India suffered a heartbreak when Wrestler Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the Paris Olympics 2024 as she couldn't clear the weigh-in on the morning of the gold medal match. She was found to be overweight by 100 grams and thus was disqualified and placed last in the event with her previous oppositions being given the opportunity to win medal. In protest, Vinesh's wrestling compatriots Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik, cousins Geeta and Rita Phogat all put forward the demand of giving the silver medal to Vinesh on social media through the 'Give Vinesh Silver' campaign. Former Olympic Gold Medallist Wrestler Jordan Burroughs Suggests IOC to Give Silver Medal to Vinesh Phogat; Suggests Rule Changes to UWW to Avoid Unfair Disqualification.
