"And then the news broke of her disqualification. " "These wrestlers who make our country proud were dragged on the streets by the police. " "But cheating was involved.
WFI was the one to cheat. " "And Vinesh, we're family" "She said that she couldn't grive her loss properly, because people were already after her with their daggers. " "Treating me like a non-living thing.
" Hello, friends! There is a line in Dangal's title song. "From the womb to the grave, your story is an inspiration, Dangal Dangal.
" This line fits our great Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat perfectly. From childhood till now, her life has been a struggle. What were the things she had to fight to reach here?
What happened to her in the Paris Olympics? Let's find out the entire story in this video. The people who are against her will be exposed and they will be held accountable for Vinesh's tears.
In this Olympics, Vinesh's first match was again Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Yui Susaki. In Yui's entire career, she lost only 3 bouts. Before this match, her record stood at 82-0.
Many people believed that it was almost impossible to defeat her. The total match lasts 6 minutes with 2 rounds of 3 minutes each. For a long time, in this match, Vinesh kept defending herself but in the last 15 seconds, she surprised Yui Susaki and the match was turned around.
The news of this historic victory went viral on social media. After defeating the world champion, suddenly, Vinesh became the favourite to win the gold medal. In the next quarter-final stage, she defeated the European champion, Oksana Livash by 7-5.
Then in the semi-final, she faced Pan-American Games Champion Yusnevlis Guzman, a Cuban wrestler. With 5-0, Vinesh won this match. And became the first Indian woman wrestler to go to the Olympic final.
Her final match was against American wrestler Sarah Hildebrandt, the bronze medalist from the Tokyo Olympics. In 2019, they faced off in two bouts in 53 kgs category. Vinesh had won both bouts.
Considering this and looking at her momentum, her chance of winning a gold medal was almost sure. But then the next day, there was news of her disqualification. "Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the Paris Olympics.
" "Disqualified on account of being overweight. " She was overweight just by 100 grams, and so she was disqualified. On the first day, she weighed 49.
9 kg. After weighing in, they are allowed a recovery meal to gain some strength and then they drink some water. This rehydration causes some normal weight gain.
They had planned that Vinesh's weight would increase by 1. 5 kg, which can be cut down overnight. And when the second weigh-in happens before the final match, then the weight would be back under 50 kgs.
But there were some problems in the calculation. After the semifinal match, Vinesh's weight was 52. 7 kgs.
The next morning, she was to be weighed at 7. 15 am. She had 12 hours to lose 2.
7 kgs of weight. Because of this, she couldn't sleep at all that night. She didn't drink even a drop of water neither did she eat anything.
She spend the night running, skipping, cycling, went to the sauna, cut her hair and had blood drawn. After all this, she had lost 2. 6 kg.
But by the time it was 7. 15 am, 100 g extra weight remained. If she had a little more time, she would have reduced this weight too.
But the weigh-in time was 7. 15 am to 7. 30 am.
Unfortunately, this could not be possible. "The breaking news right now, Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from Paris Olympics. " The 2012 Olympic gold medalist and 6-time world champion American athlete Jordan Burroughs appealed on Twitter to change the rules and award the silver medal to Vinesh.
This process of reducing weight was so difficult for Vinesh because her natural weight is around 55-56 kg. So it is difficult to bring it down to 50 kgs. Although it is not impossible, neither was it the first time that Vinesh was competing in this category.
In July, she won the gold medal in the Spanish Grand Prix. That was in the 50 kg category. In this category, she won the Olympic quota too.
And why did she compete in this category and not in the category of 53 kgs? The simple reason behind this is the quota for the 53 kg category went to Antim Panghal. We will talk about this in detail later in the video, about the controversy involving Antim.
But after this incident, Vinesh Phogat announced her retirement on Twitter. "Mother, wrestling won over me, I lost. Forgive me, your dream, my courage, everything lies shattered.
I don't have any more strength. Goodbye, wrestling, 2001 - 2024. " After this incident, our Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya took to the Parliament to give an account of ₹7 million was spent on Vinesh.
"For the Paris Olympics, she was given ₹7,045,775 in total. " MrMansukh Mandaviya, should we talk about your spending? There's a new report about the BJP government's spendings in Goa.
A Goan MLA revealed in his state assembly speech that BJP has spent ₹17 million just on catering services. And ₹13. 3 million was spent on five-star hotel stays, ₹43.
