Paris Olympics: Vinesh’s Ex-manager Unhappy With Coaching Staff; Wants ‘rethink' On Athlete Management
Paris Olympic Games: Vinesh Phogat's disqualification from the Women's 50kg freestyle wrestling at the Paris Olympic Games should lead to a rethink of how athletes are managed by the federation and coaching staff, says her ex-manager and Olympian Manisha Malhotra.
Vinesh made history on Tuesday by becoming the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the final at the Olympics. But her redemption story following a disappointing performance in the Tokyo Olympics ended in heartbreak as she was disqualified from the competition as she was found overweight in the second weigh-in on the morning of the final. Vinesh was found 100 grams over the limit for 50 kg and thus ruled out the competition and placed last as per United World Wrestling rules.
Following the shocking news, Manisha Malhotra spoke to IANS and revealed she was not happy with the wrestler's coaching staff and believed it is time to have a ‘rethink’ on how athletes are managed in the country.
