Why silver does not define Vinesh Phogat
In the known records of sports history, few moments are as devastating as a disqualification in the Olympic finals—a crushing blow that can shatter dreams in an instant. Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat recently faced such a fate, her hopes for a medal dashed by a disqualification that has left many in disbelief. In the aftermath, Phogat appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, seeking the silver medal she was so close to securing, if not the Gold medal she could have actually won. But in doing so, she risks something far more valuable than any piece of hardware: her legacy as a role model and playing by the book.
