Sudha Murty’s ‘it happens’ remark on Vinesh Phogat’s Olympic disqualification sparks internet eye-rolls

Rajya Sabha MP Sudha Murty made headlines on Wednesday for her remarks on Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024. Speaking outside Parliament, Murty responded to questions about Phogat’s disqualification by saying, “It happens,” a comment that has sparked criticism from some corners of the internet.

Many social media users and sports enthusiasts found Murty’s remarks to be dismissive given the significance of the incident. Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification due to being overweight by 100 grams during the weigh-in was a major blow to her Olympic aspirations and has been a hot topic in sports discussions.

Critics argue that Murty’s comment failed to acknowledge the emotional and professional impact on Phogat, who has been a prominent figure in Indian wrestling. They believe her response did not reflect the seriousness of the situation or the challenges faced by athletes dealing with such setbacks.

The reaction to Murty’s statement highlights the sensitivity and importance of addressing sports controversies with due empathy and understanding, especially when they involve the struggles and achievements of athletes.
