    Paris Olympics: Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat advanced to the quarterfinal of the women's freestyle 50kg after registering a 3-2 upset win over four-time world champion Japan's Yui Susaki in the pre-quarterfinals at the Paris Olympics, here on Tuesday.

    Phogat was trailing 0-1 after the first period but turned the tide in her favour in the final 30 seconds with a 2 pointer. The Indian was defensive in most of the match but she applied herself fully in the latter stage to clinch a victory at the Champ-de-Mars Arena.

    Vinesh will now play in the quarterfinal against Ukaraine's Oksana Livach later in the day.
