The ad-hoc division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport has once again deferred its decision on Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal against her disqualification from the Olympic finals in Paris, until August 16.
Vinesh was disqualified from the women's 50kg freestyle final for being 100gm overweight at the time of weigh-in on Wednesday last week.
"The CAS ad hoc division president has allowed Hon. Dr Annabelle Bennett, Sole Arbitrator in the Vinesh Phogat vs. United World Wrestling (UWW) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) matter, an extension until 6-00 p.M. (Paris time) on Friday, August 16, 2024," a release from the IOA said.
