Olympics 2024: Wrestler Antim accred cancelled, to be sent back home with her support staff

 

India's wrestling campaign seems to have gone worse from bad. In a shocking development, wrestler Antim Panghal, who bowed out of the 53kg competition after losing her first round bout to her Turkish opponent Zeynep Yetgil on Wednesday, is likely to be sent back home for indiscipline.

 

It is learnt that the 19-year-old wrestler from Haryana left the Games Village soon after her bout and reached a hotel where her coach and sister were staying (the coach accompanied her from the competition venue). She then allegedly asked her sister to bring her belongings from the Village after handing her the Olympic accreditation.

 

“The sister was trying to enter the Village posing as Antim. However, authorities found it out,” a source in the know of developments told this daily. The security team at the Village even called the cops after detaining the sister. The cops then apprised the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) officials of the development. “As the IOA is responsible for the Indian contingent at the Games, their officials have been informed about the developments. Antim and others involved in the incident are expected to be sent back home tonight (Wednesday night),” said the source.

 

"The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) officials spoke to the cops and requested them not detain Antim's sister. They agreed but she was sent back to hotel. All of them have been asked not to venture out of the hotel room," added the source.

 

It is learnt that the IOA is trying to arrange flight ticket for Thursday morning to make sure Antim along with others fly out of Paris as soon as possible. "After the incident, Antim's accreditation has been cancelled. The IOA will also discuss the issue with the Wrestling Federation of India."

 

Another source told this daily that the wrestler went missing from the Village on Tuesday as well. “She was not at the Village on Tuesday. She even missed the evening training session. No wonder despite being World No 4, she lost the first bout to World No 12 wrestler 10-0 (technical superiority),” the source said.

 

Sources also informed that she has requested for return tickets to India for Wednesday for herself and her support staff including coach, physiotherapist and sparring partner along with her sister. However, later she apparently changed the decision and requested for return tickets for Thursday.

 

Indian Olympic Association immediately swung into action after learning about the incident. "The Indian Olympic Association has decided to fly wrestler Antim and her support staff back after a disciplinary breach was brought to IOA’s notice by the French authorities," said the official IOA statement.

 

Bolded part concerns me.

The worries didn't stop there for Antim as her personal support staff Vikas and Bhagat allegedly travelled in an inebriated state in a cab and refused to pay the fare after which the driver called the cops. "We are fighting fire as of now," said an IOA source. "We have a bad situation at hand, our security officer is dealing with the situation," the official source added.

Star culture works in India in all sports look like. Seems a lot of folks were picked on star value rather than form.

Has there ever been a worse 24 hour period for Indian sports.

 

Therr were brutal looses in cricket but this is the first time bambu got inserted from every side. 

 

Phogat lost the medal unexpectedly. Mirabai chanu came 4th. Other hopefuls crashed out. 

 

Then we lost a series to the freaking Lankans after 27 years. 

 

All hopes are on Neeraj and hockey team now
