Vinesh Phogat Disqualified: The disqualification of Vinesh Phogat in Paris Olympics has given a big shock to every Indian. On Tuesday, Vinesh first defeated the four-time world champion and gold medalist of the last Olympics and then registered brilliant victories in the quarter-finals and semi-finals. It was almost certain that Vinesh would win the gold medal, but she has been disqualified before the final due to being overweight. Now the Wrestling Federation has filed a complaint against this.
Let us tell you that Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified due to being 100 grams overweight. She was considered a strong contender to win gold in the 50 kg weight category. Now the news has come that the Indian delegation of IOA President PT Usha and India’s Chef de Mission Gagan Narang will soon meet the UWW President. At the same time, the Wrestling Federation has also lodged a complaint against it. However, Vinesh’s disqualification will not be withdrawn. The Olympic Association has promoted a Cuban wrestler in the final in her place.
India suffered a second setback in Paris Olympics
This is the second big setback for India in wrestling. Earlier, Indian female wrestler Nisha Dahiya, who participated in the 68 kg weight category, could not win a medal due to injury. Nisha had to face defeat in the quarter-final match. Nisha was defeated 10-8 by North Korea’s Seoul Gum. With this defeat, Nisha’s journey in the Olympics ended.
