Paris Olympics: India’s Antim Panghal loses to Turkiye’s Zeynep Yetgil; Vinesh Phogat disqualified
India’s Antim Panghal was defeated 10-0 by Turkiye’s Zeynep Yetgil in the Round of 16 for the women’s 53kg freestyle wrestling at the Paris Olympics 2024 on Wednesday.
Panghal, who previously won a bronze medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games, now hopes Yetgil reaches the final, which would allow her to compete for a bronze medal through the repechage round.
Meanwhile, India’s Vinesh Phogat had reached the final in the women’s 50kg freestyle category but was disqualified for missing the weight cut by just over 100 grams before the gold medal match.
