Yes we are talking about none other than Vinesh Phogat, who is currently making headlines for a surprising reason. At Tokyo Olympics 2020, Vinesh Phogat lost her quarterfinal bout to Belarus' Vanesa Kaladzinskaya post which she not stay at the Olympics village and refused to wear a wrestling singlet with the team sponsor's logo. Vinesh competed in a singlet with a personal sponsor Nike's logo. Now The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has temporarily suspended Phogat for indiscipline during her Tokyo Olympics campaign.
