Vinesh, who is married to wrestler Somvir Rathee, gave birth to a baby boy in July 2025.
Wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who was away from wrestling after the Paris Olympics is stepping back for the 2028 LA Olympics with a “heart that’s unafraid and a spirit that refuses to bow.”
The wrestler, who is also a mother now, said, "People kept asking if Paris was the end. For a long time, I didn't have the answer. I needed to step away from the mat, from the pressure, from the expectations, even from my own ambitions. For the first time in years, I allowed myself to breathe.”
"I took time to understand the weight of my journey the highs, the heartbreaks, the sacrifices, the versions of me the world never saw. And somewhere in that reflection, I found the truth, I still love this sport. I still want to compete.”
"In that silence, I found something I'd forgotten 'the fire never left'. It was only buried under exhaustion and noise. The discipline, the routine, the fight... it's in my system. No matter how far I walked away, a part of me stayed on the mat.
"So here I am, stepping back toward LA28 with a heart that's unafraid and a spirit that refuses to bow."
"And this time, I'm not walking alone. My son is joining my team, my biggest motivation, my little cheerleader on this road to the LA Olympics."
