FACTS:
- When you try to reach an unnatural body weight by starving and dehydrating yourself, your body will naturally resist and try to reach your normal weight.
- Phogat just barely managed to reach her qualifying weight before the weigh in in the semis. Nikhil Naz (India Today reporter) said that she specifically told him after the fight that she was worried about her weight and she looked worried—so this was clearly a concern at the outset.
- Phogat LOST the qualifier for her normal weight category and arm twisted her way into this category
Wrestlers are not gods and one our star medalists is in prison for murder. Just compare the attitude of the entire wrestling gang with the humility and sweetness of Manu Bhaker.
100G. is nothing, and that too after winning it became an issue.
First put yourself in her situation, where after facing so much cruelty by this brain dead govt. ( check Delhi HC judgment on Brijbhushan), and the pressure a female wrestler go through after this much criticism where she herself is not at fault.
Moreover, this was her last match, and making getting only 60kg for a female body at this age is not easy. Are you serious 100G????
Itna to kapdo me hota hoga.
The signs are clear: this disqualification is being politicized unnecessarily. This isn't to diminish the genuine concerns that exist against the federation and government regarding women's safety and rights. Yet, opportunists like Rajdeep Sardesai and Gopal Shanks are already spinning this into their monsoon political spectacle on prime-time television.
Consider this: if India's 🇮🇳victory comes at the expense of the rule of law, it compromises her integrity and standing on the global stage.
