She is a star. No matter what she won hearts💕. Her perseverance, her hard work will not go to waste. A true role model for all. Men or women🎉. She won gold in our hearts. Paris Olympics is a joke anyways.

[Imperfect.Lime.]

Guys, rules are rules. In fact, a Japanese male wrestler who won Gold in paris olympics this year was disqualified from Tokyo olympics 2020 for just 50g! But nonetheless, Vinesh’s efforts are commendable! She made history by defeating Susaki. I want people to not forget her because usually if you don’t win a medal, people will only talk about you for a few days and then forget the thing. I want everyone to welcome her like a true olympic champ that she is! ❤

[sreelakshmi]

[levelselamat]

Yes, in my heart she's a gold medalist.. from Malaysia

[alishaashish]

She competes in 53 kg category. She forced herself in 50kg category. Shivani would have qualified for olympics in 50kg category

[tuhin]

Very well put together
The weight management thing is brutal.
She is a true hero ❤
She already deserves
Sporting legend status

[behramchinoy]

Come what may a sports persons should never, never ever gives up. Rules are rules and applicable to all sports persons. All of us need to encourage her convince her that with her hard work & dedication she will tomorrow become a World wrestling champion. Heroes never give up. Jai Hind

[saikumarkodati]

I may not wrong she is 52.150 kgs
In 50KGs allowed 2 more kgs
But she crossed 52kgs...
Actually she fitting 53 but in that category more power opponent are there, so fight in 50kgs category

[bhajrangbalikijai]

She is the second wrestler in the 50 kg category to be disqualified for 100gms other athlete was from good athletes lost out to 100gms....Does it make sense???? Problem is those are Olympic will have to think how we can now prevail over

[vanamalik]

Sympathisisng with the wrestler is perfectly fine. But it cannot go the extent of legitimising wrong doing, knowingly or unknowingly and projecting disqualification as championship. You are actually doing a great disservice not only to the wrestler but also to the sport and the aspiring younsters and fans alike.
