Vinesh Phogat Breaks Down in Tears as She Returns to India


Indian star wrestler Vinesh Phogat returned to India from Paris today, landing at Delhi's international airport. She was greeted with a warm welcome by fans and supporters. Vinesh, who faced disqualification from the Paris Olympics due to being 100 grams overweight in the 50 kg category, was deeply moved by the overwhelming support she received. The disqualification just moments before the final left the entire nation disappointed.

Vinesh sought justice by appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), but her petition was unexpectedly dismissed on the night of the 14th, just two days before the scheduled verdict. This abrupt decision, delivered in a single-line order without explanation, stunned Indian sports fans and garnered widespread support for Vinesh from fellow athletes.

As she arrived in India for the first time since the incident, a large number of supporters gathered at the airport to welcome her. Overwhelmed by their support, Vinesh broke down in tears, and fellow wrestlers like Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia comforted her during this emotional moment.
