Why Vinesh Phogat should get the silver medal?
Vinesh Phogat was disqualified before the final in the paris Olympics. In this way she had to lose the medal. Actually, after Vinesh Phogat reached the final, the medal was decided, if she had managed to win, she would have got the gold medal and even if she lost, she would have got the silver medal. However, this wrestler had to lose the medal after being disqualified. After this, many well-known personalities gave their reaction on the Vinesh Phogat controversy. Now former indian cricketer sachin tendulkar has given his point of view on the whole controversy.
'Every sport has some rules and those rules...'
sachin tendulkar has written in his post - Every sport has some rules and those rules need to be seen in context, maybe sometimes they should also be reconsidered. Vinesh Phogat qualified for the final fairly, her disqualification on the basis of weight happened before the final. Therefore, it is beyond logic and understanding of the game for her to be stripped of her well-deserved silver medal. Sachin Tendulkar's post is becoming increasingly viral on social media. Apart from this, social media users are constantly giving their reactions by commenting.
'If an athlete is disqualified for ethical violations like use of performance-enhancing drugs...'
The master Blaster further writes that it would be understandable if an athlete was disqualified for ethical violations such as the use of performance-enhancing drugs, in that case it would be appropriate not to be awarded any medal and to be placed last. However, Vinesh defeated her opponents fairly to reach the top two, she certainly deserves a silver medal, we are all waiting for the decision of the sports Arbitration, let us hope and pray that Vinesh gets the recognition she deserves.
