The news of Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who secured a place in the 50 kg women's freestyle finals, getting disqualified from the event has left the country in shock. Phogat, who defeated Cuba's Yusneylys Guzmanin in the semi-finals, was merely over 100 grams than her proposed weight of 50 kg, leading to her disqualification. Celebrities couldn't hold but express their disappointment on social media requesting the organisers to do something. Among them was Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav, who shared a long post on his X (previously Twitter) handle. Taking the example of the recent rumours surrounding Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, the YouTuber raised a question on why the 100grams difference is an issue here if such things were allowed. However, it's important to clarify that the rumours about Khelif's gender are baseless, and she is a biological female. Why Was Vinesh Phogat Disqualified from Paris Olympics 2024 Women's 50 Kg Wrestling Final? What Do Rules Say?.
