Firstpost  

Vinesh Phogat became the first Indian wrestler to secure a quota place for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday, after she won bronze medal at the Nur-Sultan World Wrestling Championships on Wednesday. Vinesh, who recently shifted to the 53kg weight class, was beaten by Japan’s Mayu Mukaida in her second round, but made it to the repechage round after the Japanese wrestler made it to the finals. Here’s a round-by-round breakdown of how Vinesh ensured a quota for India at next year’s Olympics and won bronze: Round 1 against Sweden’s Sofia Mattsson The stadium announcer was not even done announcing her name by the time Vinesh had Sweden’s Sofia Mattsson flat on her belly, one arm throttling the Swede’s neck, the other twisting her left leg in an ankle lock — a move that helped Vinesh put two points on the board with just 20 seconds gone. Repechage Round 1 against Ukraine’s Yuliia Khavaldzhy Blahinya After a testy start to the contest, Vinesh made her move in the second minute, grabbing Blahinya’s legs and scoring a takedown.
