My fight is not over yet, fumes Antim after winning the trials

Around the time Antim Panghal was preparing for her final bout in 53kg in the Asian Games trials Saturday came the news that the Delhi high court had dismissed her petition challenging the exemption given to Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia. It meant that Antim will be considered only as a standby to Vinesh.

Antim cruised through bouts in the morning before pinning Manju inside two minutes in the final at the IG Stadium here. Last year, she became India's first junior (U-20) world champion among women and has made an impressive transition to the senior international circuit, winning silver at the Asian Championships this year. Last year, she also ran two-time world medallist Vinesh close while losing in the trials for Commonwealth Games.
