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.

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.
