The Olympic Association has disqualified Vinesh Phogat from playing the final match of women’s wrestling in the 50 kg category. On Vinesh’s disqualification, Indian wrestler and Vinesh’s sister Babita Phogat said that it is very sad to see all this. We were sure of a medal. Vinesh had tried hard to lose weight. But Vinesh’s health also had to be taken care of, and weight also had to be lost. The entire staff made efforts regarding this. But today it was bad luck for Vinesh and the entire country. He said that God takes away even after serving.
Babita said that the incident of Vinesh being disqualified cannot be believed. The match that Vinesh played earlier (on Tuesday), she fought in the 50 kg weight category only. He said that Paris Olympics should change its rules. Vinesh had reached the finals so she should at least get a silver medal.
Wrestler Babita said that if Vinesh’s weight had not come yesterday, we would have assumed that she could not participate. He has won three to four bouts. If she cannot fight the final fight then she should be given silver.
Regarding Vinesh’s weight, Vinesh’s weight was 50 kg, she fought the fight only after reducing that weight. She could not fight the bout without eating because there was a fear of dehydration, the water we drink also remains inside the body. In such a situation the weight increases. If a player has reached that far, even if he is not allowed to play to win, he should definitely be given a medal. Vinesh worked as hard as she could, the entire staff was also trying to lose weight the whole night.
