The Indian Olympic Association: Beijing Olympic gold medalist Abhinav Bindra was 'completely gutted' after Vinesh Phogat got disqualified from the women’s 50 kg event at the Paris Olympics after being weighed a few grams over the permissible limits on Wednesday morning.

Vinesh on Tuesday became the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the final of an Olympic Games after she defeated Cuba's Yusneylys Guzman 5-0 in the semifinal.

"Completely gutted. Sometimes you don't need a gold medal to be a true champion to people," Bindra posted on 'X'.