2 million for transporting VIPs, and ₹4 million on just sweets. You politicians buy goggles worth hundreds of thousands of rupees. Cars worth millions of rupees.
All with public money. And what do we, the people, get? Broken roads, falling bridges, rail accidents?
And you are talking about the money spent on those players who have dedicated their bodies, minds, and their entire life to wrestling and made our country proud repeatedly. BJP MP Hema Malini also made a casual, insensitive remark. "It feels so strange that because of 100 grams, she was disqualified.
I wish she loses that 100g quickly. But the medal is gone. " On the other hand, on social media many people started making fun of Vinesh.
Blaming her for her defeat. I would like to tell these people to show some empathy. Once you hear Vinesh Phogat's whole story, you may start tearing up.
How many ups and downs and struggles can anyone bear in their career? You will be surprised to see that, her story can be the premise of Dangal part 2. This story begins 30 years ago.
Vinesh was born in Balali, Haryana. She was only 9 years old when her father passed away. Her mother Prem Lata raised her.
She fought cancer as well. And Vinesh repeatedly says that she got courage from her mother. Vinesh was trained by her uncle Mahavir Phogat.
With her sister Priyanka, and her cousins Geeta, Babita, Ritu, and Sangeeta. This was happening in a village where it is still common for women to live behind a veil. People used to taunt that Mahavir has lost his mind.
That he was ruining the village's environment. That he had no shame. That he was making a spectacle of his daughters.
Vinesh's aunt Daya was told that her daughters will become manly. They will look ugly. And no one will marry them.
"My mother would often tell me that people from the village would comment about the way I dressed. That angered me. I'd tell her to bring those people to me.
" The film Dangal, mostly focused on the eldest sister, Geeta's story. She won a gold medal in the 2010 Commonwealth Games. She became the first Indian woman wrestler to achieve this.
After this, when she qualified for 2012 Olympics, she became the first Indian female wrestler to do so. When you see someone around you being successful, it's quite natural to be inspired by them. And so, Vinesh began her winning streak.
At the international level, she started by winning the silver medal in 2013 World Youth Championship. Then a bronze in the 51kg category of 2013 Asian Wrestling Championship, and silver in the Commonwealth Wrestling Championship. But the biggest breakthrough for Vinesh came in the 2014 Commonwealth Games, which took place in Glasgow, Scotland.
In the finals of the 48 kg category, she defeated a British wrestler with 11-8 and won a gold medal in the Commonwealth Games at the age of 20. "Vinesh, congratulations! This was you first Commonwealth Games.
Did you know that you'd be a Commonwealth champion? " "Absolutely, I was confident about it. That's what I wanted.
That's how my coach trained me. " To get to this level of excellence in any field, three things are very important. First, to have a clear goal.
To know exactly what you want to want to achieve. Second, strategic planning towards that goal. To list out the exact day-to-day tasks to help you reach your goal.

The Rio Olympics were held in 2016. There, in the 58 kg category, Sakshi Malik won the Bronze medal. Here, Vinesh Phogat was competing in the 48 kg category.
Her round-of-16 match was against Romania's Emilia Vuc. Such a stunning Olympics debut was nearly unprecedented. Vinesh won her first Olympic match due to technical superiority.
This means that you had pinned your opponent's shoulder blades to the mat, defeating them. Or you have achieved a huge lead. It's 10 points in Freestyle Wrestling.
Vinesh won this match against Emilia by 11-0. When she reached the quarter-final, her match was against China's Sun Yanan. She would have won this match too.
But before she could do that, her fate intervened. During the match, she suffered an injury because of which she had to be carried out on a stretcher. This was an ACL injury, an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear.
The injury was so terrible that she started doubting if she would ever recover from this injury, to wrestle again. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, she said that she would cry. She's fall asleep while crying and then cry again after waking up.
It was an emotionally turbulent time for her. "Those were some difficult times. I didn't know anything except that I was crying myself to sleep and I'd start crying on waking up.
" That year, she won the Arjun Award and she received the award in a wheelchair. In an article in Indian Express, Vinesh said that in 2017, she suffered a concussion. It is a mild traumatic brain injury.
This happens if your head hits something. When her head strikes anything, her vision gets blurred. Had it been anyone else, they would have accepted this as their fate and stopped there.
But Vinesh had something else in her mind. The days of our lives may be numbered, But our ambitions do not have to be limited. After a gap of two years, she made her comeback in wrestling.
