setback just hours before the final. Vinesh, competing in the 50 kg freestyle wrestling category, was disqualified for being 100 grams over the weight limit. Normally a contender in the 53 kg category, she had meticulously reduced her weight to 50 kg for the Olympics. However, on Day 2 of her weigh-in, she was found to be just over the limit by a mere 100 grams. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has urgently appealed her disqualification, leaving her Olympic dreams hanging in the balance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She discovered the previous night that her weight had increased by 1 kg and in a desperate bid to lose the extra weight, she endured a high intensity training of cycling and exercises without sleep and finally managed to lose 900 grams of weight according to sources.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite her efforts, Vinesh Phogat was still overweight by 100 g . Indian officials pleaded with the Olympic committee by the direction of prime minister narendra modi for more time, but sources indicate there was &#8220;very little elbow room for negotiation.&#8221; This unfortunate turn of events casts a shadow over her Olympic aspirations.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ce800f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0ce800f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac68e11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"ac68e11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\tatOptions = {\r\n\t\t'key' : 'b9a396e4c7adf2aada7eb42f7fc5f994',\r\n\t\t'format' : 'iframe',\r\n\t\t'height' : 90,\r\n\t\t'width' : 728,\r\n\t\t'params' : {}\r\n\t};\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/www.topcreativeformat.com\/b9a396e4c7adf2aada7eb42f7fc5f994\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82a7ce9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"82a7ce9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f592c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2f592c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/usnewstech.com\/de\/history-rewritten-simone-biles-gets-second-olympic-medal-in-her-carrier-making-us-citizens-proud-paris-olympics-2024\/\">Know about simone biles Gold medal in Olympic<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is Vinesh Phogat?
