Antim Panghal doesn't give up easily. Recently, the 19-year-old raised her voice when Vinesh Phogat was directly given an Asian Games ticket by the ad hoc committee looking after the day-to-day affairs of Wrestling Federation of India. Antim and her family protested outside the office of the Indian Olympic Association and filed a petition in the Delhi High Court against Vinesh's direct entry.
She returned disappointed from the court, but luck favoured her as Vinesh withdrew from the Asiad due to injuries. Antim, being the reserve after having won the trials in the 53kg weight category, has been given the chance to represent the country.
