The expected time of the hearing is 1 pm IST on Friday, and an interim verdict is likely in the subsequent couple of hours.
Vinesh was disqualified on the morning of her gold-medal match in the 50kg division after being found overweight by 100gm on the second official weigh-in.
CAS accepted Vinesh’s plea in the case on Thursday after an assessment where it found enough merit in it.
Following Vinesh’s disqualification, her place in the final was taken by Cuba’s Yusneylis Guzman Lopez, whom the Indian had defeated in the semifinal. However, the Cuban lost to the eventual gold medallist Sarah Hildebrandt of USA in the final.
Vinesh had become the first Indian woman wrestler to enter an Olympic final and was in with a chance to become the country’s first woman individual gold medallist in the Games’ history.
However, after an ordeal of around 31 hours since her semifinal victory, she announced her retirement. “Alvida kushti (wrestling),” she wrote in a post on X. ““My courage is broken, I don’t have any more strength now,” the post, which was in Hindi, further read.
Vinesh began her Paris campaign with an incredible Round-of-16 win over defending Olympic champion and four time world champion Yui Susaki of Japan, who hadn’t lost in her international career (82-0) before Tuesday.
Vinesh then defeated Ukraine’s Oksana Livach 7-5 in the quarterfinal and Cuban Lopez 5-0 in the semis to enter the gold-medal match.
