Paris Olympics: Indian wrestler found overweight on the second day of competition in the 50 kg category, wouldn’t be on podium
In a heartbreaking twist of fate for Vinesh Phogat, the wrestler is likely to be disqualified from the Paris Olympics after she could not make the weight on the morning of her 50 kg gold medal bout.
Sources said the wrestler was roughly 100 grams over the permissible limits, which could lead to her disqualification. According to competition rules, Phogat will not be eligible even for a silver medal and the 50 kg will have just gold and bronze medal winners.
