Mom won the wrestling match against me, I lost. Forgive me. Your dream, my courage, all are broken. I don’t have any more strength.
Goodbye wrestling 2001-2024🙏
I will always be indebted to you all. Forgive me.🙏
India’s hopes in the Paris Olympics 2024 suffered a major setback on Wednesday as Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the competition. She was found to be over the 50 kg weight limit. Following this, Vinesh announced her retirement from wrestling. She wrote on social media platform X, “Mother Wrestling has defeated me, I have lost. Forgive me, your dream and my courage have both broken. I have no strength left now. Farewell Wrestling 2001-2024, I will always be indebted to you all. Sorry.”
Vinesh Phogat’s announcement has disappointed Indian sports fans. She was one of India’s leading female wrestlers and had secured many significant victories for the country. Her departure marks a substantial loss for Indian wrestling.
