Vinesh Phogat suffered a heartbreaking disqualification from the Women's 60 Kg freestyle wrestling event after she was found 'Overweight' in the morning during the Weigh-in. Her medal was stripped off and she was placed last in the competition. Vinesh and her support staff tried their best to cut down the weight throughout the morning and even attempted to cut her hair and draw blood to reduce the weight. Even then they fell short by 100 grams. A dehydrated Vinesh, who didn't drink water for the entirety of the night had to be admitted in a local polyclinic in Paris. IOA president PT Usha met her in the hospital and checked on her health as Vinesh recovered from her setback.
