Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat faced disqualification from her gold medal match at the Paris 2024 Olympics, causing widespread disappointment and frustration within the Indian contingent. The disqualification occurred because Phogat weighed over the 50kg limit by 100 grams, despite her efforts to cut weight, including cutting her hair (Khel Now) (myKhel).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Reaction: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his support for Phogat on social media, calling her a "champion among champions" and the "pride of India." He acknowledged the setback but emphasized her resilience and urged her to come back stronger (Khel Now).
Background and Context: Phogat, who had consistently met the weight requirements in previous matches, failed to do so during the final weigh-in on Wednesday morning. Despite running and skipping rope to lose the final grams, she was slightly over the limit. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and the Wrestling Federation of India have appealed the decision, seeking reconsideration (Khel Now) (myKhel).
Health and Safety Measures: Following her disqualification, Phogat received intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration and underwent blood tests to ensure her overall health. Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, the chief medical officer for the Indian team, explained that wrestlers often compete in weight classes below their natural weight for an advantage, which involves stringent weight management practices (Khel Now) (myKhel).
Support from the Wrestling Community: Abhinav Bindra, India’s first individual Olympic gold medalist, expressed his sympathy, highlighting that true champions are defined by their perseverance and spirit, not just medals (Khel Now).
Impact on the Indian Team: Phogat’s disqualification came as a significant blow to the Indian team, especially after her notable victory against the top seed earlier in the competition. The IOA President, PT Usha, assured full support for Phogat and emphasized that the nation stands with her during this challenging time (Khel Now).
