While Vinesh Phogat and his team filed a case in the arbitration court, Phogat mailed the court at 8 pm on 7 August regarding two issues to hear the wrestling issues in the court. According to a report, Vinesh was the first to raise the issue saying, 'His weight should be measured now. Because at the time Phogat mailed the court, there was still about four hours left for the finals to start.
Another point was, I was not overweight when I made it to the semi-finals, so I should have at least got a silver medal.' On the other hand, the court answered one of the two points and said, 'Since the match is fixed, nothing can be done about it. While the rest of the issue will be heard by the court tomorrow at 8 am Paris time and around 11 am Indian time.
Amid all this, if the court feels that Phogat's words are true, then the court can tell the International Olympic Committee that Phogat should be given a silver medal. However, despite the joint medals, Phogat is entitled to the silver medal. While Phogat was unbeaten in a long time, defeating Japan's Yui Susaki in her pre-quarterfinals.
