Vinesh was disqualified from the Paris Olympics after failing to make weight on the second day of the competition. Scheduled to compete in the gold medal bout in the women's 50kg category, she was found overweight by 100g on August 8.

Rathee took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to debunk the rumour, stating that the claim is false and is merely a tactic for gaining cheap popularity.

IOA President PT Usha expressed her "shock and disappointment" at the CAS ruling, which upheld the decision in favour of United World Wrestling (UWW) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

As of now, Vinesh has returned to India from the Games Village after the conclusion of the Olympics. Although her arrival was not publicly documented, Mahavir Phogat assured that the family is planning a hero's welcome for her, aiming to celebrate her achievements as if she were a gold medalist.

In Tokyo Olympics, the group of 54 athletes brought 19 medals, with five golds, eight silver, six bronze and was called India’s best rendition at Paralympics in 2021. In Hangzhou Asian para games, 2023, India clinched 11 medals.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav criticised the Indian Olympic Association over its president's remarks on wrestler Vinesh Phogat's disqualification, while also taking a veiled swipe at the Modi government, suggesting they would win an Olympics for political conspiracy without competing.

The news of her disqualification has been doing the rounds across the internet for more than 24 hours now, and many opinions have surfaced. This article delves into how many athletes in the past have been able to reverse their disqualification and receive their much coveted Olympic medals.

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini made this announcement on Thursday, stating that Phogat will receive the same reward given to Olympic silver medallists.

Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has announced her retirement from the sport, just a day after her disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024. The decision comes as a heartbreaking end to her career, following a disqualification that prevented her from competing in the women's 50 kg freestyle wrestling event.

It is not that the Congress and the other INDIA bloc leaders do not know the real reason for Phogat’s disqualification. But they do not mind blaming the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, since it seems to cost them nothing.

Vinesh, became the first Indian women to reach final gold medal match on Tuesday evening. The celebrations that lasted for only 12 hours raised many questions around how was she qualified for the category that was way lower than her natural weight of 56 Kg. Her favoured weight category for the Olympics was 53kg and not 50Kg.

Just a day earlier, family members rejoiced as Vinesh became the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the Olympic final, securing a convincing 5-0 victory over Cuba's Yusneylis Guzman Lopez.
