The Indian athletes ended the day on a great high after wrestler Vinesh Phogat won the first ever medal for India in a women's wrestling event.

Phogat won this historic medal in women's 50kg freestyle event after defeating Japan's Yukie Irie 6-2 in the final match.

Vinesh will be turning 24 this Saturday and this medal is not a present for herself but for the entire nation. The value of the medal simply doubled as it is the first ever medal won by an Indian woman in wrestling since it was introduced in 2002.
