PR Sreejesh, who recently announced his retirement from the Indian men`s hockey team hailed wrestler Vinesh Phogat for her resilience and composure. He said she showed great courage after the incident that happened with her and was laughing when they met on Saturday.
Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the finals of the women`s 50kg category at the Paris Olympics 2024 due to being overweight by 100 grams. Following this, she appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) that she should be awarded a joint silver medal. The decision on the appeal is yet to be announced.
