Many players including wrestler Bajrang Punia have reacted to Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from Paris Olympics 2024. He said every person in the world was praying for you. No one wants to believe what happened this morning.
Bajrang Punia also said that Vinesh, you are a gold medalist of courage and morality. You are a daughter of the soil, hence this medal also belongs to the soil. You fought with great courage, yesterday when the Olympic officials weighed you before playing, your weight was perfect.
Bajrang Punia further said that no one wants to believe what happened this morning. I cannot believe 100 grams that this has happened to you. The whole country is unable to stop its tears. Olympic medals of all countries are on one side and your medal is on the other.
Apart from this, boxer Vijender Singh said that there is a conspiracy behind this. He said that this is a big conspiracy against our wrestlers. Apart from this, he said that Vinesh should have been given some time to lose weight. Vijender said that he has never seen this for any athlete before.
The star shuttler wrote that, Vinesh Phogat, you will always be a champion in our eyes. I was desperately hoping that you would win the gold. I spent some time with you at PDCSE and saw that you are a superhuman with a desire to improve. This is inspiring.
Apart from this, Sakshi Malik wrote on X that, my heart is terrified and upset. What Vinesh has done is beyond imagination. This is probably the most devastating incident that has happened to an Indian athlete in this Olympics. We cannot even imagine what she must be going through. If this was possible, I would have given my medal to Vinesh.
