Star wrestler Vinesh Phogat clinches gold at Poland Open

It is third title of the season for Vinesh, 26, who claimed gold medals at the Matteo Pellicone event (March) and Asian Championship (April) earlier.

Star Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat proved that her preparations for the Tokyo Games were on track by winning the 53kg gold at the Poland Open here on Friday, giving herself some crucial mat-time ahead of the Olympics.

It is third title of the season for Vinesh, 26, who claimed gold medals at the Matteo Pellicone event (March) and Asian Championship (April) earlier.

The win would potentially make Vinesh the top seed at the Tokyo Olympics. Except for her opening bout against 2019 World bronze (50kg) winner Ekaterina Poleshchuk, Vinesh wasn’t troubled by any of her other rivals as she conceded only two points en route the top place on the podium.
