"Gold Laana Hai": Vinesh Phogat Tells Teary-Eyed Mother After Reaching Olympics Final. Watch
She grappled on the streets with an "unjust system" without a care in the world and on Tuesday Vinesh Phogat brought a lot of that panache to the mat as well, taking down one big name after another to become India's first woman wrestler to enter the finals of the Olympic Games. The 29-year-old from Haryana defeated Yusneylis Guzman Lopez of Cuba 5-0 in the semifinals where she used brain and brawn in equal measure to be assured of at least a silver in her third Olympic outing.
