Paris Olympics 2024: Olympic silver medalist Bajrang Punia gave major updates regarding Vinesh Phogat and her return back to India. Earlier it was reported that Vinesh had not travelled back to the country with the contingent.
It was because she was waiting for the judgment by CAS. Vinesh herself stated that she would only return to India once the case was finished and CAS announced its official decision.
On Wednesday, at 7:00 PM IST, CAS announced that the appeal by Vinesh had been rejected. It was a heartbreaking decision but CAS maintained the precedent set by IOA and denied the Indian wrestler her silver medal.

Now that the case is over, Vinesh is all set to return to the country. She might be disappointed but every person in the country is proud of her and she will receive a hero’s welcome.
Bajrang Punia provided the update regarding Vinesh’s return stating that she will return to India on August 17th. He posted a picture on social media that had all the details about Vinesh’s return.
The Indian wrestler will reach the IGI Airport in Delhi at 10:00 AM IST and will travel to her village Balali from there. The poster contained all the information regarding the festivities that will commence once the wrestler lands in the country.
