Wrestler Vinesh Phogat's petition for joint silver medal in Olympics 2024 has been dismissed by Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The operative part of the order is out, while the detailed order will come later.
In a massive heart-break for India, Vinesh Phogat's petition for a joint Olympic silver medal at the Paris Olympics 2024 was rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Wednesday. Vinesh had entered the final of the women's 50kg wrestling at the Paris Olympics 2024 after some great bouts, which included win against Japanese world champions Yui Susaki. However, on the morning of her final, Vinesh was found to be 100 gram overweight than the permissible limit, and hence she was disqualified.
Wrestler Vinesh Phogat's petition for joint silver medal in Olympics 2024 has been dismissed by Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The operative part of the order is out, while the detailed order will come later. "The application filed by VInesh Phogat on 7 August 2024 is dismissed," the CAS said in its initial order on Wednesday. Vinesh Phogat was disqualified on the morning of the women's 50kg wrestling final at the Paris Olympics for exceeding the weight limit. During the weigh-in, she was found to be 100 grams over the limit.
Vinesh Phogat's appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against her disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024 for being 100 gram overweight has been rejected. The wrestler has appealed that she should be given a shared silver medal in the 50kg category because her weight was within the permissible limit, the day when she won three bouts on the trot to qualify for the final.
Though Vinesh Phogat still stands a chance at being awarded a silver medal for her performance at the Paris Olympic Games, India's official medal count from wrestling reads just one bronze medal at the moment. Aman Sehrawat, competing in his maiden Olympic Games, bagged a bronze medal from the event, though the general perception of Indian wrestlers' performance in the Paris Games is ordinary. The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief feels the ordinary show is only because of the protests that wrestlers were involved in.
Due to the delay in the verdict on wrestler Vinesh Phogat's disqualification for the Paris 2024 Olympics, she will not return to India until the decision is announced. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has further postponed the verdict on Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal regarding her disqualification from the women's 50 kg final at the Paris Olympics to August 16. According to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), the verdict, originally scheduled for Tuesday, August 13 at 9:30 pm IST, has been delayed to August 16.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced a fresh deadline to deliver the verdict on Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal on Tuesday. Vinesh and her fans all across India might have to wait till August 16 to hear from the court after the wrestler appealed for a silver medal to be granted to her following her disqualification from the Women's 50kg freestyle final over failed weigh-in. While a delay in the verdict signals Vinesh's strengthening grip on the case, the court also has to consider the ramifications of the verdict, if given in the wrestler's favour.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) continues to delay its verdict on Vinesh Phoga's case, seeking more time to come to a conclusion. Amid this excruciating period of wait, her uncle Mahavir Phogat spoke exclusively to NDTV, saying he is hopeful that the decision will be in her favour. Vinesh Phogat was disqualified on the morning of the Paris Olympics final for exceeding the 50kg weight limit. During the weigh-in, she was found to be 100 grams over the limit. Vinesh had requested the Court of Arbitration in Sport (CAS) to award her the silver medal.
