I needed to get away from the mat, from the pressure, from expectations, even from my dreams. For the first time in years I breathed a sigh of relief. I took some time to understand my workload. The ups and downs of life, the sacrifices, those versions of me that the world has never seen. I still like sports. I still want to compete.Vinesh Phogat further wrote, 'In the silence I found something which I had forgotten 'fire never extinguishes'.
It was simply buried under the tiredness and noise. Discipline, routine, fight… it's in my system. No matter how far I go, a part of me remains on the mat. So here I am, stepping back into LA28 with a heart that is fearless and a spirit that refuses to bow down. And this time, I am not walking alone, my son is joining my team, my biggest inspiration, my little cheerleader on this road to the 2028 Olympics.Search for first Olympic medal
