everyone was rooting for her. We were so heartbroken yesterday. Can’t even imagine what she must have felt.

Probably she took the right decision. Or I don’t know but I wish her peace of mind and positivity

She was given chance 3 times.. She represented thrice but failed twice due to same reason.. Overweight.. This year all events that happened hit her like final nail in the coffin.. She had to go.. People are waiting to take up her space for long and she knows it.. Anyway she has made a name for herself..

I think today is the last day for India in Olympics

Starting tomorrow it won't be any of our games

At least better than Deepika Kumari who said she will continue till she wins a medal

Wrestling has so many people from haryana..who are all equally trained and can get you a sure shot medal..

But deepika's record in Asian/Commonwealth and world Championship level can't be broken easily by any other player in India right now I think.. Which is why she is holding on to her place strongly.. She has accumulated so many accolades there.. But she has been performing very poorly in Olympics .. I'm so done with her..

I know her achievements are lot but what about Olympic. If you such a world class player How many excuses can you for your 4 Olympic zero medal. Many failed in her 1st but she won her in 2nd

Hadd gawarpan hai bhai. Har jagah India nahi hoti that you do these "jugaads". Apne logo ka pata nahi rules follow karne mein kya chala jata hai. Such an embarrassment

Why is her sister there at Paris? Why can’t the player herself go to pick up her things?

I thought.. only Indian professional players who were officially allowed were flown to play at Paris..

The latest twist in the tale suggests that Antim too struggled to make her weight, and needed to practically starve herself for the better part of 48 hours to make the 53kg limit. RevSportzreported that the ordeal left her totally drained and bereft of energy. She left the mat in tears and didn’t engage with journalists in the mixed zone.

Most of the people starved... Including nikhat zareen.. She did not say about weight but she cleared said she did not eat and drink water for 2 days before match which is why she lost in first place..

Boxing, wrestling all matches that include weight zones are thoroughly risky in terms of player's weight on match day..

Mary kom used to reduce 2-3 kgs in 2 hrs to participate in that event it seems.. We never knew all this before

There are 2 more wrestling events today. Ab toh iska sun kar hi man khatta hojata hai
