Vinesh Phogat's Disqualification at the Paris Olympics
Vinesh Phogat of Team India was disqualified from the gold medal match at the Paris Olympics after failing to make weight for the 50-kilogram category final, ending her dream of winning India's first gold medal. The disqualification came despite a successful weigh-in the day before, and despite attempts to cut weight using drastic measures. The disqualification was a shock to many, as Phogat had delivered a string of victories over highly ranked opponents prior to this setback.
