Breaking News: Decision on Vinesh Phogat's Silver Medal to Be Announced on August 13 | ABP News
Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat is still awaiting a decision on her appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after being disqualified from the gold medal match at the Paris Olympics 2024. Vinesh was disqualified due to being 100 grams overweight just before the final match, despite her efforts to reduce weight. She had appealed to CAS, which has now posed three questions to her, delaying the final decision. The questions from CAS include whether Vinesh was aware of the rule requiring weight checks the following day, if she is willing to share the silver medal with a Cuban wrestler, and whether she prefers the appeal's outcome to be announced publicly or kept confidential. The outcome of this appeal is eagerly awaited by Vinesh and her fans. India has secured a total of six medals at the Paris Olympics 2024: five bronze and one silver. Neeraj Chopra won silver in javelin throw, while the Indian hockey team and shooting events contributed three bronze medals each, and Aman Sahravat earned a bronze in wrestling.
