Kimmy Yam is a reporter for NBC Asian America.
An Indian wrestler who was disqualified from the 50-kilogram gold medal match hours after she made Olympic history is speaking out after a week of silence. Vinesh Phogat, who was eliminated last week due to being “a few grams” over the weight class shortly after she had become the first woman from Team India to make the Olympic finals, released a statement Friday expressing both gratitude for her journey as well as disappointment for its end.
“When I think about courage, I think about her and it is this courage that helps me fight every fight without thinking about the outcome,” she said. Naming several others including her husband, fellow wrestler Somvir Rathee, and coach, Woller Akos, Phogat shared her appreciation for her loved ones. “These people and their faith in me was so strongly grounded, it is because of them that I could continue through the challenges and get through the past 2 years,” she said.
