In a stunning performance at the Asian Olympic Wrestling Qualifiers in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, Vinesh Phogat has secured a coveted quota spot for India in the upcoming Paris Olympics. Her remarkable feat comes amidst a slew of outstanding displays by Indian wrestlers, reaffirming the nation’s prowess on the global stage.
