Vinesh Phogat created history by reaching the final of women’s 50 kg freestyle wrestling in Paris Olympics. For the first time an Indian wrestler reached the final. But Vinesh was expected to win gold in the final, but something unfortunate happened before that. Vinesh was disqualified on the day of the final match due to being 100 grams overweight. Vinesh appealed against this decision in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and demanded that she be given a joint silver medal. However, CAS rejected the appeal of star wrestler Vinesh Phogat.
