It clearly seems that vinesh and her team clearly knew the rules and took the risk..
After wasting immense amount of time protesting, they went for trails and wanted qualifications in any available category..
Since under 50 was possible they took up risk and tried to maintain weight at border level..
It was all purely risky and nobody knew about this untill the disqualification except her team and her.. Had they won the medal this would not have been known at all.. They very well knew the risks and the disqualification rule and went ahead with it..
Since they have been disqualified this matter is out open and is under fire.. No doubt that she outplayed all her opponents and performed really well.. I feel it is so unfortunate that one's life is full of happiness one day and other day they are robbed of everything..
Some wrestling experts are saying that generally many wrestlers try for lower weight category since it allows them compete and defeat weaker opponents
Vinesh who normally competes for 53 kg is actually around 55-56kg and on the day of match, she lowers it to below 53
This time since she couldn't compete in 53kg she had to go with 50kg(rarely a player is allowed to try for weight categories
Anyhow she succeeded and then worked to reach this level and missed in last minute..
Unfortunate but decreasing and maintaining 5-6kgs is tough
Viktor lowkey sees himself in Lakshya (height difference not withstanding
)..so I feel thats why he keeps encouraging him..
