New Delhi, August 17 (HS). Champion wrestler Vinesh Phogat arrived at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi on Saturday after participating in the Paris Olympics, where she was disqualified for being overweight after reaching the 50 kg final. The Indian wrestler started crying as she stepped out of the airport.
London Olympics bronze medallist shooter Gagan Narang, who was the chief de mission of the Indian contingent in Paris, posted a picture with Phogat at the Paris airport, calling her a champion. Both of them were on the same flight to Delhi.
“She came to the Games Village as a champion on day 1 and she will always remain our champion. Sometimes one doesn't need an Olympic medal to inspire millions of dreams… Vinesh Phogat you have inspired generations. Salute to your grit,” Narang posted on X.
He will also be given a grand welcome in his ancestral village Balali in Haryana.
