Vinesh Phogat got India a ticket for Paris Olympics by losing 700 grams of weight in a day, know-how

Veteran Indian female wrestler Vinesh Phogat recently won the 50 kg division at the Bishkek, Kazakhstan, Olympic qualifiers, earning India a trip to Paris. However, Vinesh encountered difficulties the day before the qualifying match after learning that she was obese and had gained 700 grammes. In this case, Vinesh and the coach devised a special technique and used the gold bath to shed pounds.

Vinesh said, due to being overweight, coach Voler Akos and I were very worried. Especially the coach was getting very angry. He became so desperate that he wanted to cut my hair, but he knew that would not solve the problem. She said, I could fight with anyone, but losing weight is very difficult. One's life is lost in this.

Vinesh said that Coach Voller asked for help from one of his friends and we decided to lose weight through gold bath. Vinesh said, the coach was also with me in Sona Bath, where I stayed in 100 degrees for 30 minutes. He started patting me to generate more heat. But, I wasn't sweating. It has happened in the past that if I go to sleep immediately after training, I don't sweat much. After a while I told the coach, I was feeling suffocated and my skin was also burning, but I was not sweating. In the end, I lost 300 grams of weight.
