Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has appealed her disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024 for being 100 grams over the weight limit in the women's 50kg category. Phogat has requested the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to award her a shared silver medal.

Despite the setback, Phogat remains determined to continue her fight for Olympic success and inspire young athletes to stand against adversity.
