In a surprising turn of events at the Tokyo Olympics, the women's freestyle 50kg wrestling event witnessed a major upset as the reigning Olympic champion, Yui Susaki, was defeated in the first round by Vinesh Phogat of India. Susaki, who was the top seed and had never lost an international bout at the senior level, was stunned by Phogat in a closely contested match.
The match saw Susaki taking an early lead with one technical point in the first period, while Phogat failed to score. However, Phogat made a remarkable comeback in the second period, securing three points compared to Susaki's one, ultimately clinching the victory with a score of 3-2.
