It has come to light that wrestler Vinesh Phogat was thrown out of the Olympic medal race for being just 100 grams overweight. This is not to be believed, how to gain weight overnight. But the committee has given its order. The shocking news has been confirmed by the Indian Olympic Association

Vinesh Phogat has been declared ineligible for the Paris Olympics. In this situation, the Olympic athletes of India have also received a huge blow. Sources said that his weight does not match the 50 kg category. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) said that it is shocking that Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the Indian team women's wrestling 50 kg category.

After being disqualified from the Paris Olympics 2024, Indian women's wrestler Vinesh Phogat was thrown out of the finals of the women's wrestling 50 kg category. Now Cuban women's wrestler Yuznelis Guzman Lopez, who lost to Vinesh Phogat in the semifinals, will play the final. In the very first round, Vinesh's match was against Japanese wrestler Y Susaki. Susaki won the gold medal in the fifty kilogram weight class at the Tokyo Olympics.
But the biggest thing was that this world number one wrestler has not lost a single match after making his international debut. From the Junior World Championships to the Olympics, Susaki played in the finals a total of 13 times and returned with a gold medal each time. Susaki took the lead against Vinesh by scoring a point in the first time period.
Vinesh did not score any points during this period. Susaki also scored a point in the second round. Vinesh scored two technical points with a strong grip. The match turned out to be very exciting and in the final moments, Vinesh took the lead and won the match 3-2.
