The question asked by the court to Vinesh Phogat..!?

indian athlete Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the 2024 paris olympics series in women's wrestling due to her extra weight. She continued to challenge her disqualification at the international court of Sports. The judgment in this case is scheduled to be delivered on august 13 (today) at 9.30 pm. Vinesh Phogat had asked in this case that she should be given a silver medal as she had progressed to the finals. Investigations on it have been completed. At this stage, the court has finally put two questions to Vinesh Phogat. It is said that the judgment will be given depending on the answer she gives.
Out of those two questions, one of them is tricky. Now let's see what it is. Vinesh Phogat's weight was checked on the day of the 50kg women's wrestling finals. A person participating in the 50 kg category should weigh less than 50 kg. But Vinesh Phogat was 100 grams extra. Because of that, she was disqualified. In this situation, does Vinesh Phogat know the practice of checking weight on both days in Olympic wrestling? The court asked. It has also been said that Vinesh should give a written reply to this. And agree to share the silver medal? The court also asked the question. With this, an image has been created that the court is going to give Vinesh Phogat a silver medal. But the court can decide whatever it wants. Does Vinesh Phogat know that the weight will be checked on the second day? The court asked.

If you answered yes about weight checks, how did you know you were overweight? As the court may refuse to award her the silver medal. In the same way, the court can say that if the respondent does not know about weight checking, she cannot be awarded the silver medal because she participated in the olympic games without fully knowing the rules. So, it is worth noting that a silver medal will only come if Vinesh Phogat and the indian Olympic Association give a tactful answer to this thorny question.
