Vidushpat Singhania, representing the Indian Olympic Association, stated that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) provided only a brief rejection of Vinesh Phogat’s appeal for her disqualification. The decision can be appealed to the Swiss Federal Tribunal within 30 days. Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the Paris Olympics 2024 for exceeding the weight limit by 100 grams. Despite efforts to reduce her weight, she was unable to meet the criteria, leading to her disqualification and subsequent retirement from wrestling. Sarah Ann Hildebrandt won the gold medal in the women’s 50kg freestyle event.
