As a result, this decision has eliminated her chance of winning the joint silver medal in women’s 50kg wrestling.

Earlier, Vinesh Phogat secured her place in the gold medal match by defeating Cuba’s Yusneylis Guzman Lopez 5-0 in the semi-finals. However, she was disqualified for being 100 grams over the 50 kg weight limit during the weigh-in on August 7 morning.
