Vinesh Phogat's plea for a joint silver medal in women's 50kg wrestling at the Paris Olympics was accepted by the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS)

The hearing for Vinesh Phogat’s appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) is expected to start around 9:30 am Paris time, which is approximately 1 pm IST on Friday, August 9. An interim verdict could be expected about an hour later. This development is a significant boost for Vinesh Phogat and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), as CAS, in its initial assessment on Thursday, recognized the validity of Vinesh’s request for a joint silver medal in the women’s 50kg wrestling category and accepted her plea.
