Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, described by Bajrang Punia as the "lioness of India" who was set to "conquer the world but lost to the system," was disqualified from the Paris Olympics due to being overweight by a few grams. Phogat had defeated Yui Susaki and Oksana Livach to reach the semifinals, where she secured a place in the gold medal match. However, the disqualification has dashed her hopes of securing an Olympic medal. Punia's remarks came after her quarterfinal victories, highlighting the contrast between her potential and the unfortunate outcome.
