Vinesh Phogat, a three-time Olympian and member of the famous Phogat sisters, is set to compete in the 57kg weight class at the National Open Ranking Tournament in Gonda, Uttar Pradesh, India, from May 10 to 12, 2026. This event will be her first competitive outing since the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she reached the final of the women's 50kg event. Phogat's return is crucial as she prepares for the Asian Games in Japan later this year, scheduled from September 19 to October 4. After briefly retiring following her weight issues at the Olympics, she is now focused on qualifying for the LA 2028 Olympics. Throughout her career, Vinesh has frequently changed weight categories, starting in the 48kg division, where she won an Asian Games bronze in 2014 and a silver at the Asian Championships in 2015. Her notable achievements include gold medals at the 2018 Asian Games and Commonwealth Games in the 53kg category, where she also earned two World Championship medals.
