Indian star wrestler Vinesh Phogat has announced her retirement from wrestling. She became the first Indian female wrestler to reach the final of the 50 kg category of the Paris Olympics, but before the final match, she was disqualified due to weight. Frustrated by this, she announced her retirement the very next day. Now Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has reacted to this.

Vinesh Phogat announced her retirement at a time when she missed out on achieving her biggest achievement so far. Indian star wrestler Vinesh Phogat wrote on 'X', "Ma wrestling won over me, I lost, sorry, your dream, my courage are all broken, I have no more strength than this now. Goodbye wrestling 2001-2024." On this post of her, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor wrote, "This girl has been caught by this system, this girl is tired of fighting...#SorryVinesh!"

Prime Minister Modi also expressed grief

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has also shared Vinesh Phogat's photo on social media. Let us tell you that a few hours before the final match in the Paris Olympics, Vinesh Phogat was declared ineligible due to being 100 grams overweight. Prime Minister Modi also expressed grief over Vinesh Phogat's disqualification. He wrote on social media, "Vinesh you are the champion of champions. You are a pride and inspiration for the people of India. Today's shock hurts. I wish words could express the feeling of disappointment that I am experiencing. I know that you will face the challenges bravely, this has been your nature. Come back stronger. We are all with you."

Can she take the decision of retirement back?

At the same time, now the news is also coming out that Vinesh Phogat can withdraw her decision to retire. She will represent India in wrestling again. This information has been given by her uncle and Dronacharya Award winner Mahavir Phogat. This statement of Mahavir Phogat has come at a time when Vinesh Phogat announced to quit wrestling. Mahavir, who came in front of the media for the first time on her decision, said, "When a player plays for the country, he wants to win a medal for the country. Vinesh also went to the Paris Olympics with the same mindset. When she had to be out of the final race due to being overweight, it is natural that anyone's heart breaks." He said, "When she returns home, we will convince her to withdraw her decision to retire. We hope that she will understand our words and withdraw her decision to retire. We will make Vinesh Phogat work hard with the goal of gold in the 2028 Olympics." He said that she has taken the decision to retire on her own. The family has not been asked in this regard.