In 2018, in Australia, the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games were hosted. It followed a Round-Robin format, in it, wrestlers are put in groups of four and each wrestler has to compete against the other three wrestlers. Vinesh's final match here was with Canada's Jessica MacDonald.
And the way she won this match, a glimpse of that historic match needs to be played right now. The final match of the Commonwealth Games, for a wrestler to win with a 13-3 score, is incredibly amazing. Along with Vinesh, in these games, Vinesh's good friend, Neeraj Chopra, also won a gold medal.
"I was on the bus when Neeraj's match ended. And Neeraj was there with the flag. When you see your friend out there with our tri-coloured flag, both of us had won gold medals, that's a truly amazing feeling.
" Just after the Commonwealth Games, the Asian Games were held in Jakarta, Indonesia. And in the first match there, Vinesh was facing Sun Yanan. The same wrestler Vinesh was competing against in Rio Olympics when she got injured.
Vinesh won this match with a score of 8-2. After winning quarter-final and semi-final matches, in the finals, she faced the Japanese wrestler Yuki Irie. Vinesh defeated her with a score of 6-2 and she became the gold medal winner of the Asian Games.
The first Indian woman wrestler to win a gold medal in the Asian Games. On 21st August, she shared this picture of her victory on Instagram and the next day, on her way back, she shared this picture. She wrote in the caption, that it was the best decision of her life.
And that she was glad to be pinned for life. This is Somveer Rathi. A fellow wrestler and colleague at her railway job.
They had known each other for 7 years, and liked each other. When Vinesh's flight landed at Delhi Airport, Somveer received her and formally proposed to her for marriage. They got engaged immediately and got married in December 2018.
It was a very simple marriage. and they invited only a limited number of people, their family, relatives, fellow players, and coaches. There were no monetary gifts exchanged during the wedding.
But there was something interesting. instead of 7 vows, the two made 8 vows. The extra 8th vow was their promise to love, cherish, and educate any daughters they may have, and to support them when they want to play sports.
The 2019 World Championship took place in Kazakhstan. Here, Vinesh defeated a Greek wrestler and won the bronze medal. Similarly, in the Tokyo Olympics, she secured her place.
Between the Rio Olympics and the Tokyo Olympics, Vinesh had participated in 17 tournaments. And out of these 17, she won a medal in 16 tournaments. 9 gold, 6 silver, and 1 bronze.
But then, fate took another turn. The world was enveloped in the Covid pandemic. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics was postponed for a year so it happened in 2021.
"Japan's Prime Minister announced that he and the International Olympics Committee President have agreed to postpone the games until 2021. " By then, Vinesh was in the 53 kg category, and by this point, not only in India, she had become the wrestling queen of the world. You heard right, she had become the World No.
1 in her weight class. That's why she was being seen as a strong contender to win an Olympic medal. But far from the eyes of the world, she had her own battles.
Two years ago, she was diagnosed with depression. She was in Spain when she felt that something was wrong with her. She couldn't sleep.
She would remain awake for days at a time. When she returned to the Lucknow Camp, things became more problematic. Even her coaches raising their tone, was enough to make her cry.
During the Asian Championship, she felt that this illness would be the end of her. She said that her family members tried to help her, but she couldn't share everything that was troubling her. That's so she consulted a psychologist.
In August 2020, she got COVID, after which her body could not digest protein properly. Think about it, a wrestler's game depends on muscles and protein. In April 2021, when she returned from the Asian Championship, she was diagnosed with COVID-19 again.
After a while, when she recovered and went to Bulgaria, she found out that her entire family had COVID. When something like this happens to a player representing the country, what can be expected from the government, authorities, and the Wrestling Federation of India? That they will find the solutions to the player's problems.
Coaching, counselling, treatment, nutritionist, physiotherapist, whatever they need will be readily available. But here, the matter was something different. "When we told them that we wanted to go to a competition, or said that the sporting staff we had weren't good so we wanted someone else.
Or whatever else. Brij Bhusan wouldn't have time for it. He got irritated by us.
And then he would t0rture the athlete. " We saw an example in the Tokyo Olympics too. Despite requesting repeatedly, Vinesh wasn't given a dedicated physiotherapist.
