NEW DELHI: The Indian sporting community expressed disappointment at the Court of Arbitration for Sport's (CAS) decision to reject wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal against her Olympic disqualification. On Wednesday, the ad-hoc division of CAS rejected Vinesh's appeal after she was disqualified from the Paris Olympics 50kg final for being 100 grams overweight, ending her hopes of securing a belated silver medal.
"It's disappointing but we can't do anything about that," hockey legend PR Sreejesh, who recently retired after helping the Indian team win a second consecutive Olympic bronze medal in the Paris Games, told PTI Videos.
