This is the most hurt I've been because of a sport. Nothing even comes close not even 19th nov. I'd be willing to sacrifice another world cup just to see her play the final.
Indian Olympic Association rushed to issue a media statement informing Vinesh’s disqualification without raising any strong objection on the decision.
Had it been any other nation, they would’ve challenged the decision first.
Why can't she at least get silver?
Disqualify from the finals bout, okay, but she reached the finals fair and square.
Why disqualify her for her efforts yesterday?
Karma for exactly what? asking to put a molester in jail? for exercising her democratic right to protest? for demanding safety for young women wrestlers from prying eyes of men? many so called nationalists are happy today & then we wonder why woman suffer everyday in this country
This woman
Was a victim of sexual assault.

Only Vinesh Phogat knows that it was far easier to defeat No. 1 seed, Yui Susaki than to stand up against a sexual predator back home who was getting unprecedented immunity from the top leadership itself.
Not a single BJP supporter wanted Vinesh Phogat to win.
They celebrated when Sikh athlete, who supported farmers protest, lost
They celebrated when Bajrang Punia got suspended
They celebrated when Vinesh lost in semis of 53kg
They are the real Desh ke Gaddar.
- She defeated Olympic gold medalist.
- She defeated Brijbhushan Singh.
- She defeated BJP IT Cell trolls.
- She defeated Narendra Modi's ego.
- She defeated toxic godi Media.
- She defeated everyone who called her Anti national.
