Vinesh Phogat Verdict : The decision on Vinesh Phogat's appeal will now be announced on August 13. Before the final match of 50 kg freestyle wrestling, she was disqualified for being 100 grams overweight. Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat had appealed to CAS against this decision. The decision on this matter will now be announced on August 13.

But before this, former BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly has given his reaction to this. Talking to PTI, Ganguly said, “I don't know the rule, but I am sure that when she reached the final, she must have qualified correctly. So when you go to the final, it is either a gold or silver medal. Whether she was wrongly disqualified or not, I don't know, but she deserves at least a silver medal.”

Let us tell you that the hearing of the case ended on Friday, in which CAS accepted Vinesh's appeal. Vinesh had appealed against being disqualified for being 100 grams overweight on the morning of the final match. The decision on this appeal was earlier to be announced on Sunday evening. The Indian Olympic Association had earlier said that the decision would come on Sunday, but then it issued a clarification saying that the result would be known only on August 13.
