This is the woman who said that the wrestlers who were protesting against the sexual harrassment were "Tarnishing India's image". That is disgusting.

[chinmaisanand]

I myself am a doctor, and I am solely responsible for my patient's vitals/blood sugars which needs to be kept under control on days such as surgery, etc. It was the job of the nutrionist to properly maintain Vinesh's weight and failing at that for a Gold medal bout is nothing short of criminal negligence and the people responsible should be brought out and penalised. More power to you Vinesh, you have already won the Gold in our hearts.♥

[joilphom]

Talented young woman killed by nonsense by entire team trainer's and by politicians.

[josejoseph]

Can we see such lethargic support staff in china/japan/korea? These people ruined India hopes in olympics!

[vikrantkatke]

Shameless, absolute mismanagement which has cost India a medal.

PT Usha needs to take accountability & resign. Hope its not a conspiracy & sabotage.

[muralipk]

Bottom line: You failed in your job and responsibility!

[cedricdias]

If the nutritionist has to read his statement from his mobile phone, it says a lot.

[ajoydebbarma]

There is nothing wrong with Vinesh. She'll return a WINNER!

[sandy]

pt usha utterly shameless...she must be held responsible

[shrikantkanakatti]

When support team and Doctor know we can't reduce weight.. why didn't withdrawn or shown injury so that we would get Silver medal ?

[tanvirsingh]

Event: Last 2days

Weight 1st day morning: 49.9kg
Weight 1st day evening: 52.7kg

Weight 2nd day morning (Today): 50.1kg

[Forwhomthebelltolls]

Yes, now P.T Usha will teach us medicine.

[pravinb]

Very lengthy explanation but question is were you not aware of the short gap 12 hrs? It appears like a shoddy job overall. Why this doesn't happen with other wrestlers?

[SR-djhy]

Dr in whole video: 1) Every human being is different 2) If we only had some more time

[TROYELLIOT]

Basic problem she was not allowed by Indian Olympic committee to participate in her regular 53kg category which she has done in all these year. These team played politics as she was part of the protest against GODI and her corrupt ministers and gave another player chance in 53kg and as only 1 player is allowed in 1 category from one category they gave her 2 options increase weight to 55kg and and fight strong players or reduce weight to 50kgs and fight there. she naturally chose 50kgs as you get a chance in olympics only in 4 years. 50kgs is difficult to maintain, 55kgs is unfair unless you have that weight your whole career. Indian olympics committee put her in that impossible situation knowing she would fail in both, they are now showing how they tried everything. but not highlighting the fact they gave a non winning player her 53kg slot.

[sayandg]

Shameful incompetence on part of support staff nutritionist .. what were all of you doing? PT Usha should answer the nation.. Dr Pardiwala you are answerable to the nation

[rudranilde]

Where is she and how is she? Someone please ask this question.

[singhrajvee]

First Amit Rohidas in hockey, which costed us semifinal loss.

Then, Nishant dev in boxing. Intentionally given less points.

I have seen almost all Hockey matches of India, refree always favored the opposite team. Did partiality.

Now Vinesh, just for 100gm. You should have demanded time. Or atleast demand Silver Medel.

Why have you gone there, not doing anything just holding that president post. Shame!!

[ऋषभx]

Indian coaches and experts do not have olympic level expertise. This is why bringing foreign coaches is important. But this government always wants to save money and try such stunts. Even in archery they refused the korean coach just before olympics, probably coz he asked for good money, and look what happened- we got a coach who always used to shout "shabaash" even when the archer hits 8. Embarrasing.

[Ajitpatnaik]

It is hard believe a person suddenly gained 2kg overnight with just hydration 2kg is a lot weight to put overnight must be something fishy
