Nobody talking about this

Her disqualification owing 100 gm overweight is pending for review in Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), seeking a joint silver medal. Delay from Indian end - The court observed that such a scenario where they want intervention, they should have immediately reached out to Olympics committee and requested postponing of the final bout. - Indian staff and IOA were quick to update condolences on Twitter, but didn't seek redressal. - It happened a day late, when final had already been fixed with the semifinalist who lost to Vinesh. - The grievance seeked was not fight, but joint silver medal for Vinesh Court's response - The panel sympathises with Vinesh on human level - They have ordered changes to be made to the weigh in rule, as they agreed 100gm could be water weight/bloating - They also commented that rules cannot be changed, but will consider if provisions allow - The appeal was made on 8 Aug 2024 (after the final happened), case was to be heard on 9 Aug. They deferred the verdict to 11 Aug (closing day of Olympics), again deferred to 13 Aug 6 pm (today) and now stretched to 16 Aug. - There has been too much media attention on the case, they cannot go wrong here.

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

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?

“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”

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......

Someone is happy

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.
