What answer did the court give?

While Vinesh Phogat and her team filed a case in the arbitration court, Phogat mailed the court on two issues on August 7 at 8 pm for hearing in the court on wrestling issues. According to a report, Vinesh first raised this issue and said, 'His weight should be measured now. Because at the time Phogat mailed the court, there were about four hours left for the final to start. The second thing was that when I reached the semi-finals, my weight was not too much, so I should have got at least a silver medal.' At the same time, the court responded to one of the two things and said, 'Since the match is fixed, nothing can be done in it. While the court will hear the remaining issue tomorrow at 8 am Paris time and around 11 am Indian time.

The court may ask to give the silver medal to Phogat

Amidst all this, if the court feels that Phogat's statements are true, then the court can ask the International Olympic Committee to give Phogat a silver medal. However, despite the combined medals, Phogat deserves a silver medal. Phogat, who was undefeated for a long time, defeated Japan's Yui Susaki in the pre-quarterfinals.
