The Indian Olympic Association President PT Usha informed that the WFI has made an appeal to the United World Wrestling regarding Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from the Paris Olympics. Ulajh star Gulshan Devaiah had a different perspective on Vinesh Phogat’s appeal. The actor opined that the wrestler getting back her silver medal would be unfair to athletes who may have been disqualified for similar reasons.
What Did Gulshan Devaiah Say?
The Ulajh star Gulshan Devaiah took to his Twitter handle to share his opinion on the appeal made in Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from the Paris Olympics. He expressed his wish to have the appeal in Vinesh Phogat’s favour but also added that it would be unfair to the other athletes who have been disqualified under the same circumstance. However, Gulshan further extended his support to the athlete and hoped for the best. The Ulajh actor also expressed his concerns for Vinesh Phogat and his team and how the situation would be devastating for them. He called her a ‘champ’ and ended the tweet with Vande Mataram.
Many Twitter users were not happy with Gulshan Devaiah’s opinion and asked him to mention the names of athletes who had been disqualified under the same circumstance. However, some also called it a justified opinion.
On the other hand, Vinesh Phogat has announced her retirement from wrestling. Her uncle Mahavir Phogat has stated that he will talk to her for some reconsideration and hopes that she competes in the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. We hope that a fair decision is made in Vinesh Phogat’s case. The decision is going to be announced today.
