    She is an Olympics gold medal winner in my books🥳🙏
  • A queen will be queen. VINESH, you are the champion for me. You made me feel proud, you made this country feel proud.
  • @ShinjiIkari007
    2 questions that need answers: 1. Didn't her nutritionist & coaches have the basic IQ level to test her weight before letting the Olympic officials test her weight? 2. If they did weigh her beforehand, why didn't they voluntarily withdraw her from the finals. Make any excuse say she's injured can't play finals & don't let Olympic officials weigh her. That way she would have gotten a silver medal rather than disqualification It seems like they knew everything & purposely let her get disqualified. What kind of abysmal coaching you are doing by starving her & cutting her hair one day before the match. You are putting her life at risk utter mismanagement by support staff what a joke
  • @A-uk4rt
    You know, its really unfair that she was disqualified right on the spot just because she was overweight by 100 grams?! I hope the athlete sees this video and gets hope in her as fans still support her.
  • Such a great comeback for her every setback . We still support you. Nothing stops you
  • The disqualification is intentional and pre planned. I can't even imagine what is she going through. God bless her ...
  • @SAMRAKA7
    She has already won medal 🏅 we don't need some one to certify that ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤So proud of her ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
  • @Minto-tq1kk
    She is currently world no.2 in her weight category by defeating japanese and easily defeating other opponent consecutively.
  • Doesn't matter who win... you are more than gold for our country.... keep going....❤
  • @anandsharma7430
    Technicalities might steal a medal, but they cannot deny your skill, class and consistency. You're still the world's best wrestler in your category! 👍 Your actions outside the arena prove have shown that you are strong and righteous too. The people of India are proud of you, Vinesh and we will always support you. 💯
  • @h.t.3723
    We are all SO proud of you, Vinesh. You've proven your talent already.
  • @kknaksh3896
    Don't worry ma.. We are all with you.. You itself a gold medal for India❤❤❤
  • @LaxiusOne
    The blame completely falls on the 'Jugaad' midset of Indian officials.
  • @Justhuman5563
    She is a champion no matter what happened now...i just want to tell her that she is the best and need not worry ..because you represented india and even came close to winning Gold which only we can think of in our dreams....Don't be hard on yourself now...come back stronger...you already made history...
  • This is quite heart-breaking. I can't imagine the pain of the champion. My question is, what was the job of the medicos and other support staff she traveled with? The way she played, she definitely could have won the gold. What an unfortunate situation.
  • You can land punches on a woman even if you have testosterone levels and body is like a biological male, but a woman can't fight another woman because she is just over 50kg by a 100 gm. Olympics is doing great this year.

  • @logghhhhh
    India team staff in all sports should be highly qualified. that lady who came with vinesh was not even acting professionally.
