Sitting here in my room thinking how I get to live this life while somebody else is fighting for my safety.
Praying for soldiers and everyone across India 🙏

A year of protest against the federation chief.
Slept on pavements for 40 days.
Was beaten, dragged by the police.
Nearly immersed all her medals in the Ganga.
Underwent knee surgery.
Sealed her Olympic spot after an unforgiving qualification process.
Became the 1st Indian woman wrestler to qualify for three successive Olympics.
And now, she's beaten the unbeatable defending champ, won two more bouts to become the first Indian woman to reach a wrestling Olympic final.
Words fail to appreciate what Vinesh Phogat has just done.

it’s appalling that people view vinesh phogat's victory as a national triumph when the nation did nothing but shield her abuser who was protected by those at the highest levels of power. if anything, the nation only failed her.
this achievement is entirely her own.
vinesh phogat is an olympic medallist 'despite' everything and not 'because' of anything, i hope we keep that in mind. i want everyone to keep that in mind
