Vinesh Phogat CAS Hearing Verdict highlights: The wait continues for Vinesh Phogat and the rest of the country as the deadline for the announcement of Court of Arbitration for Sport's (CAS) ad hoc division's verdict has been further postponed to August 16. While it was earlier announced that the verdict will be made public at 9.30pm IST on August 14, it has now been pushed back two days. This is the third time that the announcement has been delayed. Having heard both sides of the argument last Friday after Vinesh appealed against her disqualification from the women's 50kg freestyle wrestling final, CAS was expected to announce its verdict on the matter on Saturday. However, CAS extended the deadline until Tuesday at 9:30 pm IST....Read More
Vinesh's glorious run at Paris Olympics
Vinesh took the wrestling world by storm last Tuesday when she beat then-defending champion and world no. 1 Yusi Susaki of Japan in her opener. Trailing 0-2 and with less than 40 seconds to go, Vinesh pulled off an absolute stunner to seal a 3-2 victory, subsequently leaving her in tears. Just a year ago, she was in New Delhi protesting against former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Singh, and now she had sealed a win against a wrestling royalty. She then defeated Ukraine's Oksana Liyach in the quarter-finals, followed by an easy win against Cuba's Yusneylys Guzman in the semis to become the first Indian woman wrestler to reach an Olympic final.
Why Vinesh was disqualified from gold-medal bout
However, she was disqualified from the gold-medal bout against eventual winner Sarah Hildebrandt of the United States as she was found 100 grams above the prescribed limit in the customary morning weigh-in. Devasted by the cruel turn of fate and having suffered from dehydration, after taking extreme measures to cut down the three kilos of weight gained through the course of her three bouts on Tuesday, Vinesh lost consciousness and was admitted to a polyclinic inside the Games village.
Upon recovery, she appealed to the CAS, demanding a joint silver medal alongside Guzman Lopez, who replaced her for the final bout following the disqualification. The CAS has postponed their verdict to August 13, and if it's in Phogat's favour, then India's Paris 2024 medal tally will increase to seven. Phogat has two World C'ships bronze medals, three golds in CWG and also multiple medals in Asian Games and Asian C'ships to her name.
