The International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach opened up on Indian grappler Vinesh Phogat's disqualification from the final of women's 50 kg wrestling at the Paris Olympics and said that they will "follow the Court of Arbitration for Sport's (CAS) decision". Vinesh was set to compete against the United States of America's Sarah Ann Hildebrandt for the gold medal but was disqualified on Wednesday for breaching the weight limit by just 100 grams. After her disqualification, Phogat requested the CAS to award her the silver medal. The decision on awarding Vinesh Phogat a silver medal following her disqualification from the final of women's 50 kg wrestling will be taken before the end of the ongoing marquee event, announced the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Friday.

Clear bias. Of course you can have 2 medals. We saw last Tokyo Olympics where we had 2 gold medals for high jump upon athlete's request.

Totally bullshit.. this guy is talking rubbish. There should not be such rule that left a person medal less who already cleared the semi-final. If there is no match in final the person unable to complete the final should be declared as losing side and should have given the silver to her. These people are playing dirty here looking down the Indian here. The Olympics chairman should resign for such controversy and hold responsible for fault.

whether the equipment used is tested and calibrated according to OIML R76 standards. If so, could you please clarify the accuracy or tolerance limits, specifically the Maximum Permissible Errors (MPE)?
Based on OIML R76, a tolerance limit or MPE as low as 0.02% is acceptable, though it can go up to 5%, depending on the international testing and calibration mechanisms in place. For instance, if we consider a 0.2% tolerance limit, a weight range from 49.9 kg to 50.1 kg would be within the permissible limits for a 50 kg load. This range aligns with calibration standards recognized globally.
Given the importance of transparency and fairness in Olympic events, I believe the Olympic Committee should make all testing and calibration records, along with the relevant master documents, available to the public. As participants, and from a human rights perspective.
There appears to be a potential gap in the management and oversight of these processes. Whether intentional or unintentional, this oversight could have serious implications. Therefore, I strongly recommend that the IOC address this matter to ensure complete transparency and trust in the equipment used during competitions.

100 grms/50, 000grm (50 kgs)= 0.2%. Means they have machines whose accuracy is as high as 0.2% perfectly. IOA shall make supply contracts to NASA for such accurate equipments 😂. Unnecessary they are wasting time at olympics 🥳🥳
