CAS Verdict on Vinesh Phogat: Many days have passed waiting for Vinesh Phogat, but CAS has not given any decision yet. The whole of India wants to know the answer to the question whether she will get the silver medal or not. Let us tell you that two top lawyers of India, Harish Salve and Vidushpat Singhania are fighting this case on behalf of Vinesh. On one hand, United World Wrestling (UWW) is presenting its argument on the basis of rules, but Vinesh Phogat has made a brilliant counter attack.
In fact, Rev Sports has reported that the UWW is fighting the case only on the basis of the rulebook. But the advocates of the Indian wrestlers have argued that it is not just about the rulebook and rules, it is much more than that. In clear words, the Indian side is questioning the rules somewhere. It has also come to light that the CAS decision is likely to come in favor of Vinesh.

The decision in the Vinesh Phogat case was earlier scheduled to come on August 10 at 9:30 pm. But on August 10, it was told that the date of the decision has been extended to August 13.
