Vinesh Phogat, who had confidently assured India of a medal after reaching the final of the Women's 50kg event at the Paris Olympics 2024, faced a heartbreaking setback. The wrestler was disqualified for being 100 grams overweight during the second weigh-in on the day of her gold-medal match. Despite her request for a joint silver medal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected her plea.
