Vinesh Phogat, disqualified from the women's 50 kg wrestling final at the Paris Olympics for being 100g overweight, has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). She is seeking a shared silver medal after her disqualification on August 7. The CAS hearing, led by Dr. Annabelle Bennett, is ongoing, with a final decision expected before the Olympics conclude. Vinesh's initial appeal to compete in the final was rejected. Her run at the Olympics included victories over Yui Susaki, Oksana Livach, and Yusneylys Guzman before her disqualification.
