Vinesh Phogat News Live: Heartbreak For Vinesh Phogat | Paris Olympics | News Today Preeti Choudhry
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.

Phogat's Coach should have been vigilant about her weight and fully responsible for it but lookslike there was a political conspiracy. Why this can happen to a sportswoman only who was targeted before. All this need to be seriously investigated.

[rajivikrishnan]

What has happened is unfortunate and unforgivable. To show support to such an amazing sportsperson, the entire sporting fraternity should come together and honour Vinesh for her performance and resilience. All international and national sportsmen and sportswomen should come together and present a gold medal to Vinesh on a national podium. The entire country should their appreciation and admiration for Vinesh.

Our sporting administration seems becoming dirty ... Today it is not only vinesh phogat losing gold but our nation lost our pride as a sporting nation. We should support and seek justice for our sister vinesh phogat # SilverMedal for vinesh phogat

Guys, if all of vinesh's matches deleted Then repechage rounds must bhi rightly conducted, but susuki went on to win the bronze medal, so if she is applicable of repechage that means vinesh's all matches are considered!! So she must be awarded a medal too

It's Olympics. How unprofessional it is. Who is to be blamed? NUTRITIONIST / COACH. It's very serious.

Adillee is trying to say all well, but not seeing underlying problem..

[logesh]

Don't they know her weight before participation....y did they allow her since start of 1st thing strange....inside politics...

[tadepalliprasad]

Crocodiles tears.The panel discussion clearly brings out why a talented athlete and India" lost" the gold at the expense of political masters in power played and "gained " by not displeasing one of its cronies..shame no wonder ..time to introspect

[hansrajrai]

We play politics in sport, sadly the great talents we have are wasted

[Cvaut]

Someone fooled Vinesh... how did she not know that her weight increased by 2 kgs until a day before..who is responsible....dont we gave scale and dietician and dictors in the contingent ..dont need the drama now that her life is ruined and India lost a possible gold... did the support team go for feasting and shopping? Was she told lies about her weight till the day earlier ....gets one angry to hear bollywood style dialogue of ' mai eh karroha and woh karooga ' ...cancel all support staff professional licence and ban for life ...such a disgrace and let down for our country.. hold a impartial enquiry

[francisdias]

Adille Sumariwalla is a shrewd sportsman. And like Usha he will always go along with his bread and butter. The whole of India knows what happened when these wrestlers were molested by Brij Bhushan Sharan. And how even the PM kept mum thereby encouraging the molester. Now his crony Sanjay is at the helm of affairs of the Wrestling Federation. What justice can these wrestlers get? Only Acts of revenge. If India wanted a medal they should have given Vinesh a chance in her own 53 kg class. But here the wrestling Federation under Sanjay took their act of Revenge. Damn India getting a medal was the motto of these henchmen. Antim lost her very first bout which is a slap in the face of Sanjay and Brij. They should all be kicked out of the Federation and freshers like Vinesh made to take charge. This is what all of India wants.

Vinesh may have been ousted by the Coterie but she will always have a place in the hearts of all Indians. She will go down in history as the wrestler who was betrayed by her own wrestling Federation.

American Wrestler Jordan Burroughs says that Vinesh Phogat be given the Silver Medal ... as moDi+ptusha+team couldn't find time to appeal & re-appeal & re-re-appeal for 💫VINESH's SilverMedal💫, but found instant-time to shameLessLy start shouting ...✍️🏾
