    Paris Olympics: U.S Wrestling Legend Seeks Silver Medal For Vinesh; Proposes Rule Changes To Avoid Such Situations

    WEIGHT ALLOWANCE FOR SECOND DAY: Vinesh Phogat's disqualification from the women's 50 kg competition at the Paris Olympic Games has resonated with Jordan Burroughs, the American freestyle wrestler who won the gold medal in the 2012 Games in London seeking a silver medal for the Indian grappler and suggesting measures to prevent such occurrences in future.

    "Give Vinesh the silver medal," Burroughs urged IOC, pleading the case of the Indian wrestler who was disqualified because she was 100 gm overweight in the morning weigh-ins after gaining weight to replenish the energy lost during three bouts on Tuesday.

    The 36-year-old Burroughs, who holds the record for participating in most Olympic and World Championships in American history, had proposed some path-breaking measures to ensure no wrestler returns home empty-handed despite winning three bouts at the Olympics.
