Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, competing in the 50 kg freestyle category at the Paris Olympics 2024, was disqualified just hours before the final for exceeding the weight limit by 100 grams.
Typically competing at 53 kg, Vinesh had reduced her weight to 50 kg for the Paris Olympics. Despite Indian officials requests for more time, the Olympic committee did not grant any flexibility, leading to her disqualification. The Indian Olympic Association has appealed the decision.
