Disqualified and Disheartened: Vinesh Phogat and India's Olympic Reality
I checked once and then again and then again and then once again, but I still couldn't come to terms with the fact that Vinesh Phogat had been disqualified. Having been one of the few bright spots for India at the Olympics, when she qualified for the final after many Indian athletes endured painful heartbreaks at the event, she too was disqualified at the end for failing to maintain her weight during the weigh-in. India, a country with a population of more than 1 billion, is going to end another Olympics with less than 10 medals again. Leave aside the talk about the leaders in the Olympics like the USA, China, and France… even countries like Romania, Croatia, and Hong Kong with very small populations would consider their Olympic result a failure if they had the same medal count as India.
