Will now return without any medal
PARIS, August 7, 2024
In a shocking reversal of fortunes, Vinesh Phogat was disqualified today from the Olympics after being found overweight ahead of her Women’s 50 kilograms’ final here, leaving her medal-less within hours of coming close to an unparalleled Gold.
Vinesh had scripted history by becoming the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the Gold Medal Bout in the event on Tuesday Night. Before this Morning, she was assured of at least a Silver Medal but will now be coming back empty-handed due to disqualification.
“She was found overweight by 100 grams this Morning. The rules do not allow this and she has been disqualified,” an Indian coach said.
