Indian wrestling star Vinesh Phogat's dream of Olympic gold may be dashed, but a glimmer of hope remains for a silver medal.

Disqualified from the final bout due to a weight issue, Vinesh has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

 

Vinesh's legal team has presented their case at the CAS hearing. The decision, expected by 5.30 PM IST will determine her fate.

A positive outcome for Vinesh could overturn the disqualification and award her a joint-silver medal. This would be a tremendous achievement after the initial heartbreak.

The wrestling world is watching closely as the CAS deliberates.
