CAS Verdict: There have been many controversies during the Paris Olympics 2024, one of the major cases of which is that of Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat. Vinesh was already disqualified for being 100 grams overweight, and her case is still pending in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Vinesh is still awaiting the verdict.
A similar incident happened at the Paris Olympics with Romanian female gymnast Ana Barbosu. Ana Barbosu was initially declared the bronze medal winner, while American gymnast Jordan Chiles was in fifth place. However, Chiles’ coach demanded an immediate check of her score, after which her score was increased by 0.1, and she moved into the bronze medal position.
The Romanian Olympic Committee disagreed with the decision and appealed to CAS. The Romanian Gymnastics Federation asked CAS to re-examine Chiles’ score, and it was found that Chiles’ coach, Cecil Landi, had appealed 4 seconds after the deadline. Chiles’ score was deducted, and Ana Barbosu was again declared the bronze medalist. Ana Barbosu has now been awarded the bronze medal, while Jordan Chiles’ medal has been taken away.
At the same time, Vinesh Phogat’s case is also going on in CAS. The Indian wrestler has argued that she should be given a silver medal. However, no final decision has been taken in this matter yet. Vinesh is waiting for the CAS decision on August 13. If Vinesh gets this medal, it will be India’s second silver and overall 7th medal in this Olympics.
