Vinesh disqualification: No two-day weigh-in system in country, despite UWW’s 2017 rule

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification seems to have had a ripple effect on the Indian contingent at the ongoing Paris Olympics. While Vinesh made it to the 50kg final only to be rendered ineligible for being 100 grams overweight, her junior counterpart, Antim Panghal, lost her 1/8 bout against Zeynep Yetgil of Turkey in the 53kg category by technical superiority in just 1.41 minutes on Wednesday. The 19-year-old wrestler was said to be overweight by 200 grams at the time of the weigh-in, despite starving since Tuesday evening. Former wrestler and ex-national women’s team coach Kripashankar Patel raised a similar issue back in 2017 when the United World Wrestling introduced the two-day weigh-in system with a concession of two kilograms on the second day.
