Even after being out of the Paris Olympics, Vinesh Phogat is fighting a battle in CAS. Will Vinesh get the silver medal or not? There is still suspense about this. CAS can give its final decision tomorrow i.e. on 13 August. Vinesh was not allowed to play the Olympic final because she was 100 grams overweight. However, how did Vinesh's weight increase? Now Vinesh Phogat herself has answered this.
Vinesh's lawyer argued
According to the Indian Express report, Vinesh Phogat's lawyer has presented the reasons for her weight gain before CAS. Let us tell you that the wrestling competition was organized at the Champ de Mars Arena. In such a situation, Vinesh's lawyer told the court that Vinesh could not reduce her weight due to the short distance between the Champ de Mars Arena and the Olympic Sports Village. Vinesh fought three consecutive matches on the first day. Due to which Vinesh's body was completely exhausted. By evening, Vinesh's weight increased by 2.5 kg from 50 kg to 52.7 kg.
Considering the causes of weight gain
While presenting his argument in the court, the lawyer said that Vinesh did not get time to lose weight the next morning. Gaining 100 grams of weight is not a big deal. In summer season, the amount of water in the body is high. Due to which the body weight can easily increase by 100 grams. Apart from this, even after winning 3 competitions in a single day, there is more blood circulation in the body of the athlete, due to which there is a possibility of weight gain.
Appeal for Silver Medal
Vinesh's lawyer argued before CAS that many changes have taken place in the game since Vinesh withdrew from the final. But after hard work, Vinesh won the semi-final and won the silver medal. She should definitely get the fruits of her hard work.
