weight and played in the 50 kg category and see how this daughter of India created history.

Record of Vinesh Phogat

Vinesh Phogat started the Paris Olympics by shaking the world. Vinesh defeated the world's number 1 wrestler Yui Susaki. Before the bout with Vinesh, this Japanese wrestler had never lost a fight. She had a record of 82-0 but Vinesh defeated her in her very first match. This is the reason why her sister Geeta Phogat wrote about her sister's victory - The world bends, you just need to have the passion to make it bend.
