Disappointingly, Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the 50kg freestyle wrestling final on the day of the gold medal match because she had gone above the weight restriction.<\/p>\n
Vinesh Phogat reportedly collapsed on Wednesday from dehydration and was taken to a hospital in Paris shortly after news circulated of her disqualification, according to media sources.<\/p>\n
According to the Indiatoday report, at the moment, Vinesh is stable and resting at the Olympic Village. Unluckily, the Indian contingent cannot appeal the verdict. Despite the greatest efforts of Vinesh, her coaches\u00a0and support personnel, including extreme measures such as cutting her hair and trying to\u00a0draw out blood, they were unable to achieve the necessary results.<\/p>\n
After Vinesh\u2019s setback,\u00a0Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked with\u00a0IOA President P.T. Usha to learn more about the situation and discuss India\u2019s possibilities. Under\u00a0UWW regulations,\u00a0 \u201cIf an athlete does not attend or fails the weigh-in, he\/she will be eliminated from the competition and ranked last without rank.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
