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.
Awful! pic.twitter.com/GcyBMlVY3p
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.
NO! NO! NO!
