I'm cheering for Indian women wrestlers since I watched Dangal

 Vinesh makes the final, which means everyone else loses a Bronze medal 

[Roamingrover86 862]

Vinesh Phogat  wins her SF aganist Guzman  5-0 

She becomes first Indian women wrestler to qualify for an Olympic final 

After what she has been through this feels like a fairy tale 

 

She deserves it, now for the Final tomorrow

Good Games for India.

Great bout of Vinesh, well deserved win. Cuban didnt stand a chance.

Fun fact. Dangal is based on Vinesh’s uncle and cousins.

well. it's really sad to read something like that near the end of the games.

As someone who knows almost nothing about wrestling and only exposed to it during the Olympics, that was impressive by the Indian woman. Hope Vinesh can go for gold now

Thats 2 times in 3 Olympics that an Indian female wrestler lost due to injury in QF. 

And Vinesh has redemption. She had to withdraw from Rio QF due to knee injury. Today, she has qualified for final.
