Former Indian hockey goalkeeper PR Sreejesh praised wrestler Vinesh Phogat, saying she "hid her pain behind a smile" after being disqualified from the Paris Olympics due to a 100-gram weight discrepancy. Sreejesh, who met Vinesh before his bronze medal match, described her as a "real fighter." Vinesh, the first Indian woman to reach an Olympic wrestling final, faced heartbreak when she was disqualified just before the gold medal bout. Sreejesh believes her situation is a lesson for all athletes on the importance of adhering to Olympic rules and regulations.
