Vinesh Phogat created history by reaching the final of women’s 50 kg freestyle wrestling in the Paris Olympics. For the first time an Indian wrestler had reached the finals. But gold was expected from Vinesh in the finals, but before that, something unexpected happened. Vinesh was disqualified on the day of the final competition 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 the combined silver medal. However, CAS had rejected the appeal of star wrestler Vinesh Phogat.
