Star wrestler Vinesh Phogat stirred controversy at the wrestling trials in Patiala, where she refused to let the competition commence in the women's 50kg and 53kg categories, demanding written assurances for her participation. With hopes of securing a spot in the Paris Olympics 2024, Phogat insisted on a guarantee from authorities that a final trial would be conducted in the 53kg weight class before the Olympics, despite her initial intention to compete in the 50kg trials.
Phogat's actions led to a delay of approximately 2.5 hours as she sought permission to participate in both the 50kg and 53kg trials, highlighting the complexity of the situation. The 29-year-old wrestler, who had previously accused former WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment, maintained her stance, emphasizing her determination to secure a place in the Olympics amidst evolving circumstances.
