माँ कुश्ती मेरे से जीत गई मैं हार गई माफ़ करना आपका सपना मेरी हिम्मत सब टूट चुके इससे ज़्यादा ताक़त नहीं रही अब।
अलविदा कुश्ती 2001-2024
आप सबकी हमेशा ऋणी रहूँगी माफी

Vinesh had made it to the final of the women’s 50 kg bout after much difficulty. She beat the Tokyo 2020 gold medalist in the first bout 3-2, that only paved the way for her to go further in the competition.
As per the UWW rules, a player failing to get their weight under check, won’t win a medal. So that could well mean, that despite being assured of a silver, Vinesh Phogat will not take a medal back home from Paris Olympics.
