Vinesh Phogat Faces Disqualification for Weight Issues: No Medal at Paris 2024 Olympics.

Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who was preparing for the Women's 50kg Final, has been disqualified for being 100 grams overweight. As a result, she will not be awarded any medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

India’s dreams of securing a gold medal on August 7 have been dashed, creating a deep sense of heartbreak across the nation. 

Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification not only ends her personal quest but also significantly impacts India’s Olympic aspirations. 

The Indian Olympic Association announced with regret that Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the Women’s 50kg wrestling class due to weighing slightly over 50kg. Despite the team’s efforts, she was still a few grams above the limit. 

The Indian team is requesting privacy for Phogat and will not make further comments as they shift focus to ongoing competitions.
