India at Olympics

[karn]

Disqualified for being a few gms overweight ! Either she couldn't stop herself from hogging out there in Paris or there's something more to it than meets the eyes. If it's the former , then the level of individual responsibility, seriousness & overall supervision is extremely flimsy & facetious to say the least.

In all weight category sports everyone tries to go down a category using very unhealthy means .. It;s not about hogging, even water retention can cause one's weight to go up a little (especially if you dehydrated yourself for the weigh in). Weight management is huge part of these weight category sports .

it's worse than rio. had been waiting for paris olympics eagerly after seeing neeraj's gold in 2021 but it has been a disaster.

The performance is even worse than the 2004 Athens Olympics where we won at least one silver medal.

She was approximately 2 kilos overweight on Tuesday night. She didn’t sleep the whole night and did everything in her capacity to meet the criteria – from jogging to skipping and cycling.

However, it didn’t prove to be enough. Sources said the Indian delegation pleaded for some more time to give her a chance to shed the last 100 grams, but to no avail.

This isn’t the first time Phogat has found it tough to make the weight in the 50 kg category, a lower one compared to the 53 kg where she usually competes. She faced a similar ordeal even during the Olympic qualifiers, where she narrowly made the cut.

Since it is 100gm. I hope indians Babus will buy some time.

Thermal blankets goes burrr

She was basically cheating and bullied her way into this category. If GoI had intervened she would barked on Twitter against Modi.

So Modi did right to let her use her Khota brain and get busted like this on the world stage.

Anyhow they are appealing; let us wait and watch.

Correct. Her correct weight category would be 53 KG instead of 50 KG.

She's not a victim. I still feel a bit bad for her though.

 

[altruistRor]

Many of you are understandably upset because you wanted that gold for the country. However, you might not fully grasp the deep animosity these people hold toward Modi. She is a repeat offender, arrogant, and has frequently messed around with her weight. A cheater indeed.

Don’t waste your sympathy on her. It seems you've forgotten the chants of "death to Modi." Such individuals deserve no support whatsoever. They are disloyal and would even curse him, regardless of what he might do for them.

Does disqualification mean that she gets 0 medals despite her earlier wins ? This is so embarrassing damn.

Yes, she is disqualified on the grounds of malpractice. Will get nothing.

No Olympics streamlined the weights. No more 53,63. This will be 50,60

 

[Yuyutsu]

only 2 golds can cure me now , we have 4 wrestlers left, mirabai chanu, neeraj . ranking matters at last and only 2 golds can give us better rank.
knew it from start it would be hard for us this time with less qualifications in boxing and wrestling.
athletics (very few events), shooting, boxing , wrestling , badminton, hockey that is the only area indians can dominate rest are bonus.

Anyhow they are appealing; let us wait and watch.

no way US is letting go of this easy gold and keep china at distance , last time it was really close between them.

No, both the 50 kg and 53 kg weight categories exist in freestyle wrestling. Technically, she should have competed in the 53 kg category. However, since she couldn't compete effectively against the athletes there, she chose to compete in the 50 kg category instead. This is why she was able to easily overpower the competitors in the lower weight class.

PM Narendra Modi spoke to IOA President PT Usha and sought first-hand information from her on the issue and the options India has in the wake of Vinesh's setback. He asked her to explore the full range of options to help Vinesh’s case. He also urged PT Usha to file a strong protest regarding her disqualification if that helps Vinesh: Sources

She was cheating. The government let her be. This happens when you become a hot potato that no one wants to handle.
I am saying it only after the news that her gang revealed unintentionally that she was working hard throughout the night to reduce her weight.

not confident about the other two but mirabai has surely an easy group, world record holder north korean not playing this game , only chinese lifter and last time's gold medalist seems like better than her , everyone else in that group is not loooking that probable.
if she had done good preparation then she can reclaim her medal.
