Vinesh Phogat receives grand welcome at Delhi airport

Ace wrestler Vinesh Phogat arrived at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport this morning following her heartbreaking disqualification from Paris Olympics 50kg gold medal match.

She was disqualified for being 100 grams overweight before the Women’s 50kg final bout.

Vinesh had to stay back in Paris as she had appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport- CAS, for a joint silver medal. Her appeal was eventually dismissed.

Upon her arrival in New Delhi, Vinesh received a grand welcome from the fans, who had gathered at the airport hours before her arrivals. Vinesh’s family members and relatives were also present outside the airport to welcome her.
