Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the Paris Olympics. She weighed over the 50kg limit for her event by just 100 grams.
She tried hard to meet the weight limit. She skipped meals and stayed up all night to cut down her weight.
Despite her efforts, the rules didn’t allow exceptions. Her 100-gram excess led to her disqualification.
Vinesh was assured of a silver medal. Now, she returns home empty-handed, leaving fans and the nation disappointed.
Her journey inspired many. She defeated top wrestlers, becoming the first Indian woman in the Olympic wrestling final.
