    The Indian Olympic Association: Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Bajrang Punia hailed Vinesh Phogat as "a gold medalist of courage and morality" after the Indian grappler got disqualified from the women’s 50 kg event at the Paris Olympics after being weighed a few grams over the permissible limits on Wednesday morning.

    The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) released a statement on Wednesday addressing Vinesh's exit from the Games due to being overweight and asked to respect the privacy of the grappler.

    "Vinesh, you are a gold medalist of courage and morality. You have fought with great courage. Yesterday, when the Olympic officials weighed you before playing, your weight was absolutely perfect. No one wants to believe what happened this morning. 100 grams. I can't believe that this has happened to you. The whole country is unable to hold back its tears. Olympic medals of all countries on one side and your medal on the other," Punia posted on 'X.'
