Paris Olympics 2024 Live Updates, Day 14: CAS’ Big Revelation On Vinesh’s Appeal; Wrestler Aman Sehrawat Eyes Bronze The Paris 2024 Olympics have been a whirlwind of emotions, records, and moments one cannot forget. As we run into Day 14, it is occasions such as these that sometimes the tension and, hopefully, elation can get palpable—specially for the Indian fan. There have been two big developments: the first one regarding Vinesh Phogat’s appeal and the CAS revelation about it; the second relating to Aman Sehrawat in wrestling for a bronze medal. Let’s delve deep into what exactly happened and what it bodes for Indian sport. CAS’ Big Revelation on Vinesh Phogat’s Appeal Background: Vinesh Phogat Controversy Vinesh Phogat is a household name in the context of Indian wrestling. Throughout her career, she has remained in the limelight for one reason or another. Be it conquering international events by winning medals or other controversies, her journey has been nothing less than dramatic. The recent controversy has, however, placed her in a situation which no athlete wants to be in. Vinesh performance during the opening days of the Paris 2024 Olympics was under the scanner for alleged irregularities in judgment. The Indian camp, led by the Wrestling Federation of India, wasted very little time in filing an appeal against what it viewed as discrepancies in the scoring system and possible biases. The matter escalated into the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which serves as the final judicial authority for international sports disputes. CAS’ Revelation: A Turning Point Only on the 14th day did CAS announce one big revelation in Vinesh appeal. After a detailed investigation and checking of evidence, the CAS finally declared the result to be inconsequential. That is to say, these inconsistencies in scoring are indeed there but not substantial enough to cancel the result. Of course, this verdict was disappointing for Vinesh and her supporters, but very deeply aligned with maintaining the integrity of sport and the Olympic spirit. CAS noted that the differences in the scoring had happened due to human errors and not because of any kind of intention of biasness. Those judges have been reprimanded, and advice to get further training for not repeating such a mistake in the future was given. However, the final result of that match remained, and that effectively ruled Vinesh out of the competition. Implications for Vinesh and Indian Wrestling The CAS decision has ominous signals for Vinesh Phogat career and Indian wrestling as a whole. This could be a hard pill to digest for Vinesh after her long and eventful journey towards the Olympics. An extremely rude shock could shadow her Olympic campaign, although it has been an extremely important lesson about fairness and transparency in sports. The incident serves as a lesson in better preparation and understanding of the international scoring system by Indian wrestling. Moreover, it establishes the fact that an athlete has to be backed by a strong legal and technical team who could have handled the dispute with ease. In spite of all this fiasco, Vinesh nonetheless remains a beacon of resilience and will. Her campaign in the Paris 2024 Olympics might have gone out sooner than expected, but the Vinesh regime in Indian wrestling is far from over. Attention now turns to how she and the WFI respond to that revelation, and what will be done to ensure such controversies do not arise in the future. Aman Sehrawat’s Quest for Bronze: A Ray of Hope Rising Star: Aman Sehrawat’s Journey While the controversy surrounding Vinesh Phogat appeal is taking over the headlines, there is another Indian wrestler quietly making his mark at the Paris 2024 Olympics—Aman Sehrawat. The little-known face in international wrestling, to many, Aman rose in ranks to have a place in the top lists in no time, reflecting his immense talent and great skill, which was highly appreciable and shows a dedicated will. Evidence of the same can be seen in his campaign towards the Olympics, which has been full of hard work and dedication. Born and brought up in Haryana, the state that has been producing some of the greatest Indian wrestlers, Aman got an early exposure to wrestling. He learned the nuances of the sport under watchful eyes of his coaches and practiced hard with the support of family members before commencing a campaign at national level. His breakthrough came when he topped the podium at the Asian Wrestling Championships and got an automatic quota for the Indian contingent into the Paris 2024 Olympics.   The Road to Bronze: A Grueling Path Aman’s journey through the Paris 2024 Olympics has been nothing less than a rollercoaster ride. He wrestled in the 57 kg freestyle wrestling category against some of the world’s best wrestlers. His bouts have been riveting, with every match a battle for strength, strategy, and mental toughness. Aman won a few tough matches to reach the semi-finals where he met an experienced Russian wrestler. In that bout, the skills of both wrestlers matched each other. However, Aman lost by a slender margin. Though he lost that bout, many acclaimed his good performance, and he made it to the bronze medal match.   What Victory Would Mean for India A potential bronze medal is not a small thing for Indian wrestling and sport in general. His triumph, stemming from the pain of disappointment with the Vinesh Phogat appeal, would be special; it would mean a high point reached for him and for everybody in the country. His victory would further point out the upcoming talent in Indian wrestling, thus showing that this is a country able to raise world-class athletes who can compete at the highest level. Further, success for Aman would potentially unleash another deluge of support and investment in wrestling as a sport in India. It will vindicate the need to build sound infrastructure and provide proper conditions to young talent if they are to grow up the ranks and face global competition. For Aman personally,
