India awaits verdict on Vinesh's appeal against disqualification today

India's sports fraternity waited with bated breath as the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), having heard arguments of all parties, got ready to deliver its verdict on wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal against her disqualification at the Paris Olympics, on Tuesday.

Vinesh, who stormed into the final of the women's 50kg freestyle event with three wins, including against wrestling royalty Yui Susaki of Japan, was debarred from the gold medal bout against eventual winner Sarah Hildebrandt of the US as she was found 100gm above the prescribed limit in the customary morning weigh-in.