For a wrestler weight cutting before a match, regaining strength after a bout, and then weight-cutting once more, are the technical aspects. And for these a dedicated physiotherapist is needed. But Vinesh had to rely on the same physiotherapist who was accompanying the shooting team to the Tokyo Olympics.
Unfortunately, she could not help her like a regular physiotherapist would. Vinesh said that on the last day, when she was cutting her weight, was she supposed to explain what happens in wrestling or should she have focused on herself? As a result, she had to be her own physiotherapist.
On the day of her wrestling bout, when she woke up in the morning, she felt pain in her body. She started vomiting. While going to the stadium, she asked her physiotherapist Purnima about what she should do.
Vinesh's first match was against Rio Olympics bronze medalist Sofia Mattson. Vinesh won the match 7-1. But her health was deteriorating.
She felt like vomiting. So she could not eat anything. She took two capsules of salt, but it was of no use.
She did some breathing exercises, but it was of no use. She was not feeling in control and eventually, she started shivering. In the next bout, she realised that she was losing.
Her opponent could score points from such positions, that Vinesh could have normally blocked. Her mind was so blocked that she wasn't able to complete even one takedown. Her mind was blanked out.
This loss broke Vinesh from within. But Brij Bhushan wasn't done yet. WFI accused Vinesh of indiscipline and suspended Vinesh temporarily.
A show-cause notice was issued to her on 3 charges. Accusing her of neither staying nor training with her teammates. And the reason behind this was she did not wear her kit sponsor, Shiv Naresh's jersey, during the match.
Vinesh through senior lawyer Vidushpat Singhania, formally replied to the WFI notice. She said that she was following the quarantine rules and regulations of the IOC and the Japanese government. Before going to Tokyo, she was training in Hungary with her coach Woller Akos.
The Indian contingent was in quarantine for three days. But when she reached there, since she flew there after staying in Hungary, she did not need to go into quarantine. Going there meant increasing the risk of getting COVID.
That's why she stayed with the Indian 4x400 women athletes. And so, she hadn't broken any rules. She mentioned that in every training session, Vinesh wore the official kit of the Indian team's sponsor.
She wore it regularly, but could not get it washed. And before the competition started, she was sick and had vomited, and in the midst of all this, she was unable to ensure whether her official jersey was with her or not. She acknowledged this mistake but it was due to unintentional and incorrect planning.
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh issued a letter in response to her formal response, that the response was not satisfactory, but she was forgiven nonetheless. But any more mistakes and the Wrestling Federation will impose a lifetime ban on her. Vinesh spoke about Simone Biles in her open response in Indian Express.
The 24-year-old American gymnast, who cited mental health to withdraw from an event in the Tokyo Olympics. USA Gymnastics said that they wholeheartedly support Simone's decisions and praised her bravery for prioritising her well-being. Vinesh wrote that we celebrate Simone Biles but can anyone say this in India?
Forget about leaving the event, she asked if anyone could even say that they aren't prepared for an event. She said that she could not even grieve her loss properly because people were coming at her with their daggers. She said that she was treated like a non-living thing.
No one asked her about what she was going through. Rather, everyone was busy passing judgements. Some said that she felt pressured, or whatever they could think of.
But she was the one on the mat, so she must know best about what she felt. Why were people speculating instead of asking her? Every athlete is under pressure.
She acknowledged that she was under pressure in Rio as well as Tokyo. But she knows how to handle pressure. She repeated that she didn't lose because of the pressure.
After this, Vinesh revealed the truth as to how even after her repeated requests, she didn't have her dedicated physiotherapist with her. How sick she was, how she was vomiting, and how, during the second bout, she blanked out. Not only this, WFI made allegations against Vinesh's coach Woller too.
Woller was coaching Vinesh since 2018 and made a huge contribution to her success. Vinesh's concentration, motivation, and technique, was honed because of Akos to a large extent. He had Vinesh practice with wrestlers from different countries so that she could reach the top level.
Similarly, Bajrang Punia's Georgian coach Shako Bentindis and Ravi Dhaiya's Russian coach Kamal Malikov, have also contributed a lot to their success. But for some reason, WFI has problems with foreign coaches. It was alleged that Akos was training his wife Mariana Sustin with Vinesh.
Vinesh said that Mariana is a four-time Olympian and she has helped Vinesh with her training. But during the Covid pandemic, Akos left his one-year-old son in Hungary and came to Lucknow solely to help Vinesh. He didn't even care about his personal life while training Vinesh.
