Live Updates on the Vinesh Phogat CAS Hearing Verdict: Tonight, CAS will render a decision regarding Vinesh Phogat's appeal.

 Disqualification of wrestler Vinesh Phogat from the Olympics: The Indian sports community anxiously awaited the Court of Arbitration for Sport's (CAS) decision on Tuesday regarding wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal against her disqualification from the Olympics in Paris, having heard arguments from all sides.



Vinesh, who last Tuesday easily defeated Yui Susaki of Japan in the women's 50kg freestyle final, was disqualified from the gold medal match against eventual winner Sarah Hildebrandt of the United States after it was discovered that she weighed 100 grams more than the allowed amount during the morning weigh-in.

Startled by the surprising turn of events, the defeated wrestler filed an appeal at the CAS last Wednesday, demanding a joint silver medal with Yusneylis Guzman Lopez, a Cuban wrestler who had lost to Vinesh but advanced to the final after the Indian wrestler was disqualified.

Sports icons from all over the world supported the 29-year-old wrestler who was competing in her third Olympic Games, Vinesh, stating she doesn't have the strength to continue. Vinesh announced her retirement from the sport a day after her heartbreaking disqualification.
