Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat performed brilliantly in the Paris Olympics 2024. Vinesh reached the final of the 50 kg wrestling event. However, before the final, her weight was found to be 100 grams more, due to which she was disqualified. Vinesh Phogat appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against her disqualification and demanded that she be given a joint silver medal. However, CAS rejected the appeal of star wrestler Vinesh Phogat.
