Following Vinesh Phogat's disqualification from the Paris Olympics for being overweight by 100 grams before her gold medal match, Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) President Sanjay Singh has called for accountability among her support staff. Singh expressed that the oversight was unacceptable and emphasized that Vinesh was performing exceptionally well, blaming the coaches, physios, and nutritionists for failing to monitor her weight. The disqualification shocked the Indian contingent and has led to an investigation request, with Singh urging the Indian government to take strict action against those responsible. Vinesh's personal coach, Woller Akos, has been credited with significant improvements in her performance since 2018, yet this incident has raised questions about oversight and responsibility. The implications of this disqualification are profound, as Singh noted it has let down the expectations of 1.4 billion people in India. The match that was supposed to feature Vinesh will now see Cuban wrestler Guzman Lopez Yusnelis compete against American Sarah Hildebrandt for the gold medal.
