On the night of 6th August, every Indian must have slept with the dream of Vinesh Phogat’s gold medal, but on the morning of 7th August this dream was shattered. In the women’s 50 kg category at the Paris Olympic Games, Indian star Vinesh Phogat completed the journey to the final in one day. Vinesh won all three of her matches played on August 6 and reached the finals to ensure at least a silver medal for India, but she was disqualified the next day. Vinesh’s weight was 100 to 150 grams more, due to which she was disqualified and now she will not get any medal. In fact, according to the rules of wrestling in the Olympics, competitions are held within two days and the participating wrestlers are weighed on both the days.
What did you do to lose weight?
Vinesh’s coach and support staff did everything to reduce her weight, but she came overweight by 100-150 and got disqualified. Vinesh’s hair was cut and her blood was even drawn so that she could lose some weight. Vinesh is currently admitted to the hospital. Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) President Sanjay Singh said that Vinesh has been admitted to the hospital due to dehydration.
Vinesh’s weight was within the prescribed limit on the first day
Seeing the way Vinesh won the pre-quarterfinal, quarterfinal and semi-final matches, it seemed that she would definitely bring home the gold medal this time. According to the news, Vinesh was overweight by about two kilograms a night before the final, after which the coach and support staff together made every possible effort to reduce her weight. While staying within the rules, his blood was drawn and his hair was also cut, but despite all this, 100-150 grams of extra weight broke his dream of winning a medal.
