Vinesh’s disqualification came after she was found to be 100 grams overweight during the second weigh-in on the morning of her gold-medal match.
Her appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to overturn the disqualification and her request for a shared silver medal were both dismissed.
The decision left Vinesh disheartened, prompting her to announce her retirement from the sport, stating that she no longer had the strength to continue.
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA), led by President PT Usha, expressed “shock and disappointment” at the CAS decision, calling it a significant blow to Vinesh and the larger sporting community.
The IOA criticized the stringent regulations that led to Vinesh’s disqualification, arguing that they failed to account for the physiological and psychological pressures athletes endure, particularly female athletes.
Despite the setback, the IOA remains committed to supporting Vinesh, exploring further legal avenues to ensure her case receives the attention it deserves.
As Vinesh returns home from Paris, her future in wrestling remains uncertain, but her resolve to fight for justice and fairness in sports is unwavering.
