The Indian woman wrestler Vinesh Phogat is certainly heartbroken after getting disqualified in the Paris Olympics 2024 for exceeding the weight limit by 100 gms.
Usually, Vinesh Phogat takes part in the 53 kg freestyle wrestling category but for the Paris Olympics, she prepared herself for taking part in the 50 kg freestyle wrestling category. She was a strong contender for the gold medal as she had a phenomenal tournament till the final match which she couldn’t play.
Vinesh Phogat was highly disappointed with the unfortunate events and she decided to take retirement from wrestling. She wrote on X, “Mother, wrestling won against me, I lost… Your dreams and my courage are shattered. I don’t have any more strength now. Goodbye Wrestling 2001-2024. I will forever be indebted to all of you. Please forgive (me).”
माँ कुश्ती मेरे से जीत गई मैं हार गई माफ़ करना आपका सपना मेरी हिम्मत सब टूट चुके इससे ज़्यादा ताक़त नहीं रही अब।
