@Phogat_Vinesh you have been impressive .. one lose doesnt make decison on wrestler. correct your mistakes and come back stronger #mychamp

Extremely surprised with Vinesh Phogat's defeat. Not so much with Sakshi though

RE Sakhi loss: All her wrestling has been based on leg attacks. Read any article or see videos of Rio. Today she did ZERO leg attacks.
