    Paris Olympics: Vinesh Phogat Gets Her Redemption, One Bout At A Time

    By IANS News August 06, 2024 • 19:02 PM View: 509
    Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh: As she along with Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik led the protests against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the ousted president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), Vinesh Phogat has become one of the most hated sportspersons in the country, facing online abuse daily from a section of the netizens.

    She was vilified when she raised her voice against some of the moves by the WFI, and she was abused when she came down from 53 kg weight class to 50 kg and participated in two weight categories in the trials seeking guarantees from WFI officials. With the tacit support of the administrators, Vinesh was painted as a villain who was trying to gain favours and a backdoor entry into the team.

    Even her own cousins had turned against Vinesh as a section of the media and netizens went after the two-time Olympian, depicting her as a spent force who is always depending on her past achievements.
