Vinesh Phogat faced a significant setback regarding her participation in the Paris 2024 Olympics. Despite a strong performance that saw her reach the finals of the women's 50kg wrestling category during the qualification events, Vinesh was disqualified due to being slightly overweight during the final weigh-in. This disqualification occurred just before her gold medal match, where she was scheduled to face Sarah Hildebrandt of the USA. The disqualification meant that Vinesh could not compete for the gold medal or secure her spot at the Paris Olympics.
This incident was particularly disappointing given Vinesh's impressive journey leading up to the finals, where she had defeated top-seeded and defending Olympic champion Yui Susaki from Japan, among others. The Indian Olympic Association expressed regret over the incident, noting that despite their best efforts, Vinesh was just a few grams over the weight limit, leading to her disqualification.
This unfortunate event has prevented Vinesh Phogat from securing a place at the Paris 2024 Olympics, marking a challenging moment in her wrestling career.
