Paris Olympics: Denying Vinesh Silver Defies Logic, Sporting Sense, Says Cricket Legend Tendulkar
Paris Olympic Games: Vinesh Phogat’s heroic redemption story which saw her qualify for the gold medal match at the 2024 Paris Olympics turned its head fast as the 29-year-old was disqualified.
While the entire country awaits to hear the decision by the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) to see whether Vinesh will be awarded the silver medal that she fought tooth and nail for, one of the biggest sporting icons of India, Sachin Tendulkar took to social media to post his final thoughts on the matter ahead of the meeting.
“Time for an Umpire's Call! Every sport has rules and those rules need to be seen in context, maybe even revisited at times. Vinesh Phogat qualified fair and square for the final. Her disqualification by weight, was before the final, and hence, for her to be robbed of a deserving silver medal defies logic and sporting sense,” read the statement by Tendulkar.
