Vinesh's husband stays mum on wrestler's retirement says no support' from WFI - Agency Report

Vinesh Phogat’s husband Somvir Rathee refrained herself from commenting on the wrestler’s sudden retirement after her disqualification from the finals of women’s 50kg wrestling at Paris Olympics. Notably, Vinesh was found 100 grams heavier than the permissible limit of 50kg on the morning of her final game against USA’s Sarah Hildebrandt.

Hence, the wrestler was unfortunately disqualified from the summit clash and was pushed to the last spot in the event for failing at weigh in. Gutted with the events, Phogat announced her sudden retirement from the game. Being asked whether there’s any possibility of the wrestler reversing her decision, Rathee said he won’t be able to say much on that and mentioned lack of support from the WFI (Wrestling Federation of India).
