Indian women’s wrestler Vinesh Phogat has been hospitalized following her disqualification from the Paris 2024 Olympics due to exceeding the weight limit. Phogat, who was disqualified on the 12th day of the Games, has been admitted for dehydration.
Phogat’s disqualification occurred during the weigh-in for the gold medal match on Wednesday morning, where she was found to be 100 grams over the 50 kg weight limit. This unexpected turn of events dashed her hopes of securing an Olympic medal.

Following the disqualification and her hospitalization, PT Usha and a team of Indian officials are en route to the hospital to offer their support. This development was confirmed by a journalist from the Chandigarh Institute of Jagran New Media.
