Wrestler Vinesh Phogat undergoes elbow surgery, says she will rise no matter how many times she falls

Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat underwent a surgery on her right elbow on Wednesday.

Last month on August 31, the sports star has pulled out of the World Championship trials in New Delhi after competing in her opening bout.

The 27-year-old had confirmed that she didn't pull-out because of her injury as it left her feeling only 'dizzy'.


The reigning Asian champion took to social media to share her heath update.

"No matter how many times I fall, I will still rise," she wrote, alongside her picture on a hospital bed.


Vinesh, who had made a shock quarterfinal exit in the Tokyo Olympics, was suspended by the Wrestling Federation of India last month for indiscipline before being let off with a warning.
