I<\/span>n a significant setback for India, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed Vinesh Phogat\u2019s appeal against disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024.<\/p>\n The decision on her case, initially postponed to August 16th, 2024, has reportedly been made, and it appears that Vinesh Phogat will not be awarded the Silver medal at the Paris Olympics, thus ending India\u2019s hopes for a seventh medal at the event.<\/p>\n In a statement, Indian Olympic Association President PT Usha has expressed her shock and disappointment following the Sole Arbitrator\u2019s decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to reject Phogat\u2019s application against the United World Wrestling (UWW) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).<\/p>\n \u201cThe operative part of the August 14 decision, which dismisses Vinesh\u2019s application to be awarded a shared silver medal in women\u2019s 50 kg category at the Paris Olympic Games 2024, has significant implications for her in particular and the sporting community at large.<\/p>\n \u201cThe marginal discrepancy of a 100 grams and the resultant consequences have profound impact, not only in terms of Vinesh\u2019s career but also raise serious questions about ambiguous rules and their interpretation.<\/p>\n \u201cThe IOA firmly believes that the total disqualification of an athlete for such a weight infraction on the second of two days warrants a deeper examination. Our legal representatives had duly brought this out in their submissions before the Sole Arbitrator.<\/p>\n \u201cThe matter involving Vinesh highlights the stringent and, arguably, inhumane regulations that fail to account for the physiological and psychological stresses athletes, particularly female athletes, undergo. It is a stark reminder of the need for more equitable and reasonable standards that prioritize athletes\u2019 well-being.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] In a significant setback for India, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed Vinesh Phogat\u2019s appeal against disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024.
