Abhinav Bindra expressed frustration over the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s (CAS) delay in ruling on Vinesh Phogat’s appeal for a joint silver medal at the Paris Olympics. Originally scheduled for August 13, CAS announced a new decision date of August 16, citing the need for additional time. Bindra, who was present at the Games, compared the wait to the lengthy preparation athletes endure for the Olympics. Phogat’s appeal received broad support after her disqualification from the women’s 50kg wrestling event for being overweight by just 100 grams.
