Geeta Phogat On Vinesh Phogat: 

Wrestler Vinesh Phogat reached the finals in Paris Olympics, but still came out empty handed. Vinesh Phogat failed to win the medal as the Indian wrestler was disqualified due to being just 100 grams overweight. With this, the hopes of 140 crore Indians got a big blow. Now, wrestler Geeta Phogat’s post has come on this. Geeta Phogat has written in her post – We will always be indebted to you for what you have done for the country, your passion and struggle will be remembered for centuries.

The wrestling mat has been a battleground for our family, a stage where we’ve fought, triumphed, and cried together. Vinesh, my younger sister, has always been a fighter. Her spirit, her determination, and her talent have been an inspiration not just to our family, but to millions across the nation.

To see her bow out under such heartbreaking circumstances is a pain that words cannot express. The weight of the world seemed to have crushed her dreams, and it’s a wound that’s still raw for all of us.

But Vinesh, more than just a wrestler, is a warrior. She has fought against societal norms, broken barriers, and brought pride to our country. Her journey has been a testament to the indomitable human spirit.

While the mat might have lost a champion, the world has gained a leader. Her story will continue to inspire generations to come. She has shown us that even in the face of adversity, one can rise above and create a legacy that will be remembered for ages.

I am incredibly proud of the woman she has become. And though this chapter might have ended abruptly, I know this is not the end of her story. There are countless battles yet to be fought, and I have no doubt she will emerge victorious.

We, as a family, stand by her, always.

‘Your saying goodbye to wrestling like this is completely…’

Geeta Phogat further says that you are an idol for all girls, your saying goodbye to wrestling like this is very sad for the whole family as well as the whole country. In fact, Vinesh Phogat has said goodbye to wrestling after being disqualified before the final in the Paris Olympics.

“Your saying goodbye to wrestling like this is completely…” – These words, echoing the sentiments of a nation, hang heavy in the air. Vinesh Phogat, the face of Indian women’s wrestling, has hung up her boots, not with the triumphal fanfare we anticipated, but with a heart-wrenching tale of injustice.

A career etched with gold, marred by a cruel twist of fate, Vinesh’s journey is a stark reminder of the fragile nature of athletic dreams. Her Olympic hopes, shattered by a mere 100 grams, is a testament to the absurdly stringent rules that can sometimes override human spirit and achievement.

The question lingers: Is this truly the end of a chapter, or a premature full stop to a story that was yet to reach its climax? Vinesh’s retirement, forced by circumstances beyond her control, is a loss not just for Indian wrestling, but for the entire sporting fraternity. Her indomitable spirit, her relentless pursuit of excellence, and her ability to inspire millions have been an unparalleled force.

While the pain of this farewell is immense, it’s crucial to remember that Vinesh’s legacy is far from over. She has paved the way for countless young girls to dream big, to break barriers, and to challenge the status quo. Her story is one of courage, resilience, and unwavering determination, a narrative that will continue to inspire for generations to come.

As we bid adieu to this legendary athlete, let us hope that her departure is not a final curtain, but an intermission. Perhaps, in the future, we will witness her return, not as a competitor, but as a mentor, a coach, or a driving force behind the next generation of wrestling champions.

Until then, let us cherish the memories of Vinesh Phogat, the wrestler who captured hearts, defied odds, and left an indelible mark on Indian sports.
