The decision in the Vinesh Phogat case may come today. The hearing of the case was completed on August 9. Tonight at 9:30 pm it will be decided whether Vinesh will get the silver medal or not. Although the ad hoc panel gives its decision within 24 hours, but in Vinesh's case they have taken time. Earlier this decision was to come on August 10, but later it was postponed for a few days.
