In a post without any caption, the 29-year-old could be seen in an emotional state lying on mat with her hands on her eyes. With the image, the Indian wrestler put a background score of B Praak’s soundtrack ‘Rabba Ve’ which speaks about an individual’s bad luck and continued despair.

In a massive heartbreak, Vinesh was not allowed to compete in her gold medal bout in the women's 50kg wrestling at the Paris Olympics after she was found 100 grams overweight on the morning of the final.

In the run-up to the final, Vinesh had been at her absolute best as she defeated three opponents on Day 1 of the 50kg competition to land up in the final.

The Indian had in her very first bout defeated the defending champion Yui Susaki of Japan, who had won in Tokyo without conceding a single point. The Japanese great had been undefeated in her 82-match international career before running into Vinesh.

Vinesh then defeated two more opponents with ease to enter the gold medal bout.

However, on the day of the final, she was disqualified.

Vinesh had then knocked the doors of the CAS demanding a silver as she had won her first three bouts after making the weight on Day 1. However, after a lot of delay, CAS rejected Vinesh's plea on Thursday.

Vinesh, who was competing in her third Olympics, had been in the news ahead of the Summer Games as well. The 29-year-old, alongside Olympic medalist Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, had spearheaded the protests against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
