Vinesh Phogat's uncle Mahavir Phogat has reacted strongly to CAS delaying verdict on her appeal for joint silver medal in women's 50kg freestyle event at Paris Olympics. The CAS

committee will announce the decision on August 16 at 9:30 pm IST. Vinesh was disqualified from her event after being found overweight by 100 grams before her gold medal match. Speaking to

ANI he said, "We had been waiting for the verdict for the last 5-6 days. We had been expecting the result but we are getting date after date. We will wait for the verdict from the CAS

and we will accept it". Phogat also said that he will celebrate Vinesh's return to India like she had won the gold medal,"140 crore Indians are waiting for the verdict and we

Silver in wrestling and only the second after Sakshi Malik to achieve the feat. However much to Phogat's misfortune, she was disqualified even before she took to the wrestling mat due

to being overweight . The world championships bronze-medallist even resorted to desperate measures including cutting her hair. She didn’t sleep the whole night and did everything in her

capacity to meet the criteria – from jogging to skipping and cycling. Following the disqualification, Vinesh then filed a complaint with the CAS asking the court to overturn her

disqualification and give her a joint-silver medal. The hearing of Phogat’s legal battle at the CAS featured French lawyers Joelle Monlouis, Estelle Ivanova, Habbine Estelle Kim, and Charles

Amson, provided by the Paris Bar. From Indian Olympic Association (IOA) side, senior counsels Harish Salve and Vidushpat Singhania fought the case for the Indian wrestler. However Following

the unfortunate incident, the Indian grappler announced her retirement from wrestling saying that she doesn't have the strength to continue. Following the latest decision the question

still remains the same, will Vinesh’s plea for a joint silver be heard and will the CAS verdict go in her favour?
