'She earned quota in 53kg, not by cheating', says wrestler Antim's coach

Vinesh Phogat's disqualification from the Paris Olympics has not only dashed her gold medal hopes but also ignited a series of controversies and questions. While Vinesh was recovering from an ACL injury, Antim earned her a maiden senior world championship bronze medal in the women’s 53 kg category to secure a quota for the Games. This left Vinesh with no choice but to compete in the 50 kg category, the lightest in the women's wrestling category.
