Vinesh Phogat Disqualified Hours Ahead Of Women's Wrestling 50kg Final | Olympics 2024

Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the Paris 2024 Olympics. She made history by becoming the first Indian woman to reach the finals in Olympic wrestling in the women's 50 kg freestyle category. However on August 7, before the final match's weight check, she was reportedly found a few grams more than 50. The International Olympic Committee or the IOC confirmed the news of her disqualification. Previously, Phogat sealed India's spot in the final after defeating top competitors, including world champion Yui Susaki of Japan, who had never lost an international match. Phogat's journey to the finals included a hard-fought 7-4 victory over Ukraine's Oksana Livach in the quarter-finals and a dominant 5-0 win against Cuba’s Yusneylis Guzman Lopez in the semi-finals. Phogat was just one step away from clinching an Olympic medal.
