According to a statement released on Monday, the decision was taken after detailed consultations with her support staff and renowned sports medicine specialist Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, following a comprehensive assessment of her rehabilitation and recovery process.
Dr Usha said that each Indian athlete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in such sport had his or her own support team. These support teams have been working with the athletes over so many years, as per a statement from IOA.
Following Vinesh Phogat's disqualification in the 50 kg category final at the Paris Olympics, India's first woman to win an Olympic medal Karnam Malleswari said on Wednesday that it was unfortunate since it was a golden opportunity for the Indian wrestler.
Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) following her disqualification from the 50 kg category final at the Paris Olympics.
Pardiwala said the whole team was awake the whole night trying to reduce Vinesh's weight, and had they got a few hours more, they would have achieved the required weight category.
