Paris Olympics: Vinesh Appeals To CAS, Demands Joint Silver Medal, Chances Are Zero: Sources
United World Wrestling: Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has appealed against her Olympic disqualification with the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS), sources told IANS. As per the information received, she has demanded a joint silver medal in the 50kg weight category.
"Yes, she has filed the appeal. The verdict is likely to come on August 8 morning. Let's see what happens then. But chances are zero. They can't change the rules," sources told IANS on Wednesday night.
Vinesh lost the chance to fight for the gold medal after she was disqualified for being overweight in the morning weigh-in on Wednesday following her stupendous performance on Tuesday when she stunned the hitherto unbeaten Yui Susaki of Japan in her first bout.
