What? You think this is planned conspiracy?

Consultant

I feel we’ve lot more to uncover around the disqualification news.   Many invisible and powerful hands at play at IOC.  Hope she doesn’t give up wrestling and wins medal in next Olympics 🙌

Invisible hand at play. Feels like a personal loss

Invisible hand at play. Feels like a personal loss- Grapevine

It is sad that she had to lose out on a confirmed medal like this
But she was aware and possibly did everything in her control

Unpopular Opinion: If India's opponent was 100gm overweight, we would have rooted for her disqualification as per rules

Founder

How can the wrestler not be aware of the high weight ?
What diet does she take after her semifinal?
Did her coach take any precautions? Or is he aware?
So many questions......

Conspiracy against Vinesh Phogat!

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Do you also think the government might be involved in this?

Vignesh Phogat disqualified from olympics

Software Engineer

Heartbreak for me personally as I was (and still am) super proud of what she had achieved provided the treatment that she got during the wrestler’s protest.

A conspiracy maybe?

Vinesh Phogat disqualified!

“Look at the resilience, she has had a tough year with protests in her country, she was seen crying on streets but none of that came in her way today, she fought like a warrior”

Vinesh Phogat takes down the World no. 1 and Tokyo Olympic gold medallist

Tragic

Never thought gender can be so confusing, something known as DSD- She appears to have a condition known as differences of sex development

Can someone explain what's going on with this

Associate Product Manager

I have seen almost every event this olympics live or through highlights. Heck I saw even the qualifiers for all our athletes. 

What happened truly bums me out. The several 4th place finishes. What happened with Vinesh Phogat. And then Neeraj being unable to win gold (we should not expect a gold from someone twice, he is already a legend). 

But the heart wants more (yeh dil maange more). 

A) I don't want to say it's our athletes. Suddenly everyone is spreading that narrative, that they don't have a winning mentality. Look. One athlete may not have it. But several? This is their fucking lives. If you were in their position, would you not try your hardest? So aren't they trying their hardest? 

B) I don't nearly know enough to blame it on our government or our facilities. Sure, they would suck. But it hurts to see Pakistan and North Korea above us. So I won't take the resources argument.

C) The truth is. In a nation of 1.4 billion, we produced 0 golds. China in a similar economic condition (1990s) used to get 20-30 medals easy. 

It's us. All of us. Let's focus on sports. We have got to do better. I am not a parent today, I will be tomorrow. 
I promise to:
- Encourage my kids to take up sports, and support them fully through it if they want to 
- Not be that society uncle who keeps the football when it goes near them

We can only do our part. Cheers.

🇮🇳 Day 4 Olympics Roundup - July 30

Harvard CS graduate leaves top VC firm job to win Olympic Gold.

- The International Olympic Committee (IOC) defended its decision to allow two previously disqualified boxers to compete in Paris, citing 'misleading information' as the cause of the escalating row.
- Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting were barred from last year’s world championships but cleared by the IOC to compete in the Olympics, drawing criticism from Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
- The International Boxing Association (IBA), which disqualified the athletes, was suspended by the IOC in 2019 over concerns about its governance, and the IOC has since taken interim authority over Olympic boxing.
- The IOC stated that the athletes were 'victims of a sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA' and criticized the IBA for not following proper procedures.
- The row has intensified concerns about the fairness and integrity of the competition, with Italy’s Prime Minister and the IBA both voicing strong opinions on the matter.

Olympics Chiefs Blame ‘Misleading Information’ for Women’s Boxing Row

Sports Today picks India's Top 10 sporting moments. What will you add or remove?

A year of protest against the federation chief.
Slept on pavements for 40 days.
Was beaten, dragged by the police.
Nearly immersed all her medals in the Ganga. 
Underwent knee surgery.
Sealed her Olympic spot after an unforgiving qualification process. 
Became the 1st Indian woman wrestler to qualify for three successive Olympics. 

I hope she wins 🥇 and that would a tight slap in the ruling govt, news channels and all the bhakts who said these wrestlers were doing drama. 

What’s more interesting is to see how the PM calls her to congratulate after not having ever spoken on the protest.

Rooting for Vinesh to Win Gold 🥇 🤞

Worst Olympics for India.

- Manu Bhaker finished 4th. 
- Arjun Babuta finished 4th. 
- Dhiraj & Ankita finished 4th. 
- Anant Jeet & Maheshwari finished 4th. 
- Lakshya Sen finished 4th.
- Mirabhai Chanu finished 4th. 

Terribly sad
