Breaking News: What is weigh-in wrestling that disqualified Vinesh Phogat and cost India a historic Olympic medal? See More👇👇…

According to international wrestling competition rules reserved by the parent body, United World Wrestling (UWW), if a wrestler fails the weigh-in test before the competition, he/she is immediately disqualified and given the last spot.

That means Vinesh won’t be eligible for any medal despite reaching the finals of the event. She would have won silver even if she had lost the final.

The UWW technical delegate said the repechage round between Japanese Yui Susako and Ukrainian Oksana Livach will become the bronze medal match. “Vinesh failed [the] second-day weigh-in.

According to article 11 of the International Wrestling Rules, Vinesh will be replaced by the wrestler who lost against her in the semi-final,” the delegate said in a statement.

“Therefore, Guzman Lopez Yusneylis will compete in the final. Repechage Susaki Yui vs Livach Oksana will become a bronze medal match.”
