Vinesh Phogat Disqualified from Paris Olympics for Being 100 Grams Overweight, Hospitalised
Aug 7, 2024, 07:26 AM
Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the Paris Olympics 2024 due to being overweight by 100 grams. The disqualification occurred just before her gold medal bout in the women's 50kg wrestling category. Despite efforts by the Indian contingent to address the weight issue overnight, Phogat was found slightly over the weight limit during the weigh-in. The Indian Olympic Association expressed regret over the incident, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged the IOA President PT Usha to explore all options to support Phogat's case. The disqualification has sparked significant disappointment and discussions about the strict enforcement of weight rules in Olympic wrestling. Mahavir Phogat, Vinesh's uncle, expressed emotional distress over the decision. Additionally, Vinesh Phogat has been hospitalised due to dehydration.
