The disqualification of star wrestler Vinesh Phogat from the Olympics (Paris Olympics 2024) has shocked the whole of India.
It is known that before the final fight, she was disqualified as she was a few grams more than the prescribed weight. It seems that she fell ill after these developments. It is reported that he was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday morning after losing consciousness due to dehydration.
Vinesh kept his weight under control during Tuesday’s bout. The players have to maintain the weight within the specified category for two days. But, on Tuesday night, Vinesh was 2 kg extra. So she did jogging, cycling and skipping. It is reported that he is staying up all night to lose weight, not even taking food. As a result, there are reports of dehydration. It seems that she is currently being treated at a polyclinic in Olympic Village.
Reports said that her health is stable. Even though Vinesh tried all kinds of ways to control his weight, he was 100 grams extra by the time of the weight tests. It is learned that the Olympics officials have rejected the Indian team’s request to give her some more time. She was disqualified for being overweight. As a result, Vinesh, who became the first Indian wrestler to reach the finals of the Olympics, unfortunately had to return home without a medal.
