Why Is Vinesh Phogat Disqualified From Olympics: Indian female wrestler Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the Paris Olympics 2024 for being found overweight before the final of the women's 50 kg freestyle wrestling event. Vinesh created history by becoming the first Indian female wrestler to reach the Olympic final. Under which rule was Vinesh Phogat excluded from the Olympics and what is the whole matter, let's know.

Before the final, Vinesh Phogat was found to be 100 grams overweight. The rules do not allow this and she has been disqualified. Now reports are coming that efforts were made throughout the night to reduce her weight but they could not succeed. Giving this information, the IOA said, "We are sorry to inform that Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the 50 kg category of women's wrestling. Despite the tireless efforts of the team throughout the night, her weight was found to be more than 50 kg in the morning."

Was it 2 kilos more weight?

According to a report, Vinesh's weight was two kilograms more on Tuesday night. She cycled, skipped and jogged all night, but despite all her efforts, she could not lose the last 100 grams of weight. According to reports, the Indian team had requested the Olympic officials to give Vinesh some time to manage her weight but their demand was rejected. She had to struggle with this problem even during the Olympic qualifiers.

What does the overweight rule say?

United World Wrestling (UWW) is the leading association of wrestling and according to its rules, if a wrestler fails to equalize the weight of his category on the first or second chance before the competition, or is not available to give the weight, then he is disqualified at that very moment. Vinesh has also fallen victim to this rule and according to this rule, neither will she get any medal, but she will be placed last in the competition, that too without any rank.
