This is so unfortunate. So many 4th place finishes in this Olympics and now this disqualification. News reports suggest that her normal body weight is 55-57kg. Reducing it to be under 50kg while trying to retain most of her strength is extremely challenging. If you see the picture of her semifinal result, you can clearly see that she looks much weightier than her opponent, so it was quite unfair to her opponents if she was attempting such drastic measures to qualify in this weight category. I understand all wrestlers do this but it should be within reason. Vinesh and her team are entirely to blame, IOA or any official can't do anything about this.

 

This campaign has been extremely disappointing. We have failed when in contention for medal spots or in this case, we attempted extreme measures to gain an unfair advantage. Unfortunate. Hope Neeraj Chopra can salvage it now a bit.

News report is saying she was 1.5 kgs overweight. That seems more believable than 100 grams.

I take a dump in the morning and can lose 453.592 gms. She should have done that. 100-140 gms over the tolerance of 100 gms is what makes better sense.

Doctor saying 100 grams over. 

She may have gained extra 2 kgs after her last game -- This is usual for such low weight categories.

They go through weight loss before the weighing, she might have cut-down 1-1.5 kgs and then would have struggled to lose extra 200 gm.

 

She was a 53kg category but this time she played 50 kg so here natural weight would be 53 kgs so such a surge in the wight so quick,

56 to 50 is nothing. Mma and elite men's wrestlers in weight classes above 74 cut 15 to 25 lbs. So between 8 to 12 13 kgs.

Both sides are taking advantage of it .. I Guess Haryana elections are near so that could be a big factor.

Yesterday anti-Modi had a field day, Bajran went on all TV channels and was giving belt treatment to all godi media. Memes about Modi waiting to call Phogat and she not picking his calls. Satish Acharya even had a cartoon over it. 
 

What is the mood today? Who gets the blame of this clusterfcuk?

Even 53kg for her was after weight loss for the tournament. Reports suggest her normal weight is 55-57kg.

It is not so easy for lower weight categories. At those levels, they don't have much water weight. If it was so easy, she would have competed in 50kg in the past too. That was not the case.

yes its mostly the case , they only cut down before the weighing, that too mostly the food they had and water retention.

Again 100 grams over the tolerance limit or 100 grams over 50 kgs was vague or I didn’t understand from that video. Was she 51.5 + 100 gms or was she 50 + 100 gms.

Sportstar says 150 gms overweight. This is so bad. Stealing food from an impoverished kid

she was 2 kg over as she ate and drank extra water after her bouts on that day.  she tried losing that weight whole night, but came short of 100 g as there was not time to do that and she had to weigh.

they have to be under weight category only when they are weighing them, then if they are few gm over that weight they are given extra 30 mins (in non final games) or 15 mins (final game) to see if they can come under threshold.
