Indian wrestling sensation Vinesh Phogat suffered a heartbreaking disqualification from the Paris Olympics final after being deemed 100 grams overweight during the pre-match weigh-in. The decision has sparked outrage and disbelief among fans, athletes, and experts alike.

Vinesh's father, Mahaveer Phogat, expressed his disappointment and frustration over the decision. He emphasized that a slight weight difference is common among athletes and should not be grounds for disqualification. He vowed to prepare Vinesh rigorously for the next Olympics, aiming for a well-deserved medal.
