In a formal appeal filed at the CAS, Phogat has demanded that she be awarded a joint silver medal along with Cuba's Yusneylis Guzman Lopez, who, had lost to Vinesh but after the Indian wrestler's disqualification made her way to the gold medal bout. The morning after her heart-breaking disqualification which snatched an assured medal away from India, Vinesh Phogat announced her retiremenet from international wrestling.
