Wrestler Pappu Yadav on his failed weigh-in at the 1996 #Olympics : "The weigh in was 70 km from the Games village and all Indian officials were at the opening ceremony." The only positive I take from the Vinesh Phogat tragedy is the level of outrage it has caused. #Paris2024

Neeraj Chopra calling over bronze medallist Japan's Genki Dean for a group photo after the Asian Games final last year. Neither Genki nor silver medalist Kishore Jena have made it through to the #Olympics final, but hope Neeraj re-enacts this later tonight. #Paris2024
