Vinesh Phogat Awaits CAS Verdict on Olympic Disqualification Appeal

The Indian wrestler's appeal for a shared silver medal after a weight-related disqualification remains unresolved as the Court of Arbitration for Sport extends its decision timeline.

Phogat was disqualified for being 100 grams over the weight limit before her final match.
Her legal team argues that the weight gain was negligible and did not provide a competitive advantage.
The United World Wrestling president emphasized the necessity of following established rules.
Prominent athletes and officials have expressed sympathy but underline the importance of rules in sports.
Phogat's family remains hopeful for a favorable decision, despite her announcement of retirement.
