Belgrade airport to catch her flight back home. "Woh shopping karne gayi hai (she has gone shopping)," said coach Jitender Yadav. The phone didn't connect an hour later, Whatsapp messages showed just a single tick. The coach had boarded the flight, so had the women's wrestling team, including Vinesh, wearing her second World Championships medal -- the only female wrestler from India to do that.