So how could anyone blame him? For 3 years, with this coach and physiotherapist, she won so many medals. But do you know what's interesting here?
Foreign coaches like Woller Akos and Shako were roped in by sports NGOs. NGOs like Olympic Gold Quest and JSW. The question is why did WFI have a problem with this?
They told the NGOs to stop their interference. Because they were "spoiling" our wrestlers. And that WFI can take care of its own athletes.
But if this is the case, then why was Vinesh not given a dedicated physiotherapist in the Tokyo Olympics? Why did WIFI not hire good coaches? They won't take any initiatives, and if any sports NGO tries to help our wrestlers, they will not let them do it.
In November 2021, JSW and OGQ, these two NGOs were forced if they wanted to enter into any contract with the wrestlers, WFI must be involved before that. The same WFI whose chief was Brij Bhushan Singh at that time. During this time, WFI made a very controversial change in its policy.
even after a wrestler wins an Olympic quota, they can still be called for trial. It includes a strange condition too. That the trial will be held only if WFI feels it necessary, or else, it can be skipped.
It shows that these politicians want total control over our athletes. They want to control every aspect. WFI's nonsense continued like this.
During the 2021 national trials for the World Championship, Vinesh had to withdraw in between. It was revealed that she suffered an elbow injury and had to undergo surgery. After this, she shared this photo on social media and wrote, "Elbow surgery done!
No matter how many times I fall, I will still rise. " And once again, Vinesh Phogat rose. And she won another gold medal.
In the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games, Vinesh won her third Commonwealth gold medal. Gold in 2014, 2018, and in 2022. She won gold medals in 3 consecutive Commonwealth games.
After that, she won a bronze medal in the World Championship held in Belgrade. But amidst all these things, the public's anger towards Brij Bhushan started to increase. In 2023, allegations of s€xual misconduct against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh were raised.
"When Brij Bhusan travelled for any international competition, he got rooms on the floor that the female athelets would stay. He'd mentally torture these girls. He'd try to call the girls to his room.
He'd want to meet them one-on-one. " Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, and Sakshi Malik led the protest. Merely for lodging an FIR, these wrestlers had to protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar.
Vinesh said that she wanted to improve wrestling in India even if it costs her the game. These wrestlers who have worked so hard for our country were dragged on the streets by the police. These photos will remain in the pages of history, there is hardly any other country in the world where the police of their own country was seen treating the gold medalists like this.
To rub salt on injury, our, credit-greedy, honourable PM MrNarendra Modi, chose to remain silent. Why am I saying that he is greedy for credit? because whenever our sports players win a medal, he immediately calls them.
He is the first to congratulate them for his own publicity. But when the players actually need him, he chooses to remain silent. The amazing thing is that he used to call Vinesh Phogat his family when she was winning so many medals.
"And Vinesh, we're family. " But during the wrestlers' protest, he remained silent because Back then, Brij Bhushan was a BJP MP and now his son, Karan Bhushan Singh is a BJP MP. In the 2024 elections, this is how Narendra Modi supported the wrestlers.
By giving the election ticket to Brij Bhushan Singh's son. During these protests, a large-scale propaganda campaign was launched against these wrestlers. Usually, a media trial, is against the accused.
But here, the media trial was against the victims. Numerous lies were spread against them. AI was used to morph their faces, to show that they were laughing while protesting.
To defame Vinesh, Sakshi, and Bajrang, their IT cell did not leave any stone unturned. I made a separate video on this. This one here.
If you haven't seen it, the link will be in the description. These so-called blind believers of BJP, I want to ask them a question. Suppose a child from your family goes to study somewhere.
And one day, you find out that the owner of the coaching centre had 38 cases against him at one time. 17 cases in Ayodhya, 12 cases in Faizabad, 8 cases in Nawabganj and 1 in Delhi. Cases were registered under various IPC sections.
Like mu₹der, attempt to mu₹der, Arms Act, as well as the UP Gangsters Act. You find out that the owner of this coaching centre acknowledged mu₹dering someone on camera. And then you find out that there are allegations of s€xual harassment as well.
I would like to ask you, will you still send your child to such a coaching centre? Or will you still say that it is not a big deal, and that these are merely accusations, and no charges have been proved in the court yet. And, since the owner is a BJP supporter like you, so it's okay.
Think about it. Place yourself in that position. If you don't want to send your kids to such a coaching centre, how can you expect our wrestlers to work under such a WFI chief?
