Olympic gold medalist Abhinav Bindra weighed in on the CAS verdict concerning Vinesh Phogat's appeal for a joint silver medal after her disqualification at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Phogat, who was disqualified for being slightly overweight before the final, filed the appeal seeking recognition for her achievement. Bindra described the situation as "incredibly tough" and emphasized, "The rules are very clear, where you draw the line." He urged patience as the decision, initially expected on Saturday, has been postponed, adding, "We are all conditioned to hope." Bindra remains hopeful but acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding the outcome.
