Stupid organization @Olympics

Why can't you check weight before start of each match and then begin a match.

You let her fight until semifinals and reach finals n now you find her she is overweight by godsake 100 grams.

Crashing hope of entire nation.

Truly heart breaking news about Vinesh Phogat.
Can not imagine a more unusual reason to be out of the Olympics.
She deserved a medal.
What a fighter!

Yesterday we missed a goal by inches, today a medal by grams.
