On August 7, 2024, during the weigh-in for the wrestling final, Vinesh exceeded the weight limit by just over 100 grams. This disqualification occurred despite her having made the desired weight for earlier rounds of the competition.

As a result of her disqualification, Vinesh will be ranked last in her category, and the competitor she was set to face in the final, Sarah Hilderbrandt of the USA, will compete for the gold medal instead.
