Vinesh Phogat

Asian Games gold medallist wrestler Vinesh Phogat made an angry outburst through her Twitter handle on Thursday night, expressing disappointment at her physiotherapist Poornima Ngomdir not being given accreditation by the Indian Olympic Association despite sending the request long back.

"Is it a crime to ask for one physiotherapist for four women wrestlers when there are instances of one athlete having multiple coaches/staff? Where is the balance? We have asked for a physio long back and not at the last moment as reported. @IOA_Official @PMOIndia @ianuragthakur," read the tweet.

Vinesh, seen as a gold medal hopeful, will compete in the women's freestyle 53kg category.
