Paris Olympics 2024, Day 16 Live Updates: Abhinav Bindra on Vinesh Phogat’s CAS verdict
Paris Olympics 2024, Day 16 Live Updates: Vinesh Phogat’s CAS verdict on her silver medal appeal has been postponed. Speaking on the verdict, legendary shooter Bindra, “Well, it’s an incredibly tough situation and frankly, I don’t even know what to say. The rules are very clear, where you draw the line. Sport is always governed. If you don’t govern sport by rules then there is no sport. But of course, I fully empathise with Vinesh. It’s an incredibly difficult period of time for her, everybody’s heart is broken and we are all there for her. I had the opportunity to meet her as well. I really don’t know where this would head. I know the decision is postponed for a couple of days. So I think one just needs to be patient. I am not privy to what the arguments have been made, I haven’t gone through what the case is put forward and I am no legal expert. So patience for a couple of days.”
“Well, we are all conditioned to hope. So I am being hopeful, remaining positive. I am not a legal expert. I don’t know where it is headed,” he concluded.
