Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who reached the semifinals of the women's 50 kg freestyle category at the Paris Olympics after notable victories, is likely to be disqualified from the final due to a weight issue. Phogat had earlier defeated Ukraine's Oksana Livach 7-5 and caused a significant upset by beating Japan’s reigning Olympic champion Yui Susaki 3-2. This achievement was particularly notable as Phogat had not won a medal in her two previous Olympic appearances. Her semifinals match against Cuba's Yusneylis Guzman Lopez was scheduled for August 6. Meanwhile, India's Neeraj Chopra topped the qualification in men’s javelin throw with an impressive 89.34m. Phogat's journey has been marked by her resilience, especially after leading a protest against former Wrestling Federation of India head Brij Bhushan Singh Sharan for sexual misconduct.
