The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has concluded its hearing on Vinesh Phogat's appeal against her Olympic disqualification. Phogat, who missed her 50kg final due to a failed weigh-in, has requested a joint silver medal. IOC President Thomas Bach expressed skepticism about awarding two silvers, despite understanding Phogat's situation. The verdict is expected soon, possibly before the Paris Olympics conclude on August 11. Phogat's appeal has garnered significant attention, with prominent voices like Sachin Tendulkar supporting her case.
