NEW DELHI : India's Vinesh Phogat is not sure when, if at all, she would return to the wrestling mat as she struggles to cope with the disappointment of her Tokyo Olympics campaign.

Belarusian Vanesa Kaladzinskaya shocked her in the quarter-finals and Phogat was accused of"indiscipline" by the Wrestling Federation of India on her return from Japan. "I knew that in India, you fall as fast as you rise. One medal and everything is finished," she wrote in Friday's Indian Express newspaper.

Phogat said she continued to feel the after-effects of a concussion she had suffered in 2017 and twice contracted COVID-19 in her build-up to Tokyo.
