News Today With Rajdeep Sardesai: Did Support Staff Miscalculate Weight Plan Of Vinesh? | Olympics

In a big blow to India's chances of winning a Gold medal, Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the women's 50kg wrestling final at the Paris Olympics. The 29-year-old was found ineligible to compete on the second day as she was found 150 gram overweight during the weigh-in on the day of the final.

Unfortunately, Vinesh Phogat will not win any medal at the Paris Olympics, if the disqualification stays. Despite the best efforts from Vinesh Phogat's team on Tuesday night, the wrestler missed the weight on Wednesday.

Why support staff and nutritionist miscalculated Phogat's weight and why? Looks like instead of Phogat, Brij Bhushan won gold today.

[Domdingoi]

I am crying for her warrior heart... Vinesh you are the people champion....

[ignatiusjeyajothi]

Dont worry Vinesh Phogat, Indians are supporting you
चिंता मत करो विनेश फोगट, भारतीय तुम्हारा समर्थन कर रहे हैं

[oneworld]

They cut her hair
They failed to shave her head‼️
Lesser said the better on P.T.Usha.

[anoopalex]

Supporting staff what doing??? Nutritionist completely failed

[madhus]

Even 200 ml of water can give crazy weight variations on 2 different days..Only People who are in intense workouts and on diet will know this..What Babita told is bang onnn.. and Vineesh Phogat one word RESPECT..

[worldview]

Shocking & unpredictable that her "Other" opponent (Weight) beat her to the scales. Sad for her, I would have loved to see her win that Gold for India & her personal career retirement 😍👍

[sankarthinker]

It is PT Usha who has tarnished the name of India today.

[ambat]

I blame sagarika ghosh for this loss of medal since it's a free for all 😂

[Vij]

Why is Vinesh Phogat not allowed to fight with Antim Panghal before deciding that Antim can take 53 kg and Vinesh pushed down to 3 kg below her natural weight category. This is politics.

[manoalex]

All said and done..It reflects on the Indian Govt...only big talk...no stuff

[samuelsavel]

It is possible that the weighing scale was substituted for a faulty one by the suspended officials who had accompanied the Olympic delegation.
Track the movement of the officials at the Olympic venue and the weighing scale conspiracy.

[Bbcci]

"All positions in sports, including sports director or president, should be filled without political influence."

[marialo]

Support staff is responsible, why they are appointed, for fun?

[carandroid]

rajdeep ko aaj patle wale loose motion lag gaye 😂😂😂

P.T.Usha had shown her mettle earlier during the agitation of the wrestler girls's agitation for justice against the sexual harassments done by the then Wrestling Federation of India President and the BJP MP from UP, Brij Bhushan ! P.T.Usha, called the agitating girls Anti-Nationals and Shameful People who tarnished the Pride of the country! This former 400m runner who missed the Bronze medal in the 400 metre race by 1/400 th of a second in the 1986 Olympics. She should be definitely knowing the pain and struggles of a sportswomen in surviving and achieving goals like an Olympic medal. But she turned into a mere Modi Bhakt & spoke like a cheap BJP activist to get into the Olympic Committee President's post. She and the coach, trainer and other officials must have truly created a trap leading the poor girl to fall into this body weight trap! How can an athlete after ensuring a silver medal in Olympics be allowed to get disqualified just because of the body weight exceeding the limit by 150 grams under the watchful eyes of these officials and the female Olympic Committee President P.T.Usha.-who are all drawing huge salaries and perks for taking care of our precious Sportstars and help them win Medals ! This is definitely a trap created to save the egoistic Politicians and Wrestling Association former officials and above ALL the Vishwa-Visha-Guru and his trusted Lieutenant's false prestiges and shameful moral defeat before Wrestler girls! The winning of a GOLD which was almost sure would have tarnished the Political, Moral and Personal images of the Viswa-Visha-Guru and his close bhakts to a great extend! So this is a very shrewd move to avoid such a big damage to the images of the Viswa-visha-guru and his Hench men and the Party built up through spending billions! The same financial resource providers of the Viswa-Visha-Guru and their influences in International Olympic Committee and in the Indian Olympic Committee and the key officials who were supposed to monitor and secure the efforts of this poor girl's hard work and dedication which almost single handedly reaching the Apex of getting even a GOLD in her event, by fighting against all odds, has been unfortunately shattered by some of most inhuman creatures disguised as humans, who are holding the most powerful positions in our country, unfortunately elected by us ! A thorough investigation under the strict supervision of the Supreme Court of India should be conducted in this tragic but humanly created events that led to this painful loss to the NATION and to a great Athlete who had been struggling to achieve the dream of her life by fighting against all odds including sexual harrassments from the most powerful people in the very field of her competition ! The people of India has ALL the right to know who actually played behind the screens in denying the NATION and OLYMPIC GOLD/SILVER medal in this prestigious 2024 Paris Olympics !
A humble and lovable request from the bottom of the heart of WE People of India to Vineesh Phogat is that Please Rethink about your emotionally driven decision to Quit Wrestling forever! We the brothers and Sisters and Uncles and Aunties of yours, Dear Vineesh Phogat, request you NOT to quit Wrestling without achieving the dream of your life - A GOLD MEDAL IN THE OLYMPICS! YOU ARE STILL YOUNG VINEESH, JUST 29, THERE ARE SPORTSMEN / SPORTSWOMEN who achieved the ultimate achievement of an OLYMPIC GOLD even in their forties! We know we are asking a BIG sacrifice of your personal life as a woman at 29. But we have our own boxing champion who won her Asian Games Gold medal in boxing even in her forties! So 29 + 4 =33 yrs is not late for you to WIN a Gold in the 2028 Olympics! It is a cruel demand we are putting forward Vineesh Phogat our dear sister...!! The entire NATION's PRAYERS and BLESSINGS will be there with you VINEESH! So Please reconsider your decision to QUIT WRESTLING! YOUR QUITTING WILL BE A GREAT WIN for THE HUMAN LOOKING DEVILS AGAINST WHOM YOU and YOUR FELLOW WRESTLER BROTHERS & SISTERS FOUGHT FOR MANY MONTHS FOR JUSTICE! YOU WILL CERTAINLY WIN A GOLD NEXT TIME ! AND THE DEVILS WHO SABOTAGED YOUR EFFORTS THIS SHOULD SEE YOU WINNING THE GOLD AND ON SEEING IT should break their hearts and DIE ! And you and your fellow wrestler sisters and brothers should be able see those devils dying by breaking their hearts! Pls. ACCEPT our REQUEST VINEESH!
JAI HIND! 🙏🙏🙏 VANDE MAATHARAM! ♥♥♥🙏🙏🙏

[premsagar]

Brij Bhushan won the Gold won his bet today

[debashishbhattacharjee]

It is assumed from all reports that, the Olympic contingent officials are totally messed.

[bubwar]

Very unfair for a Potential International Medal Sport person to fight and protest for their rights. Seeing her protest in this way is very bad and No Respect at all. Shame to the authority for not practice a Fair Play to these great athletes.
Rajiv Sardesai many thanks for bringing these discussions in a factual manner and interesting for the public to watch.
Facts should be Facts no cover up let hope we learned from these unfortunately events.
I Salute to all the Panalists for speakout their free mind.
Perhaps Indian Sports Politics has prevented the 1.4billions to see Indian Sport person to perform to their maximum potential and bring our Country to be within the top 10 or 20 Countries medal tallies.
But, sorry to see we failed again and again to achieve.
When will we get a chance to reach this target????

[shrlyalex]

Stop uour drama best godi media. This is a meticulous plan agsinst phogat. You shouldnt even utter her name.
