"Vinesh, you are a champion among champions! You are India's pride and an inspiration for each and every Indian. Today's setback hurts. I wish words could express the sense of despair that I am experiencing. At the same time, I know that you epitomise resilience. It has always been your nature to take challenges head on. Come back stronger! We are all rooting for you," PM Modi tweeted on the social media platform 'X' (Formerly Twitter).

Due to this disqualification, Vinesh will not be able to compete for either the gold or silver medals. It is not going to be possible for her to compete. Vinesh was one of India's greatest medal hopes, therefore it is a huge blow for the Indian team since he was a few grams over the allowed weight limit and lost the wrestler's chance to take home a medal.
