Fans were also anticipating the CAS ruling about Vinesh Phogat’s appeal of the joint silver medal. The result was supposed to be announced by 9:30 PM IST, but the CAS decided to delay it until August 13. The wrestler’s 100gm over weight over the qualifying limit caused her to be disqualified before her gold medal match.
