No medal for Vinesh Phogat as CAS dismissed her plea; IOA expresses shock

Vinesh Phogat’s dream of winning an Olympic medal was crushed on Wednesday after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)  dismissed her application. The rejection of Vinesh's appeal means India’s tally from the Paris Olympics will be six medals which includes one silver and five bronze.

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President Dr PT Usha has expressed her shock and disappointment at the decision. She said, "shocked and disappointed at the decision of the Sole Arbitrator at the CAS to dismiss wrestler Vinesh Phogat's application against the United World Wrestling (UWW) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC)."

The International Olympic Association further said, “The operative part of the August 14 decision, which dismisses Vinesh’s application to be awarded a shared silver medal in women’s 50 kg category at the Paris Olympic Games has significant implications for her in particular, and the sporting community at large.”
