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.
Vinesh was hospitalised Wednesday after she fainted soon after she learnt about her disqualification. Tributes poured in as the shocker seeped in among countrymen.
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.
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.
