After the Vinesh Phogat controversy at the Paris Olympics, where she was disqualified for being 100 grams overweight, the united world wrestling body (UWW) might modify its weigh-in rules. The incident sparked widespread debate, with many advocating for a more lenient second-day weigh-in allowance. Vinesh's appeal to participate or receive a joint silver medal was rejected, leading to increased scrutiny of existing policies. UWW sources suggest slight rule changes could be implemented to balance athlete health and competition fairness. The decision on Vinesh's case is expected on August 13, 2024.
