CAS Dismisses Vinesh Phogat's Appeals

News summary

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal against her disqualification from the Paris Olympics final for failing to make weight, as she was found 100 grams overweight. This ruling means she will not receive a medal, and her hopes for a shared silver were dashed. National Wrestling coach Virendra Dahiya expressed disappointment, stating that Vinesh deserved at least a silver medal for her efforts. The Indian Olympic Association criticized the 'inhumane regulations' that led to her disqualification, highlighting the psychological and physiological stresses athletes face. Following the ruling, Vinesh announced her retirement from wrestling, marking a significant impact on her career. The incident raises serious questions about the regulations governing weight limits in competitive sports.
