Vinesh Phogat's CAS Hearing On Olympic Silver Medal Ends, Lawyers Confident Of Positive Outcome
Vinesh Phogat's hearing in Paris at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has ended. The star Indian wrestler had appealed to the CAS after she was disqualified from the 50kg wrestling final at the Paris Olympics for being 100 gram overweight. Earlier, Vinesh was assured of a silver medal after entering the final of 5okg with three convincing wins but the disqualification saw her finish outside the medal bracket. Though Vinesh was within the permissible weight limit on the first day of the competition, on the second day she was found to overweight and was excluded from the wrestling final.
