THE Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Wednesday dismissed the application filed by wrestler Vinesh Phogat challenging her disqualification from the women's 50kg competition at the recently concluded 2024 Paris Olympics. It's understood that the operative part of the order was communicated directly to the Indian Olympic Association, an interested party in the case.
The two-time World Championships bronze medallist had challenged her disqualification on August 7 and said that she should be awarded a shared silver as she had reached the final on the first day of the competition when she successfully made the weight cut at the weigh-in. Vinesh was found 100 grams overweight the next morning which led to her disqualification.
Meanwhile, Vinesh is scheduled to return to the country on August 17.
