Vinesh Phogat becomes the first Indian woman wrestler to win an Asian Games gold as she beat Japan’s Yuki Irie 6-2 in the 50 kg women’s Freestyle final #AsianGames2018— Dinesh Bakshi (@Dinesh_Bakshi) August 20, 2018
#VineshPhogat When I saw her in Olympics 2016, I knew she was even better than her sisters but her injury prevented her from getting a medal. Today she has won Gold for the nation! Watch out for her in the next Olympics! (hoping she doesn’t let the coming popularity get to her)
