What do you mean I, with a Dorito crumb-laden tshirt and activity levels of a walrus, don't know better than an Olympic athlete? She might have skills, I haz WhatsApp.
Amrita, This is a honest and fresh take on something that has been living inside my mind too. My only hope for Vinesh is she gets some peace at the end of all the fight. And for her team is they dont get scape goated into some dubious charges.
Thanks, Sanket. Yeah, hoping for the same. It will really be a tragedy if WFI takes 'action' against her team. The irony of Brij Bhushan's son blaming them for malpractice is too much to take.
Thank you Amrita! Very similar story with me (and many other people in the country I’m sure) - not somebody who’s paid much attention to wresting and other Olympic sports but it’s the only thing I can think about these days. She’s really such a hero.

This is so good. Love it, bookmarked it.
Haha, exactly! Even the government babus calling for 'action' against her coaches.. my god. Walrus is a good description.

Thanks, Maanav! Yeah, it's crazy how a story like this can just drive everything else out.
Thank you for writing this, Amrita!
Thank you, Suruchi :)
