Vinesh Phogat Faces Disqualification
Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who entered the final of the women's 50kg freestyle on Tuesday, is likely to be disqualified from the Paris Olympics after she failed to make the weight.
Phogat, who won a stunning victory in the 50kg freestyle wrestling semi-final on Tuesday, was expected to compete in the final on Wednesday. However, she was unable to make the weight requirement and will now be disqualified.
This is a heartbreaking twist of fate for Phogat, who has been one of India's top wrestlers for many years. She won a gold medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and a silver medal at the 2019 World Championships.
Phogat's disqualification means that India will not have a representative in the women's 50kg freestyle wrestling competition at the Paris Olympics. This is a major blow to India's hopes of winning a medal in the sport.
The Paris Olympics are scheduled to be held from July 26 to August 11, 2024. India is expected to send a large contingent of athletes to the Games and will be hoping to win a number of medals.
