Olympics24 : Disaster for India as Vinesh Phogat gets disqualified after reaching wrestling 50kg final


 

The entire country was watching her. On Wednesday night, India's star wrestler Vinesh Phogat was set to compete for gold in the Paris Olympics 2024. However, bad news arrived before her match. During the morning weigh-in in Paris, it was discovered that Vinesh's weight had increased. She was supposed to compete in the 50 kg category, but her weight exceeded the limit by 100 grams.


Due to this rule violation, the star wrestler lost her chance to compete for a medal. She will not be able to participate in the finals, and she also misses out on the silver medal. Only gold and bronze medals will be awarded in the 50 kg freestyle wrestling category. Vinesh will have to return home empty-handed. According to UWW rules, Vinesh Phogat finishes last in the competition. This information has been confirmed by a national news source. This incident raises many questions: How did her weight increase? Did she not monitor her weight? These questions will now be asked.


Since Tuesday, the entire country had been dreaming of Vinesh Phogat's victory. She had secured a silver medal by defeating three wrestlers on the same day. She was set to compete for gold against an American wrestler that night. The nation had its hopes pinned on her. However, disaster struck. The IOA announced the bad news. In a statement, the IOA said, "With great regret, the Indian team announces that Vinesh Phogat has been declared ineligible for the women's 50 kg wrestling category. Despite the team's efforts, Vinesh's weight was found to be over 50 kg during the morning weigh-in. We have no further comments at this time. The Indian team requests that you respect Vinesh's privacy."
