In a significant development, after repeated requests, senior advocate Harish Salve has agreed to represent Vinesh Phogat at the Court of Arbitration for Sports. This decision comes as the Indian contingent scrambles to secure top legal representation for the hearing, which has now been rescheduled to 10 AM local time tomorrow (1:30 PM IST).
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has requested additional time to appoint a lawyer for Vinesh Phogat’s appeal before CAS. Vinesh had appealed against her disqualification on two counts. The first was to let her weigh in again, which the court rejected, and the gold medal match went ahead as scheduled. The second appeal was to award her a silver medal because she had earned it with a proper weigh-in on Tuesday. The CAS has said that it will deliberate on this matter.
