Aah, this is so unfortunate after having reached so far..
But our wishes are with Vinesh❤..

Shocking display of complacency by her supporting staff. The doctors, trainers, dieticians seem to have failed in their duties..

Bullshit rules 😮😮😮😮…. Garbage Olympics !! Just 100 grams more 😮😮…. How on earth are you supposed to be 49.995 kgs or exactly 50 kgs 😮😮😮😮!! I think as long as you don’t exceed 51 kgs, as it would be another category!!
It stinks …. these rubbish Olympic rules 😮😮😮😮

Sad 😞 for Vinesh Phogat 😢🙏

how did she weigh correct yesterday but over weight today ? What did she eat ?

This is what happens when you think you are special and you don't have to follow the rules. She has to maintain her weight under the 50kg like other participants. But yeah I remember she is special right? She is no victim here, she just failed in following the rules, period.

It's very heart breaking to hear the were very happy when we hear the news of Vinesh, the only women of Indian boxer reached to final Olympics.😢..she came through a long way from surgery, protests against sexual assault to defeated the 3 wrestler in Olympic and now disqualified...what is this....this is injustice towards India....if this is 100gm overweight under 50kg then why they allowed to participate under 50kg in the first place, they should have allowed to participate above 50kg then is International Olympic committee has allowed to participate Khalif of Algeria and Lin of Taiwan with xy chromosomes but not allowed to participate just because 100kg overweight ....

Seems fishy. She protested against Indian Primeminister and now kicked her out of the match for just being 100 grams overweight. She could have dropped it if just cuts down the hair.

Weight measuring a common rule for fighting games not only for Olympics but for boxing, UFC, Muithai, wrestling, Takwando etc. Weight measuring was also involved in an Amatuer lrvel body building i have attended.
Heavier weights gives advantage .

There is no denial the athletes has talents, but when reading the news, i wondered why she is in 50kg category instead of heavier category? Was this approved by Indian Olympic Association officers without measuring? It is hard to believe a hard working athlete could not control her diet for a few months. This is not even. The duty of her doctors at the first place.

[grgrgrjjjjjj]

If any other player given discount of 101 gram, then only you can demand a discount of 100g. I think olympic rules are same for everyone.

Lucky Sarah wins gold without a fight after indian does all the hard work.

Perhaps cricket 🏏 is the strong point than wrestling like there are famous wrestlers in US liked in WWE came from i forgot some tall in height. In other states of India.
