In addition to being India’s only three -time World Championship women medalist, Asian Sports Champion, the Paris managed to run a dream in the Olympics, before her medal was cut in march after a weight of 100 grams weighing a scale of 50 kg. This was a cruel end for one of India’s finest performances in Paris, which saw him reaching the final to be held on 2 days. Although he was disqualified for the medal, Vinesh defeated Japanese Jugrant Sui Susaki and scored one of the biggest upsets of the game.
As a result of intensive hungry and dehydration overnight, her weight did not lose on the second day, but all the people of India were encouraging their greatest female wrestler to go to the finals, where she could struggle to sleep, and an assurance was silver.
The latter disqualification gave him and the nation the cost of a big medal because India returned from Paris without sleeping. However, CM Saini, not a leader of the state legislature, tweeted that Vinesh would be treated with great respect.
Vinesh later retired from the game, and won the state assembly elections from Julna constituency under the Congress ticket.
When the subject was placed on the floor of the House, Saini replied in the cabinet by discussing the case and declared that Vinesh would be increased as a medal winner, and could choose his choice as a reward.
