Vinesh an inspiration for younger generation, says Indian diaspora in Singapore
SINGAPORE: The Indian diaspora in Singapore, who sent Vinesh Phogat their best wishes for her courageous wrestling bouts to reach the final of the 50-kg event at the Paris Olympics, said she is an inspiration to Indians around the world for her achievements.
“She deserved at least a silver medal. But I am happy to note that she is an inspiration to the younger generation to work hard and excel in sports,” said Bhojpuri Association of Singapore President Neeraj Chaturvedi, who was among the Indian diaspora at the High Commission in Chancery on Thursday to celebrate India’s 78th Independence Day.
"Vinesh should not give up wrestling," said Chaturvedi as the Court of Arbitration for Sports rejected Phogat’s appeal for at least a silver medal.