The wrestlers who go there, male or female, they're someone's kids too. Where was the Ministry of Women and Child Affairs? Where was the National Commission for Women?
It is the failure of the entire government system that such a man was allowed to continue in such a position. Later, when the elections were held, Brij Bhushan's proxy, Sanjay Singh, became WFI President. In protest, Sakshi Malik announced her retirement.
"I am quiting wrestling. After today, you won't see me wrestle. " Later, Sakshi Malik was included in Time magazine's list of the World's 100 most influential people.
But coming back to Vinesh Phogat's story, on one hand, while there was politics, and Vinesh was trying to make a safe space for herself in wrestling; on the other hand, in August 2023, during a training session, she injured her left knee. There was a complete tear in the anterior cruciate ligament, along with a partial tear in the lateral collateral ligament. She said that her dream was to retain the gold medal from the 2018 Asian Games, but now, her participation was not possible.
The doctors recommended surgery. She could not participate in the Asian Games in Guangzhou due to her injury. Instead, Antim Panghal won the bronze medal in the 53 kg category.
Later, she won the bronze medal in the World Championship as well. And so, she secured her quota for the Paris Olympics, in the 53 kg category. Here, it's important to mention that sympathy for Vinesh should not turn into hatred for Antim.
Admittedly, she lost her first bout in the Olympics by 10-0. but in sports, winning and losing are parts of the game. Her coach Vikas said that Antim securing the quota for the Paris Olympics in 53 kg was not by cheating.
And friends, that's true. But some cheating was involved. WFI was the one to cheat.
First, they made a rule that the quota winners will have to go through trials. The Ad Hoc Committee had assured that there will be a trial for the quota but on 21st May they suddenly announced that there will be no trial. On top of that, look at their nonsense.
They said that it is a one-time-only exemption. And not a precedent for the future. By this time, Sanjay Singh had become WFI's President.
Had there been trials, Antim would have faced bouts with Vinesh and the other three wrestlers. Because during March, when the trials were being held in Patiala's National Institute of Sport Vinesh finished in the top 4 in the 53 kg category. Had there been trials, Vinesh might have defeated Antim and competed in the 53 kg category in the Paris Olympics.
But WFI took away this opportunity from Vinesh and Vinesh was sceptical since then Since then, Vinesh doubted that WFI's words cannot be trusted. They may skip quota trials every time. That is why, Vinesh Phogat made a bold decision.
In these trials in Patiala, not only did she compete in the 53 kg category, but also in the 50 kg category. She competed in two categories, so that she could not be robbed of her chance to go to the Paris Olympics. Kangana Ranaut, our country's well-known troll, I hope she is watching this video.
She wrote on her Instagram story that despite the protests by Vinesh, Modi gave her a chance. Kangana, this is wrestling. Here, chances are not given.
Everyone has to fight for a chance. During the Asian Wrestling Olympic qualifiers held in Kyrgyzstan in April, Vinesh competed in the 50 kg category there and due to her spectacular performance, secured her quota. Had Vinesh waited for the 53kg category quota trials, or had she trusted WFI, she wouldn't have reached the Paris Olympics.
Sanjay Singh should be asked why did he prevent the quota trials just this once? Was it because of the enmity with Vinesh Phogat and to prevent her from competing in the 53 kg category? Or was there some other reason?
The answers to these questions are necessary. There needs to be transparency in WFI's rules and regulations. Time and again we hear that sportspersons do not get proper facilities.
We need solutions to these. Vinesh Phogat kept moving forward despite everything. She tried to make Indian wrestling a safe space.
She won numerous medals in the world of international wrestling, and no one can take that away from her. Vinesh Phogat's name will be written in history. Our future male and female sportspersons will always take inspiration from her.
Even if she could not win the gold medal in the Paris Olympics, but because of her inspirational story, she won the hearts of fellow Indians. She has won something more precious that a gold medal. For the next innings in her life, we send her best wishes.
And I would like to say one more thing here, I have a request to Vinesh Phogat, once you have become a big celebrity, please don't promote unhealthy sugar-loaded products like other celebrities. Everything you do, be sure of it. And if you want to master your time, use the link to the Time Management Course in the description.
Or you can scan this QR code. Use the coupon code GOAL44 And if you liked this video, you will like this one too, in which I share the story of another Olympic champion. Thank you very much!
