Wrestler Vinesh Phogat said goodbye to wrestling today. She shared a post on social media and informed about this. However, a hearing on her medal is also going to be held today. In such a situation, is there any hope of a medal for India from Vinesh or not? CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) will give its decision in this regard.
…then you will get a medal!
There is a discussion that Vinesh is still expected to win a silver medal in the Paris Olympics, although a decision will be taken today on whether she will get the medal or not. After being disqualified, India's star wrestler Vinesh Phogat has appealed against her disqualification in CAS. Phogat has said that she should be given a silver medal in joint. Along with this, she also sought permission to play the final match but it was rejected. Now a decision will be taken on Vinesh's demand for a silver medal. CAS has sought time till Thursday morning to pronounce the verdict. The sports court will pronounce its verdict at 11.30 am. If CAS gives a verdict in favor of Vinesh, then the IOC will have to jointly give the silver medal to Vinesh. That is, Vinesh will also have to be given a silver medal jointly with the wrestler who lost the match in the wrestling final of the 50 kg weight category.
What does CAS do?
Court of Arbitration for Sport The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is an independent body created for sports around the world. Its job is to settle all legal disputes related to sports. Established in 1984, this international body resolves sports-related disputes through arbitration. It is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland and has courts in New York, Sydney and Lausanne. Temporary courts are also set up in Olympic host cities.
Vinesh retired
Disappointed Vinesh Phogat wrote on a social media post that “Mother wrestling won against me and I lost. Sorry, your dream is shattered. I have no strength left in me now.” Goodbye wrestling 2001-2024. She apologized and said that I will always be indebted to all of you.
Just 100 grams of weight is too much,
India's Olympic hopes suffered a major setback on Wednesday. There was chaos as soon as Vinesh Phogat was disqualified. Her weight in the 50 kg weight category was 100 grams more than the prescribed weight. Vinesh had a good chance to win the gold medal. But she was disqualified a few hours before the final count due to being overweight. Due to one such rule, she missed the medal despite winning the semi-finals.
