There is a fixed time for weight test before the finals, during which athletes must be present at the wrestling venue. The Champ de Mars Arena is 19 kilometers away from the Olympic sports city, so it takes more than half an hour to reach the Champ de Mars Arena by car, and there is traffic on the way. But her petition has been rejected. After that a photo has been posted by Vinesh.
