Paris: The ad-hoc division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will take another day before deciding on Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal against her disqualification from the women's 50kg free-style final of the Olympic Games.
The 29-year-old was disqualified for being 100gm overweight at the time on weigh-in on Wednesday. The much-anticipated verdict on her appeal was earlier due to be announced this evening.
"The ad-hoc division of CAS has extended time till 6 pm (9.30 pm IST) on August 11, 2024, for the Sole Arbitrator Hon. Dr Annabelle Bennett in the Vinesh Phogat vs. United World Wrestling & the International Olympic Committee to issue a decision," the Indian Olympic Association(IOA) said in a statement.
"The reasoned order will be issued at a later date," it added.
According to an IOA source, the decision is likely to be made public only on Tuesday, two days after the conclusion of the Games in Paris.
