"I wish words could express the sense of despair that I am experiencing," PM Modi said. He described Phogat as a champion among champions and said she epitomises resilience. "Come back stronger! We are all rooting for you," the Prime Minister said. Phogat has been disqualified from the Paris Olympics 2024 after failing to meet weight requirement for her 50 kg gold medal.
