Changed weight class, injury troubled him
First of all, she had to change her weight category. Vinesh, who used to play in the 53 kg category, is playing in the 50 kg category in the Paris Olympics. Reaching Paris was not at all easy for Vinesh. She had to undergo knee surgery during the trial match before the Olympic qualifiers, due to which she had to face a lot of difficulties.
The movement increased difficulties
Former President of Wrestling Federation of India Brij Bhushan Singh was accused of sexual harassment. There were massive protests over these allegations, in which many veteran and star wrestlers of India participated. Vinesh Phogat was also a part of this movement. She had to face a lot of difficulties due to the movement. The road to Paris Olympics became more difficult for Vinesh, who participated in the movement, because she was not able to practice properly due to the movement.
Career was on the verge of ending due to injury
Let us tell you that Vinesh Phogat made her Olympic debut in the 2016 Rio Olympics. Her dream of winning a medal in the Rio Olympics was shattered due to a knee injury.
