India’s journey in the Paris Olympics ended with 6 medals, although the hope of the 7th medal still depends on the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Vinesh Phogat was considered a strong contender for the gold medal in 50kg freestyle wrestling, but before the final match, she was disqualified due to being 100 grams overweight. However, after this he has appealed to be given at least a silver medal, on which the decision of CAS is yet to come. On August 9, this case was heard for 3 hours in Paris, but the decision on this has not been reached yet.

In a statement issued by CAS after the hearing, it was said that the deadline for this decision has been extended till August 10, but even on Saturday no decision was taken on this.
After this, on the night of 10th August, IOA’s statement comes that the decision on this issue will be taken on the night of 11th August at 9:30 pm Indian time, but then the deadline is extended to 13th August.
The reason for this repeated delay in decision has now come to light. Let us know why CAS has put this decision on hold till August 13.

According to reports, CAS has asked for some additional documents from Vinesh Phogat and IOA and along with this some questions have also been asked. The deadline to answer these questions has been fixed as August 11. According to Indian time, Vinesh Phogat and IOA will have to answer these questions by 9:30 pm on Sunday night. On the basis of these, the verdict will be announced on August 13.
If the CAS decision comes in favor of Vinesh Phogat, then India’s medal count will increase from 6 to 7 and Phogat will become the second athlete after Neeraj Chopra to win a silver medal in the Paris Olympics.
