How much you get charged for being overweight? We always pay one way or other for being overweight either by wealth or health. But Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat paid a possibility of Olympic gold medal for being just less than a pound being overweight. It is actually just 100 grams, less than 1 pau.
India’s star wrestler Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the Paris Olympics on the morning of her gold medal fight after coming in overweight, officials said.
Phogat was slated to lock horns with Sarah Hildebrandt of the US later on Wednesday after defeating Cuba’s Yusneylys Guzmán in the 50kg semifinal.
Phogat was about 2kg overweight on Tuesday night. She made a desperate bid to make weight by jogging, skipping and cycling through the night. But at a weigh-in in the morning she was still 100 grams over, the daily reported. This tells losing weight is a challenge.
This means Phogat, who was assured a silver medal at least, will not be eligible for a medal. She will also be ranked last under the rules, missing the chance to become the first Indian wrestler to win an Olympics gold.
What it tells to everyone; health is wealth!

That's almost like weight of a soap bar.
She has now pivoted from the mat to the political arena and is on course to fight the Haryana Assembly elections from Julana .
