Post Vinesh DQ, UWW May Consult Medical Commission

Vinesh Phogat's saga seems to have woken up United World Wrestling (UWW) as the world governing body is expected to consult its medical commission on the rules that led to the disqualification of the Indian wrestler.

Vinesh was found to be overweight by 100 grams during the second weigh-in on the morning of her 50kg final at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Going by the UWW rules, the 29-year-old grappler from Haryana was disqualified which also meant she finished last in her weight category despite reaching the final and being assured of a silver medal a day before the bout.

"I think (Rei) Higuchi told all of it, but we will again consult the medical commission," Nenad Lalovic, the UWW president, told this daily when asked about the Court of Arbitration for Sport decision of dismissing Vinesh's application for a shared silver medal on Wednesday.

ZERO FARMER SUICIDES; DISTRESS STILL REMAINS

TELANGANA has come a long way since its formation in 2014. While development is often measured through indicators such as state gross domestic product, per capita income and soaring skylines, one statistic perhaps reflects the state’s transformation more meaningfully than the skyscrapers rising across Hyderabad—the number of farmer suicides.
