Vinesh Phogat Disqualified from Olympics
Paris: In a shocking turn of events, Indian wrestling sensation Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the Paris Olympics, just hours before her gold medal match. The Olympic hopeful, who had made history by becoming the first Indian woman to reach the wrestling final, was found to be overweight by a mere 100 grams during the weigh-in.
Despite frantic efforts by the Indian team to appeal the decision, the strict weight regulations left no room for exceptions. The disqualification means India will miss out on a potential gold medal, with Phogat’s opponent set to be awarded the top prize.
The news has sent shockwaves through the Indian sporting community, with fans and athletes alike expressing disbelief and disappointment. Vinesh Phogat, known for her resilience and determination, will undoubtedly be devastated by this unexpected setback.
The incident has also sparked a debate about the stringent weight regulations in wrestling and whether they are fair to athletes who have undergone rigorous training and weight loss regimes.
