Vinesh Phogat's Appeal for Olympic Medal Rejected by Court

Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's bid for a shared silver medal was dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after she missed the weight limit by 100 grams.

Phogat was disqualified from the women's 50kg final at the Paris Olympics for exceeding the weight limit by 100 grams.
The Indian Olympic Association expressed shock and disappointment over the court's decision, calling for a re-examination of the rules.
Phogat's disqualification and subsequent appeal highlighted the extreme measures athletes take to meet weight requirements.
Following the court's decision, Phogat announced her retirement from wrestling, ending a career that began in 2001.
The incident has sparked a broader discussion on the fairness and humanity of current weight-cutting regulations in sports.
