Former wrestler says rules at Olympics, only event without a 2kg buffer, too strict, should be eased. Coaches, doctors responsible for diet, should explain how Vinesh's weight increased.
Vinesh was disqualified for failing to make the weight ahead of her gold medal match in 50-kg freestyle. She was the 1st Indian woman wrestler to have ever made that far.
Vinesh Phogat will also not be eligible for a silver medal, leaving only gold and bronze winners in 50kg category. She was slated to face USA’s Sarah Hildebrandt in the final.
Indian Olympic Association says Phogat failed to make weight before her gold-medal match in 50-kg freestyle. Modi has sought firsthand information from IOA about recourse before India.
Bhaker won a bronze each in women’s 10m air pistol and 10m air pistol mixed team event — where she had paired with Sarabjot Singh — to script Olympic history for the country.
Phogat, 1st Indian woman to reach finals of 50 kg freestyle tournament at Paris Olympics, was reminded of how she had allegedly said 'Modi teri kabar khudegi' during wrestlers' protests.
Trailing 0-2 after conceding penalty points for passivity, Phogat came back brilliantly in the last five seconds to take down the top seed by clinching three points to win 3-2.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
