It proved to be a tale of so near and yet so far for Vinesh Phogat on a sombre Wednesday in Paris. The 29-year-old wrestler with roots in Haryana was in red-hot form and seemingly (appearing to be something, especially when this is not true)<\/strong> the force was with her in the women\u2019s 50kg segment. However, hours before the summit clash against Sarah Ann Hildebrandt of the United States, Vinesh\u2019s Olympic dreams of winning a gold fizzled out. In the acutely razor-sharp lines that distinguish (to notice or understand the difference between two things, or to make one person or thing seem different from another)<\/strong> weight categories especially in combat sport, India\u2019s ace wrestler (a person who wrestles as a sport) <\/strong>was found to be 100 grams above the stipulated 50kg at the 7.15 a.m. mandatory weigh-in before the final bout. This was heartbreak of the extreme kind for the athlete and the funereal (Suitable for a funeral)<\/strong> effect rippled through an expectant nation hoping for a gold or at least a silver. Having weighed 49.90kg on Tuesday morning, Vinesh acquired a massive halo through the day, toppling defending(to protect someone or something against attack or criticism<\/strong>) <\/strong>champion Yui Susaki of Japan and eventually getting past Cuba\u2019s Yusneylis Guzman Lopez in the semifinal. At the mixed media zone, Vinesh waved to the scribes but refrained from having a chat. The alarm bells, though, were ringing loud and clear within the Indian contingent (a group of people representing an organization or country, or a part of a military force)<\/strong> as Vinesh and her support staff were conscious about her latest weight being 52.7kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ensuing night was all about pursuing a crash course in losing extra kilos. Extreme measures such as starvation (The state of having no food for a long period, often causing death),<\/strong> water being ignored, frenetic exercises and induced nausea were all attempted. Even insomnia (the condition of being unable to sleep, over a period of time) <\/strong>occurred and still the weighing machine did not budge on Wednesday morning. With an original body weight of around 55kg, it was extraordinary that Vinesh even attempted to compete in the 50kg bout after finding her regular 53kg category spot resting with the emerging Antim Panghal. The United World Wrestling, the sport\u2019s governing body, is clear about the rules pertaining to body weight: if an athlete fails the weigh-in, he or she will be eliminated from the competition and ranked last. In the larger scheme, Vinesh\u2019s charge towards the victor\u2019s podium, even if it culminated (If an event or series of events culminates in something, it ends with it, having developed until it reaches this point<\/strong>) <\/strong>in despair, was seen as a metaphor for a larger battle that she and other wrestlers waged against the former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The allegations (a statement, made without giving proof, that someone has done something wrong or illegal) <\/strong>of sexual harassment centred around Brij Bhushan cleaved India\u2019s sporting heart; but an administrative system leaning on patriarchy, rebuffed the wrestlers before attempting a belated clean-up. Seen through that prism, the overwhelming angst over Vinesh\u2019s exit is understandable. Rules are sacrosanct, and Vinesh found herself at the wrong end and her retirement announcement has left Indian sport poorer, while she still awaits the verdict of the authorities over her appeal for a joint silver medal consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Upskill yourself and enhance your vocabulary knowledge.
