When an athlete makes a gold medal match at the Olympics, a silver medal is typically seen as a happy worst-case scenario. It wound up being much worse for India's Vinesh Phogat.

Phogat, who defeated Cuba's Yusneylys Guzmán 5-0 in the semifinal on Tuesday, was eliminated from the women's 50kg wrestling tournament on Thursday morning when she failed her second weigh-in, the Olympics announced.
