“Kicked, Crushed In Her Own Country”: Bajrang Punia’s Reminder On Vinesh Phogat After Olympics 2024 Heroics
With two stunning victories at the Paris Olympics 2024, champion wrestler Vinesh Phogat grabbed headlines on Tuesday and nearly brought home his first medal from the competition. For Vinesh Phogat, who spearheaded the demonstrations against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh last year, it was akin to coming full circle. Vinesh Phogat made history in her opening round at the Paris Games on Tuesday when she defeated Japan’s top-seeded and Tokyo 2020 winner Yui Susaki in the women’s 50kg freestyle round of 16.

The four-time world champion and gold medallist Susaki had never lost in her 82 international fights, but the top-seeded Japanese fighter had no idea what was coming in the opening round, which she lost 2-3. Later, in the quarterfinal, Vinesh defeated Livach, the bronze medallist from the 2018 global tournament and a past European champion, 7–5. Tuesday is when Vinesh’s semi-final takes place. The fierce 29-year-old, who has seen two heartbreaking Olympic experiences, is now just one victory away from winning her first Olympic medal.
The Indian lioness Vinesh Phogat won two matches in a row today. Olympic champion in contention and four-time world champion defeated. He then emerged victorious in the quarterfinals against the previous World Champion. The girl was trampled and beaten within her own nation. In her own nation, this girl was dragged through the streets. This girl lost to this country’s system, but she is going to rule the globe.” Punia Bajrang wrote on X.
Along with Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia, Phogat was one of the three best wrestlers in the nation who spearheaded a demonstration against former WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on the grounds that he had harassed women wrestlers sexually. A number of wrestlers were arrested in May while they were advancing on the Parliament. After Vinesh’s most recent feats, Bajrang—an Olympic medallist himself—posted a forceful comment on X. He brought up the suffering that Vinesh endured throughout the demonstrations.
