Emotional Rollercoaster: Vinesh Phogat’s Silver Medal Verdict Revealed Tonight at 9:30 PM!
Guwahati, Aug 10: The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) will reveal its decision tonight at 9:30 pm concerning ace wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s appeal against her disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024. The controversy arose after Phogat weighed in 100 grams over the 50 kg category limit, causing her disqualification following a victorious semifinal bout against Cuba’s Yusneylis Guzman Lopez.
Phogat, who was set to face Sarah Ann Hildebrandt of the US in the final, saw her semifinal victory—and the associated silver medal—revoked by the Olympics Committee. The hearing for her appeal, held virtually on August 9, spanned three hours as the Indian wrestler presented her arguments.
In a significant turn of events, Phogat announced her retirement from the sport after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) upheld her disqualification. The wrestling community now eagerly awaits the CAS verdict, which holds the potential to influence her standing and the broader narrative of wrestling in the Olympics.
