Vinesh Phogat
Indian Wrestler
Who am I
Vinesh Phogat is an Indian
wrestler who comes from a successful family of wrestlers, with her cousins
Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari being international wrestlers and Commonwealth
Games medalists as well. She became the first Indian woman wrestler to win Gold
in both Commonwealth and Asian games.
In allowing her cousins and
herself to pursue competitive wrestling, her father and uncle had to deal with
immense pressure and opposition from the community in their village in Haryana.
They were adjudged as going against the morals and values of their community.

defeating Ekaterina Poleshchuk of Russia. Vinesh Phogat bagged her third
consecutive gold in women's 53kg category after winning the Poland Open
