Indian Wrestler Vinesh Phogat Disqualified from Olympic Final for Exceeding Weight Limit

Phogat's disqualification, just 100 grams over the limit, disrupts medal matches and prompts calls for support from Indian leadership.

Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the 50kg wrestling final for being 100 grams over the weight limit.
The Indian Olympic Association and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have expressed their support and are appealing the decision.
Phogat's disqualification has led to adjustments in the medal matches, with Cuba's Yusneylis Guzman Lopez advancing to the final.
Phogat's journey included a victory over the top-seeded Yui Susaki of Japan, making her the first Indian woman to reach an Olympic wrestling final.
Medical officials explained that necessary hydration after previous bouts contributed to Phogat's weight gain.
