The Ad hoc Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has agreed to hear on Friday Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's plea seeking a joint silver medal at the Paris Olympics 2024 after she was eliminated before the match after weighing 100 grams more than the 50 kg weight limit for her wrestling class.

Phogat was substituted on August 7, 2024, the day she failed her second weigh-in and was scheduled to compete in the Women's Freestyle Sükg final. Only a few hours before the match, at 18:15 CEST, she was removed due to a decision made by United World Wrestling.
