She was pitted against Japanese grappler <!-- -->Yui Susaki<!-- --> in the Round of 16 who never tasted a defeat at the international level.<\/p>\n<p>Vinesh, however, had a different plan as she caused the most stunning upset of the Olympic Games by bringing an end to the undefeated streak of Sasaki, the world&#8217;s top-ranked wrestler and the defending Olympic gold medalist, which had spanned an impressive 82 matches.<br \/>In the first six minutes, the wrestling community was left stunned by her performance. However, in the following six minutes, she faced off against <!-- -->Oksana Livach<!-- --> of Ukraine, the 2018 European champion. It was during this crucial period that she truly showcased her exceptional skills and left no doubt about her superiority.<\/p>\n<p>In the final six minutes of the day against Cuba&#8217;s <!-- -->Yusneylis Guzman Lopez<!-- -->, she demonstrated her exceptional tactical prowess once again. Like a skilled predator, she patiently waited for her opponent to make a single error that would allow her to secure a single-leg hold.<br \/>Her strategic approach and ability to capitalize on her opponent&#8217;s mistakes were on full display during those crucial moments. The match served as another testament to her unparalleled expertise in the sport.<br \/>The 29-year-old from Haryana recorded 5-0 over Guzman Lopez in the semifinals to be assured of at least a silver in her third Olympic outing.<\/p>\n<p>After her victory against Susaki, she let out a cry of relief, laying flat on her back. However, the most poignant moment came when she reached the final, with her teary-eyed Belgian coach, Woller Akos &#8211; who has been her confidant throughout this journey &#8211; by her side.<br \/>Phogat will wrestle against American Sarah Hildebrandt for the gold medal on Wednesday. Hildebrandt defeated Mongolia&#8217;s Otgonjargal Dolgorjav 5-0 in the other semifinal.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
