wrestler is disqualified from gold medal match
Despite being disqualified from the gold medal match just hours after she made Olympic history, Vinesh Phogat is still being hailed by many online for her bravery and resilience. The wrestler from Team India, who on Tuesday became the first woman from her country to make the Olympic finals, will not be participating in the women’s wrestling 50kg gold-medal match due to being "a few grams" over the weight class, according to the Indian Olympic Association. Many social media users expressed disappointment over the ruling but found solace in Phogat's impassioned activism against sexual harassment in her sport, including making major allegations against the former president of the Wrestling Federation of India.
