Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik win fifth and sixth Olympic quota places in Women's 48kg freestyle and Women's 58kg freestyle for India after winning Gold and Silver medals respectively ... So they r joined Yogeshwar Dutt, Narsingh Yadav, Sandeep Tomar from Men's freestyle and Hardeep Singh from Men's Greco-Roman.
In this last Olympic qualification tournament only top 2 wresters are qualifying ... So stakes were high for our women wrestlers ... In 48kg Vinesh is talented and everyone were expecting she should have qualified before ... And here Vinesh dominated her weight category from her first match ... She dominated and won in convincing fashion all four bouts against Ukrainian, German, Korean and Turkish wrestlers before qualifying for the final ... In the final her Polish opponent Iwona Matkowska gave her fight but Vinesh won this bout also convincingly.
Sakshi Malik's inclusion in the team was at last moment after Wrestling Federation took action on Geeta Phogat ... But Sakshi take full advantage of it and qualifying for Olympics ... Sakshi won her first 2 bouts against Spanish and Romanian wrestlers convincingly ... In the big Olympic qualifying match she faced strong Chinese wrestler ... Both wrestlers played attacking wrestling and match ended on 10-all ... Sakshi was declared winner as she won more continuous points than her Chinese opponent ... In the final Sakshi tried hard but her Russian opponent proved better technical wrestler ... Still creditable performance by Sakshi for winning the quota place for India.
