Vinesh Phogat CAS Case Update: Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat still hopes to get justice at the Paris Olympics 2024. She had confirmed the silver medal by entering the final of the 50kg freestyle wrestling, but she was disqualified just before the medal match because she was 100 grams overweight before the Olympic gold medal match.
After this, Vinesh filed a case in CAS, on which the decision is to come on August 13. If the decision comes in favor of Vinesh, then she will jointly get the silver medal. But before this, the decision of another case has come from the CAS court. After which some people are also looking at Vinesh’s case and have started hoping for a medal.

Actually, American athlete Jordan Chiles made it to the finals of the gymnastics floor exercise. Here she finished 5th with a score of 13.7. However, her coach seemed unhappy with the decision of the judge who gave the score and he appealed to the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG).
In her appeal, she said that she was not treated well. Her athlete (Jordan) should have got more points according to the way she performed. After reviewing the matter, FIG increased Jordan’s points to 13.8. After this, she came directly from 5th to 3rd position and was given the bronze medal.
Jordan Chiles stripped of bronze medal after court case
But there was a filmy twist in this case. In the same event, Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu came third and got a bronze medal. But after the decision of FIG, Ana was pushed to fourth place and her bronze medal was given to Jordan. On this, the Romanian team filed a case in the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).
In his appeal, he said that this should not have happened to him. His athlete Ana deserves the bronze medal. After this, after hearing the case, CAS ruled in favor of the Romanian team and Ana Barbosu was again given the bronze medal. The court found that the gymnastics coach has to lodge a protest within one minute after the result of the match, but this did not happen in this case. He took one minute and 4 seconds to lodge the complaint. For this reason, the decision was given in favor of Romania’s Ana.
Will this case affect Vinesh’s case?
Now the question is whether this case can have any effect on Vinesh Phogat’s case? The answer to this is that ‘No, it will not have any effect on Vinesh’s case.’ The reason for this is that both the cases are completely different. The only thing common in this is that CAS has overturned the decisions taken by the international body of that sport. This is the only thing common in both the cases.
But one thing that is different in Vinesh’s case is that the International Organization of Wrestling has followed the rules. Whereas the International Organization of Gymnastics did not follow the rules. This is the only big difference between the two cases. This is why CAS ruled in favor of the Romanian gymnast. This does not necessarily mean that this court can also give a decision in favor of Vinesh.
What special things have emerged from these two cases?
However, one very important thing has come to light in Vinesh’s case and that is that now there is a need for an expert in sports laws with the team. All teams nowadays have their own coaches, physiotherapists, dieticians, trainers, other support staff, who work to hone and improve the performance of the athletes.
Also, during the Olympics, a doctor is present everywhere with the team. But now it seems that the time has come that most of the teams in the Olympics should also take along with them a sports law expert. Because when such things or cases come up, then all the laws and what to do at which point can be known from these experts. This is what has come to light in the case of Vinesh and gymnastics.
