In what comes as a huge disappointment for India, medal hopeful Vinesh Phogat was, on Wednesday, disqualified from the Olympics as she was found overweight ahead of the women's 50kg wrestling finals.

"She was found overweight by 100gm this morning. The rules do not allow this and she has been disqualified," said an Indian coach.

Vinesh Phogat had scripted history by becoming the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the gold medal bout in the event on Tuesday night.
