Though Vinesh now missed out on the silver medal as well, she still had a chance to win the gold.
In addition to being disqualified from 50 kg wrestling, 29-year-old Vinesh attempted weight loss as she grew older. It was supposed to be more because today, August 7, was the gold medal event.An Indian instructor stated, "In the morning, it was discovered that he weighed an extra 100 grams." He has been disqualified because that is against the rules.After being disqualified from the Olympics in Paris, Vinesh Phogat was informed that her weight did not meet 50 kg. The same was validated by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).
The news of Vinesh Phogat's disqualification from the women's 50kg wrestling event is shared by the Indian team with grief. Even though the team worked really hard all night, he weighed a few grams over fifty kilograms this morning. The team will not be providing any additional comments at this time. Please respect Vinesh's privacy, as requested by the Indian team.
The match was scheduled to include an American wrestler:
It was expected that India's top wrestler, Vinesh Phogat, would take home the gold medal after she advanced to the final. The women's 50kg freestyle competition saw Vinesh Phogat defeat Eusanielis Guzman of Cuba 5-0 in the semifinals. On Wednesday, August 7, Vinesh was supposed to play USA's Ann Sara Hildebrandt in the championship match. She had already upset Olympic and four-time world champion Yui Susaki in the 50kg division during the pre-quarterfinals.
At the Olympics in Rio, Vinesh made her debut:
Vinesh is among the most successful Indian wrestlers in history, having won gold at the Asian Championship, bronze at the World Championships, and bronze at the Commonwealth Games, Asian Championship, and Asian Championship. However, her goal was dashed when she was disqualified at the games. A severe knee injury forced Vinesh, one of the well-known Phogat sisters, to withdraw from her Olympic debut in the women's 48 kg freestyle division at Rio 2016. Once again, Vinesh lost in the quarterfinals of the women's 53kg competition in Tokyo 2020, despite being a strong favorite to win. She was disqualified from the Paris Olympics because she was overweight as well.
PM Modi remarked, "You are the pride of India:
Vinesh is India's pride, according to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and she must return stronger.
"Vinesh, you are a champion among champions," he wrote on X. You inspire all Indians and are a source of pride for the country."The shock of today hurts," he continued. I wish I could express how depressed I am at the moment. However, I'm sure you'll return. You're a naturally challenged person. Return with vigor. We're all on your side.
It's innate in you. Return with vigor. We're all on your side.He will have to leave the Games empty-handed because of the disqualification because, in accordance with international regulations, a wrestler who is determined to be overweight is placed last in the final table.
