Hats off is true

 

'Paralysis and death' , it's a bit exaggerated isn't it ? I agree that Produnova vault is extremely difficult to perform but if a mistake can cause something as serious as mentioned, then it's a failure on behalf of the sporting organizations who could not provide facilities for athlete safety.

 

Here is the video, some attempted Produnova vault, but no such serious injuries.

If you do it wrong and land on your neck, it could most certainly lead to paralysis. Unless you're playing on a thick bed of feathers, you just cannot avoid it, so you can't blame any sporting organization.

Looks like all rounds are going to happen today.....Sakshi's round is in the next 1 hour I think

A couple of interesting bits of information about Sakshi, she initially had to train with young boys because girls who wrestled were frowned upon in her village!

We are minutes away to Sakshi's match now. And Vinesh's quarter finals is close to follow.

 

Vinesh's opponent is a world champion and world No.2
