Nisha Dahiya Injury: Nisha Dahiya, a big contender to win a medal for India in the Paris Olympics, lost the quarterfinal match due to injury. However, she still has a chance to win a bronze medal through repechage. In the quarterfinals, Nisha was leading 8-2 against North Korea's Sol Gum Pak. During this, she was constantly struggling with pain after getting injured. Even after medical help, she did not get relief, as a result, she lost the match in the last second. The Indian coach has made a big allegation on Nisha's injury.
India's national coach Virender Dahiya said, 'It was 100 percent deliberate, they deliberately hurt the target. As we saw, an order came from the Korean corner after which they attacked near the wrist joint. They snatched the medal from Nisha.' The coach said, 'The way Nisha started, the medal was around her neck and was snatched. Nisha defeated that leader in the Asian qualifiers by performing brilliantly in both defense and counter attack.'
Nisha Dahiya was ahead of North Korea's Sol Gum in the first round itself. When she entered the second round, she took one point and increased her lead even more. During this time, she got injured and started writhing in pain holding her hand. When she got injured, she was leading 8-2. During the injury, she repeatedly received medical help and then she returned to the match. Even after suffering life-threatening pain, she did not leave the field.
Nisha can return to medal contention if the Korean reaches the final but even if she gets the repechage, the extent of the injury will determine whether she can take the mat.
