As a fervent admirer and ardent supporter of Indian sports, particularly wrestling, I find myself deeply moved by the unfortunate turn of events that unfolded for Vinesh Phogat at the Paris Olympics. Having followed her journey from the grassroots level to the world stage, I have witnessed firsthand her unyielding spirit, tenacity, and grit, qualities that have earned her the respect and adoration of millions across the nation.
On Tuesday, Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat made history as the first Indian wrestler to advance to the Olympic finals in the women’s 50kg category at the Paris Olympics. With high expectations for her performance, the nation eagerly anticipated her match. However, on the final day, Phogat was disqualified after weighing 150 grams over the allowed limit during the weigh-in. She was 29 years old.
Immediately following the unveiling of the news, there was a wave of sorrowful discussions across the internet. Notable figures like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Taapsee Pannu, Farhan Akhtar, among others, expressed their reactions to the unfolding events.
In response to Vinesh Phogat being disqualified from the Paris Olympics final, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on X: “Vinesh, you’re a champion among champions!
