Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal against her disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024 was heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for three hours on August 9. Vinesh, who participated virtually, argued she gained weight due to natural recovery, not fraud. Represented by Senior Advocates Harish Salve and Vidushpat Singhania, Vinesh requested a joint silver medal. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) expressed confidence in a "positive resolution." CAS's operational verdict is expected soon, with detailed reasons to follow.
