Vinesh Phogat disqualified! Here's a timeline of events & how she tried to cut her weight

India`s ace wrestler Vinesh Phogat announced her retirement from the sport following her disqualification in the 50 kg freestyle wrestling final at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The 29-year-old athlete was disqualified for being 100 grams overweight hours before her gold medal bout on 7th August. But was her disqualification in the Paris Olympics justified? What is the permissible weight in any category and what are the rules of weigh-in during the Olympic Games? Let`s know all of this in the video. Well, Vinesh, who usually competes in the 53 kg category, had moved down to the 50 kg weight class for the Paris Games. Vinesh`s victory over Yui Susaki led her into the Olympic final, igniting a hope to win India`s first gold medal in wrestling and later that night, she overcame the challenge posed by Cuba`s Yusneylis Guzman Lopez with a convincing 5-0 win and with that the wrestler made history to reach the gold medal bout event. After the semi-finale, Vinesh reportedly weighed 52.7 kgs. Her team did all they could to bring her weight down to 50.1 kgs
