Kenyan athlete Faith Kipyegon regained her silver medal from the women’s 5,000m at the Paris Olympics following a successful appeal against her disqualification. This development has heightened hopes for Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who is also seeking redress. Phogat was disqualified from the 50kg freestyle final for being 100 grams overweight, which initially stripped her of a potential silver medal. She has appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and a ruling is expected by tomorrow morning. If successful, Phogat could be awarded the silver.
