Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat returned to India from Paris, landing at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on the morning of August 17. She received a grand welcome, with Olympic medalists Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik present. The airport reception featured lively celebrations, including dancing and singing. After arriving, Punia and Malik offered their support and comfort. Despite not winning a silver or gold medal, Vinesh received nationwide support during the CAS hearings. Her return was celebrated with the enthusiasm typically reserved for gold medalists. Emotional upon seeing the outpouring of love, Vinesh had tears in her eyes. As the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the Olympics wrestling final, she became an inspiration, though she was disqualified for exceeding weight limits before the final match.
