What did sakshi Malik say about Vinesh Phogat?
There is hardly any person more sad than Vinesh Phogat at this time. When you are disqualified after coming so close to the gold medal in the world's biggest sports competition, then there is no limit to such sorrow. Vinesh has been disqualified as her weight was found to be 100 grams more. Now 2016 Rio olympics bronze medalist sakshi Malik and 2020 Tokyo olympics bronze medalist Bajrang Punia have given a statement on this subject.
sakshi Malik has shared a picture on X, in which it is clearly visible that Vinesh is in a bad condition due to crying. Her eyes are swollen and indian Olympic Association (IOA) President PT usha is standing beside her to console her. sakshi wrote in the caption of her post, "At least give Vinesh the silver medal." On the other hand, Bajrang Punia has also demanded that Vinesh deserves at least a silver medal.
Boxer Vijender Singh has claimed conspiracy
Earlier, Vijender Singh, who won bronze medal for india in boxing in 2008 beijing olympics, had also given a statement on Vinesh Phogat's disqualification. Vijender has clearly said that excluding Vinesh above 100 grams could be a conspiracy. Vijender says that athletes can lose 5-6 kg in a single night and athletes know how to control their thirst and hunger. He also alleged that the direct meaning of conspiracy could be that some people in india do not like that india is progressing in sports.
