Vinesh Phogat, who narrowly missed out on a medal at the Paris Olympics 2024 after being disqualified from the Women's 50 kg freestyle event ahead of the gold medal bout because of being overweight at the time of weight-in by 100 grams, celebrated Rakhsha Bandhan with her brother.

While Vinesh tied the Rakhi to her brother Harvinder Phogat, the brother and sister shared a light moment where the sister could be seen joking that the bundle of Rs 500 notes that his brother gave him as a gift is his lifetime earnings which has given to her. Notably, Vinesh returned to India on August 17, receiving a grand welcome at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in New Delhi.

Notably, after her Paris heartbreak, Vinesh had filed an official appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) but her plea was dismissed. She returned to India a day later. It took Vinesh over 12 hours from the IGI Airport to reach her native village of Balali.

I Could Return To Wrestling: Vinesh Phogat

While Vinesh had announced her retirement from wrestling hours after she was barred from featuring in the gold medal bout, after her return to India she has hinted that she could perhaps make a comeback.

"I just want to say that missing the Olympic medal is the biggest wound in my life," Vinesh said after she reached her village late on Saturday (August 18) night as quoted by news agency PTI.

"As I got love from my fellow Indians, my village and my family members, I guess I would get some courage to make this wound heal. Maybe, I could return to wrestling," she added.
