Indian wrestler Antim Panghal played her first match in the Paris Olympics 2024 in the women's 53kg category at the Champ-de-Mars Arena. Two-time junior world champion and world medalist Panghal is the youngest Indian wrestler in this Olympic edition. But she has been eliminated from the Olympics after losing in her very first match. Antim Panghal secured the Paris 2024 Olympic quota for India in women's 53kg with a bronze medal at the World Championships last year.

The crushing defeat of the last pangal

For Anant Panghal, her first Olympics has been nothing less than a nightmare.

She had to face a 0-10 defeat against a Turkish wrestler. After wrestler Vinesh Phogat was eliminated, Indian fans had high expectations from Anant Panghal. Her recent performance was also very good, but she could not repeat her game in the Olympics.

Bad day for India in wrestling

Today has been a very bad day for India in wrestling. Wrestler Vinesh Phogat was going to play her final match today. But before the final of the 50 kg category of wrestling, her weight was found to be 100 grams more, due to which Vinesh Phogat was disqualified. Now one of the big contenders for the medal, Anant Panghal, is also out, which is two big shocks one after the other for Indian fans.
