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.

In wrestling, if an opponent who defeated you in the qualification rounds goes through to the final, you become active again for repechage rounds in quest for a bronze medal. Vinesh had similar hopes. Batkhuyag was wrestling well and reached the final. Vinesh was alive again.
