I heard about Vinesh Phogat only yesterday and wondered which Dangal girl is this? Then found that she is not the Dangal girl but their cousin sister.

What a heart breaking moment! I feel bad for her.

100 grams more is not permissible. What if they are 100 grams less? Is it ok? 🤔

Humko jitna hurt feel ho raha hai..unhone toh taxpayer's money allocate kiya tha. and Indeed they got the best coaches and what not..If indeed their problem is with Vinesh specifically, why even sponsor her to go to Olympics?smiley22 having said that..woh ghatiya Brij Bhushan roaming around unscathed after everything he did is indeed extremely disappointing and senseless and straight up washing machine wala stuff.

100 gms is so cruel criteria to disqualify someone that you dont even give her a silver medal..and not that she fought the bout being overweight and then got disqualified?smiley24 and then the humiliation of putting her last.smiley26

Bhai if Modi was so evil

He would have made sure she wouldn't go to the Olympics.

India mein he kuch kar deta, ulta woh easy hota in comparison to doing 'so-called conspiracy' in foreign land in international level.

Modiji inn logo ko bohot chutt dete hain isliye yeh log kisi bhi level per gir kar kuch bhi bolte hain unke against.

Wrestling Trials: Vinesh Wins in the 50kg Category but Loses in the Semis of 53kg

Wrestler Vinesh Phogat suffered a disappointing 0-10 loss against Anju in the semi-final of the 53 kg category.

Wrestler Vinesh Phogat suffered a one-sided 0-10 defeat against Anju of Railways in the semi-final of the 53 kg category in the trials being conducted by the ad-hoc committee that is currently looking after Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to select the Indian squad for the Olympic Qualifiers, on Monday, 11 March.

Vinesh will now represent India in the 50kg category at the Asian Olympic Games qualifiers in Kyrgyzstan scheduled for April.

However, the two-time Olympian Vinesh defeated Shivani 11-6 in the 50 kg bout in the trials being conducted at the National Institute of Sports in Patiala.

While both 50kg and 53kg are Olympic weight categories, previously, the 29-year-old used to compete in the 53kg category, but she switched to the 50kg category after Antim Panghal secured an Olympic quota in the 53kg category.

Delayed Start in the Trials

Initially, the start of the selection trials for women's wrestling in the 50kg and 53kg categories faced a delay as Vinesh Phogat wanted a written assurance that a final trial would take place in the 53kg class before the Olympics. Additionally, she requested permission to participate in both 50kg and 53kg trials on Monday.

Vinesh, who had accused former WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment and led a prolonged protest against him, showed up to compete in the 50kg trials.

After a bit of a halt, 50 kg trials began with 14 wrestlers. Vinesh Phogat participated in both 50 kg and 53 kg both after the ad-hoc committee allowed her to participate in both categories on same day.

“Vinesh wants an assurance from the government. Probably she fears that if WFI gets back the control, the federation may change the selection policy. But how can the government give assurance on this? The government can’t interfere in selection matters,” a coach, present at the trials, had told PTI.

“Probably she wants to secure her future. If she loses 50kg trials today she wants to ensure that she remains in the hunt in 53kg. If she finishes in top-4 today in 53kg, she remains alive for Paris Games qualification,” the coach added.

Notably, when she returned to the mat in February 2024 after a hiatus of over a year, she won a gold medal at the Senior National Wrestling Championships in Jaipur while competing in the 55kg category. Vinesh had then defeated Madhya Pradesh’s Jyothi 4-0, securing a victory by fall.

Her body is used to doing 52 kg so switching to 50 kg just few months before Olympics may have hurt.

Fact is

She was Overweight by 2.15 kg, not just 150 grams when her Original category: was 53 kg, which she changed a few months back to 50 kg.

Two weight checks before finals showed she gained 2.15 kg.

So that's why she was disqualified.


2.15 kg toh bohat over hai...kal kaise allow kiya tha phir 3 matches ke liye ?



Not phogat related but interesting ..aoaa bhi hota haismiley36

How did this pan out in Vinesh Phogat’s case?

Hours after Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from the 50kg wrestling final due to a failed weigh-in on Wednesday morning, a member of her camp revealed the distressing details of her weight-cutting ordeal. “Her normal weight is 57kg, and she did everything to get down to 50kg,” the member said. “She was 49.9kg yesterday (Tuesday) morning, but the moment she had even a small meal, her weight bounced back to at least 53kg. She had to reach this weight to have the strength to fight in three bouts.”

“After the semifinals last night, her weight was 52.7kg. She didn’t sleep even a minute, didn’t drink a sip of water, and didn’t have a morsel of food. She spent the entire night running and using the sauna. She made it to 50.1kg but didn’t have time to cut the last 100 grams. There was no leeway and no extra time to make weight.”

If u are participating in 50 kg

Then you are allowed to be of 52 but she was 52.1 kg

Isliye disqualify hua.

The Olympics allow up to 2Kg overweight. She gained an extra 150 grams after the match. She tried to dehydrate and cycle etc, but couldn't lose those last 150 gms.


Bandi ne paani piya hoga, khaana khaaya hoga na.

I am searching more about this 2kg wala thing.



Haan ab Aa gaya na samajh...aise batana tha na

daant kyun rahi ho smiley13
