    Paris Olympics: Decision Before The End Of The Games: CAS Issues Statement On Vinesh's Appeal

    By IANS News August 09, 2024 • 17:14 PM View: 467
    Dr Annabelle Bennett AC SC: The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has agreed to hear wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s appeal to be awarded the silver medal in the women’s 50kg competition in the Paris Olympic Games and said a decision will be issued before the end of the Games.

    Vinesh lost the chance to fight for the gold medal after she was disqualified before the final round after exceeding the weight limit of her 50kg wrestling category. Later, she appealed against her Olympic disqualification with the CAS and demanded a joint silver medal in the 50kg weight category.

    "An application was filed at the CAS Ad hoc Division at 16:45 CEST on 7 August 2024 by Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat (the Applicant) in relation to the decision taken by United World Wrestling (UWW) to replace her, because of her failed second weigh-in, before the gold medal match of the Women's Freestyle 50kg competition at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 that was due to commence at 18:15 CEST the same day (the Challenged Decision)," the CAS statement read.
