Paris Olympics 2024: The day of 7th August was quite disappointing for India in Paris Olympics 2024. India missed out on winning two medals in a single day. First, Vinesh Phogat was disqualified due to being 100 grams overweight. After this, Mirabai Chanu finished fourth in weightlifting.
Randeep shared the post
Actor Randeep Hooda is a sports freak. He is watching the Paris Olympics very closely. He is following it every day. Randeep expressed grief over Mirabai not winning a medal. But at the same time, he also consoled Mirabai in his post. Randeep wrote- Mirabai Chanu, you were very close to victory. What you performed was really such that everyone’s breath stopped. You fought like a champion. Your luck was probably not good today. But I hope that you will definitely win a medal for the country in the future.
Mirabai Chanu missed by one kilogram
Mirabai Chanu lifted a total of 199 kg with 88 in snatch and 111 in clean and jerk. Mirabai missed the medal by just one kg. She could not win the medal. She registered her victory at the fourth place. In the first place, China’s current Olympic champion Hou Zhihui secured the first place with an Olympic record in clean and jerk. She lifted a total of 206 kg (snatch 89, clean and jerk 117). Romania’s Valentina Cambei won the silver with 206 (93 and 112) kg and Thailand’s Surodchan Khambo won the bronze medal with 200 (88 and 112) kg.
Let us tell you that on August 7, Vinesh Phogat was disqualified in wrestling. Vinesh created history by becoming the first Indian female wrestler to reach the Olympic final. Till morning, she seemed sure to get at least a silver medal, but her weight was found to be 100 grams more. 29-year-old Vinesh was taken to the polyclinic in Khelgaon as she was dehydrated in the morning. An Indian coach said, ‘Her weight was found to be 100 grams more in the morning. The rules do not allow this and she has been disqualified.’
