‘Onus on Vinesh to ensure she remains below limit’: CAS

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from the Paris Olympics for exceeding the weight limit by 100 grams. The CAS emphasized strict adherence to weight regulations, rejecting Phogat’s argument for leniency based on minimal excess weight and factors like water retention. Her appeal for a joint silver medal was also denied, solidifying the original medal standings.
