PARIS: In a shocking turn of events, Vinesh Phogat was on Wednesday disqualified from the Olympics for being found overweight ahead of her women’s 50kg final here.

Vinesh had scripted history by becoming the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the gold medal bout in the event on Tuesday night.

“She was found overweight by 100gm this morning. The rules do not allow this and she has been disqualified,” said an Indian coach.
