Who FAILED Vinesh Phogat? TV Newsance 262

#vineshphogat #olympics #bangladesh

This week, we saw Vinesh Phogat put in one of the best performances of all time in the Olympics. She made it to the finals of freestyle 50-kg women’s wrestling, but in a cruel twist of fate, she was disqualified for failing to meet the weight criteria ahead of the match. In this episode, we look at her Olympic journey and all that she endured over the last 18 months.

We also look at the political turmoil in Bangladesh, where massive students’ protests led to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to step down and flee the country. But are our usual suspects cracking wild theories about the situation? And what are the protesting students saying?
