What is unexpected is that his compatriot Kishore Jena has missed out on a place in the final.

He managed a best throw of just 80.73m in Group 1.

American six-time men's freestyle world champion and London 2012 gold medallist Jordan Burroughs is among the many in the world of wrestling who has taken note of Vinesh is doing today. She is sending a few ripples to say the least. What a way to answer a whole lot of haters that she attracted at home in the last couple of years.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 11 Live Updates: The challenge is unsuccessful but Vinesh manages to throw Livach out of bounds! Her lead goes up to 7-4 now with just seconds left on the clock. Surely, surely, this is now her bout. A challenge comes from Livach's coach with 10 seconds on the clock. That is unsuccessful.

Livach then throws Vinesh out of bounds and reduces the gap to 7-5 with 3.5 seconds to go! The Indian then manages to defend though and THAT IS THAT! VINESH PHOGAT IS THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS!

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 11 Live Updates: Vinesh grabs a hold of Livach's feet and gets two more points early after the bout resumes. She tries to get a good hold of the Ukranian in order to effect an exposure but is unable to do so and the wrestlers are brought back up on their feet by the referee. More gritty wrestling, Livach desperately trying to go low on Vinesh but great defence from the Indian. But Livach does manage to momentarily effect a takedown on Vinesh and takes two points. Vinesh then gets out of that though and that gives her a point.

Vinesh then traps Livach in an arm bar but is unable to convert. Oksana pushes Vinesh out of bounds and gets a point for herself. It is 5-4 to Vinesh but wait a minute. The Indian urges her coach to challenge that decision and Woller Akos does it as well.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 11 Live Updates: A bit of a stalemate to begin with between the two before Vinesh manages to slam her opponent down on the mat and take two points. Livach gets a warning for passivity after that around the 3 mins 20 seconds mark. Livach gets a hold on Vinesh and starts pushing her out of bounds but the hooter goes off at exactly that point for the mid-bout interval. Vinesh has a two-point lead.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 11 Live Updates: Right, not too much time to celebrate wins, such is the way of Olympic wrestling. Vinesh is now set to face Ukranian Oksala Livach in the quarterfinal. Livach runs out to the mat, Vinesh took her time walking out and she does look a little winded. That first bout took a lot out of her. Vinesh is in the red singlet this time.

Paris Olympics 2024, Day 11 Live Updates: Well this should come as no surprise but even then, that was quite something from Neeraj Chopra. He throws a monster 89.34m in his first attempt and says that's it, I'm done for the day. He sails into the finals. A statement start to his gold medal defence.
