PM Modi ‘Come Back Stronger’ To Vinesh Phogat After Olympics Disqualification

Following Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his support through a heartfelt tweet. Modi described Phogat as “a champion among champions” and a source of pride and inspiration for India. He acknowledged the disappointment of the setback but emphasized Phogat’s renowned resilience and determination. Modi encouraged her to “come back stronger” and assured her that the entire nation is rooting for her.

HAVE A LOOK AT THE POST:

The Indian delegation announced with regret that Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the women’s 50 kg wrestling division at the Paris Olympics 2024. Despite the team’s best efforts, Phogat weighed slightly over 50 kg during the weigh-in this morning, leading to her disqualification. The Indian team has decided not to make further statements at this time and requests privacy for Vinesh Phogat.

Phogat had been a strong contender, having wrestled her way to the final match. Earlier in the tournament, she achieved a notable victory over Yui Susaki in the pre-quarterfinals, a remarkable feat given Susaki’s undefeated international record and gold medal from the Tokyo Olympics.

The disqualification marks a poignant moment in Phogat’s career. After the final whistle, both Phogat and Susaki appeared stunned. Vinesh Phogat, visibly emotional, reflected on her journey, including a career-threatening injury from the Rio 2016 Olympics. As she lay on the mat, tears in her eyes, the weight of her unexpected turn of events was evident.
