Chef de mission gagan narang

Chief Medical Officer Dr Dinshaw: Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president P.T. Usha, contingent's Chief Medical Officer Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, Chef De Mission Gagan Narang and others gathered here on Wednesday to address the situation regarding Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from the Paris Olympics.

Usha took the time out of her busy schedule to visit the recovering Phogat who spent the entire night trying her best to shake off the 2.7 kg she required to reduce to meet the limit of the 50 kg women’s freestyle.

“I am shocked and disappointed. I came here to meet Vinesh; she is physically and medically okay but mentally disappointed. Our support staff were there all night to bring her weight down from 52.7 kg to 50kg. The doctors have not slept and have done their level best for Vinesh,” the IOA President told reporters.
