Wrestler Vinesh Phogat won gold at the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid on Sunday, conceding just one point in five bouts en route to the title victory in the women's 50kg freestyle category. The 23-year-old outclassed Canada's Natasha Fox 10-0 in the final.
Vinesh began her campaign in a dominating fashion by beating Mariana Diaz on technical superiority and then thumped Erin Golston 12-1 and Valeria Chepsarakova 5-0.
She won her semi-final against Jessi Macdonald 10-0 on technical superiority.
"My confidence got a boost after winning gold at the Commonwealth Games," Vinesh told PTI from Madrid. "In this competition, I wanted to see where I lack, heading into the Asian Games [in August]. It was a big competition, it was world class. The target was to play and do well here before the Asian Games. It was a good field with top wrestlers from Russia, the USA and Canada in my category."
