A heart-breaking decision regarding Vinesh Phogat came on Wednesday 14th August. The Court of Arbitration for Sports, or CAS, rejected Vinesh Phogat’s appeal in which she had demanded the combined silver medal in the Paris Olympics. Vinesh Phogat will now return empty handed from Paris, but the entire country is standing with her daughter. When Indian female wrestler Vinesh Phogat reaches New Delhi on the morning of Saturday 17th August, thousands of people will reach the airport to cheer her.
Wrestler Bajrang Punia gave information about Vinesh Phogat’s arrival in India on social media platform X. He told that Vinesh Phogat will reach Delhi Airport at 10 am on August 17. Along with the tweet, he has shared the poster message of Vinesh’s brother Harvendra Balali. Vinesh Phogat will go to her village from the airport and will stop in many villages and towns in between, where hundreds of people are going to be present to welcome her. The people of Haryana have launched campaigns named “Desh ki Beti, “Mhara Abhiman”, “Desh ki Shaan Vinesh Phogat”.
Let us tell you that Vinesh Phogata participated in the women’s 50 kg weight category freestyle wrestling in the Paris Olympics 2024 and performed brilliantly. She not only made it to the finals, but also defeated world number one wrestler Yui Susaki of Japan in the pre-quarterfinals. He had won three matches including the semi-final in a single day, but on the day of the final match, he was disqualified due to being slightly overweight. In such a situation, neither did he get any medal and he was placed at the last spot. She also filed an appeal in the Sports Court, but its decision also did not come in her favor and now she is returning to her country empty handed.
