"Stop Trolling, Athletes Are Going Into Depression": Avinash Sable Slams Social Media Critics During Olympics 2024

India's 3,000m steeplechase star Avinash Sable has lashed out at fans and users on social media who criticise and troll the athletes participating in the Paris Olympics 2024. Despite coming into the Olympics with high hopes of beating their Tokyo 2020 medal tally of seven, India have only managed to win five medals so far and look unlikely to meet that tally. Amidst the Games, several Indian athletes - such as archer Deepika Kumari and wrestler Antim Panghal - have suffered trolling on social media platforms like X. Avinash hit back at such fans.

Grappler Aman Sehrawat provided a bronze medal to India in wrestling at the ongoing Paris Olympics but the focus will now shift to Reetika Hooda, who will be competing in the women's freestyle 76kg.

Aman Sehrawat scripted history by becoming India's youngest ever medalist at the Olympics as he claimed bronze in the 57kg freestyle wrestling event at the Paris Olympics 2024. Aman defeated Puerto Rico's Darian Cruz in the bronze medal match on Friday to clinch India's first medal in wrestling at this year's Olympics.

How Aman Sehrawat Lost 4.6kg In 10 Hours Before Paris Olympics 2024 Bronze Medal Match

Aman Sehrawat weighed 61.5kg after his semifinal defeat on Thursday -- exactly 4.5 kilograms more than the permissible limit in the men's 57kg -- but in the next 10 hours, he worked tirelessly with his Indian coaches to lose 4.6kg. Jagmander Singh and Virender Dahiya, the two senior Indian coaches attached to the six-member wrestling contingent, now had a 'mission'. They could not afford another jolt after what happened with Vinesh Phogat, who is now fighting a legal battle against her disqualification from the women's 50kg final for being overweight by 100g in the second-day weigh-in.
