“Responsibility Of Weight Management…”: PT Usha's Big Take On Vinesh Phogat Row | Olympics News

“Responsibility Of Weight Management…”: PT Usha's Big Take On Vinesh Phogat Row | Olympics News

by | Aug 12, 2024 | top-stories






Drawing criticism for Vinesh Phogat’s weigh-in fiasco, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President PT Usha on Sunday made it clear that it is the responsibility of the athlete to manage their weight and the attack on its medical team, especially Chief Medical Officer Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala is “unacceptable and worthy of condemnation.” The 29-year-old Vinesh was left heartbroken after she was disqualified ahead of her gold-medal bout in freestyle 50kg for being 100gm overweight in the morning weigh-in, crushing her Olympic dreams and prompting her to announce her retirement.

The incident started a blame game, also leading to an uproar in the Parliament, with some sections attacking Dr Pardiwala and his team for negligence with former IOA chief Narendra Batra indicating that Vinesh’s diet might have had something to do with her disqualification.

“…the responsibility of weight management of athletes in sport like wrestling, weightlifting, boxing and judo is that of each athlete and his or her coach and NOT that of the IOA-appointed Chief Medical Officer Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala and his team,” Usha said in a statement.

“…the hate directed at the IOA medical team, especially Dr. Pardiwala, is unacceptable and worthy of condemnation.” She hoped that those rushing to judge the IOA medical team “would consider all facts before arriving at any conclusions”.

Vinesh had scripted history by becoming the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the gold medal bout in her category on Tuesday night. But her post-participation weight was found to have increased and despite all measures, which included cutting off Vinesh’s hair, she was found to be 100gm extra during the morning weigh-in.

“Each Indian athlete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in such sport had his or her own support team. These support teams have been working with the athletes over so many years,” Usha said.

“The IOA appointed a medical team a couple of months ago, primarily as a team that would assist in the recovery and injury management of athletes during and after their competition. This team was also designed to support athletes who did not have their own team of nutritionists and physiotherapists.” Vinesh has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS), demanding that she be awarded a joint silver medal with Cuban wrestler Yusneylis Guzman Lopez, who had lost to the Indian but was later promoted to the final following the Haryana wrestler’s disqualification.

American Sarah Hildebrandt won the gold after defeating Lopez in the title clash.

The decision on Vinesh’s appeal is expected to come on August 13.

Arvind Kejriwal In Jail, Manish Sisodia To Lead AAP's Assembly Poll Campaign

Arvind Kejriwal In Jail, Manish Sisodia To Lead AAP's Assembly Poll Campaign

by | Aug 11, 2024 | top-stories


Manish Sisodia has been the key face behind the rise of the AAP

New Delhi:

With Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal still in jail, his close confidante and former deputy Manish Sisodia has taken charge of the party’s campaign for the assembly polls in the national capital and Haryana.

Mr Sisodia, who has been granted bail by the Supreme Court in corruption and money laundering cases linked to the Delhi liquor policy case, will today hold a meeting of the senior party members.

The 52-year-old walked out of Tihar jail on Friday after spending 17 months behind bars, giving a shot to the AAP in its arm, which is still trying to fight the setback it received after its chief, Mr Kejriwal, was sent to jail in a case related to the alleged liquor policy scam.

The meeting of the AAP leaders is scheduled to be held at 6 pm at Mr Sisodia’s residence. 

Assembly elections in Haryana, where the AAP has announced to contest all 90 assembly seats, are due later this year, while polls in 70 constituencies of Delhi are expected to take place in the beginning of 2025.

Manish Sisodia Is Key Face Of AAP

Manish Sisodia, the former deputy chief minister of Delhi, has been the key face behind the rise of the AAP since its inception after the 2011 anti-corruption movement.

The AAP credits Mr Sisodia for “underscoring his pivotal role in shaping the multi-faceted governance landscape (of Delhi)” and “revolutionalising” the education system of Delhi government schools.

Before signing off his cabinet responsibilities, he held 18 crucial portfolios, including education, finance, planning land and building, vigilance services, women and child development, as well as art, culture, and languages, among others.

He, however, resigned from the Delhi cabinet on February 28, 2023, two days after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested him for alleged irregularities in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy 2021-22.

Mr Sisodia has won the Delhi assembly elections thrice, securing the Patparganj constituency in East Delhi.

    “Time for an Umpire’s Call! Every sport has rules and those rules need to be seen in context, maybe even revisited at times. Vinesh Phogat qualified fair and square for the finals.

On Camera, AAP's Atishi Breaks Down Mid-Speech After Manish Sisodia's Bail

On Camera, AAP's Atishi Breaks Down Mid-Speech After Manish Sisodia's Bail

by | Aug 9, 2024 | top-stories



AAP leaders today termed the Supreme Court verdict as a “victory of truth”.

New Delhi:

Delhi Education Minister and AAP leader Atishi broke down today as she reacted to the Supreme Court’s decision to grant bail to Manish Sisodia, the former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, in the liquor policy case. 

Atishi, speaking at a school in the national capital, said, “Today the truth has won, the students of Delhi have won. He was put in jail because he provided good education to poor children.”

AAP leaders today termed the Supreme Court verdict as a “victory of truth”. Mr Sisodia was granted bail nearly 18 months after his arrest in the liquor policy case. The Supreme Court’s verdict, delivered by Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan, said it would be a “travesty of justice” to continue Mr Sisodia’s incarceration without significant progress in the trial.

“This is the victory of truth,” Atishi added. “He was implicated in a false case. He gave a bright future to the children of Delhi. Today we are happy and now we are waiting that in the same way, Delhi’s popular Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will also come out. This is the victory of the people of Delhi.”

Mr Sisodia, who was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26 last year, has been at the centre of a controversy surrounding the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy 2021-22. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) subsequently arrested him on March 9, 2023, in connection with a money laundering case that stemmed from the CBI’s First Information Report (FIR). Mr Sisodia resigned from his ministerial post two days later on February 28, 2023.

The legal battle surrounding the case has seen multiple high-profile arrests, including that of Arvind Kejriwal. On Thursday, a Delhi court extended Mr Kejriwal’s judicial custody until August 20 in the ongoing corruption case being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Special Judge Kaveri Baweja, who presided over the hearing, extended Mr Kejriwal’s custody after he appeared before the court via video conference.

Mr Kejriwal, 55, was initially arrested by the CBI on June 26 while already in judicial custody at Tihar Jail, where he was being held in connection with a money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). His arrest by the ED had occurred earlier on March 21.

Despite being granted interim bail by the Supreme Court in the ED case on July 12, Mr Kejriwal remains in Tihar Jail as he has yet to furnish the required bail bond.

India vs Spain Hockey Bronze Medal LIVE Score, Paris Olympics 2024: Harmanpreet Singh converted two penalty corners as India beat Spain 2-1 in the men’s hockey bronze medal match of Paris Olympics 2024 at Stade Yves-du-Manoir. India thus secured back-to-back medals at the Olympics, having also won bronze in Tokyo three years back, for the first time in 52 years. The last time India won back-to-back hockey medals at Olympics was in 1968 and 1972. Veteran goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, who was playing his final match for India, made some extra-ordinary saves to deny Spanish captain Marc Miralles from the penalty corners. The Indian players mobbed Sreejesh after the full-time whistle, capping off a brilliant farewell for the 36-year-old. (Olympics 2024 Medal Tally)
