Wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who reached the quarter-finals after winning the first match at the Tokyo Olympics 2020, had to face defeat at the hands of Belarus's Vanesa Kaladzinskaya in the second match. Vinesh's family is deeply saddened by the defeat as her dream of winning a gold medal for India in the Olympics was shattered. In an exclusive interaction with ETV Bharat, Vinesh's family said now even if she wins bronze, it will not matter much as they expected a gold medal from her. Vinesh's uncle Dronacharya awardee Mahavir Singh Phogat said that he no longer has faith in the training of foreign coaches. He said that he will personally train Vinesh to win a gold medal in the upcoming Olympics.
