Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat awaits the Court of Arbitration for Sport's (CAS) verdict in Paris, following her disqualification from the gold-medal bout at the Paris 2024 Olympics for being 100 grams overweight. Vinesh, who appealed for a silver medal, was disqualified on August 7, leading to Cuba's Guzman Yusneylys replacing her in the final. The CAS's decision, expected today, has kept the nation on edge. Vinesh's legal team, led by senior counsel Harish Salve, remains hopeful of a favorable outcome, while support pours in from across India.
