PARIS — Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has asked sports' highest court to award her a shared silver medal after she was disqualified from her Paris Olympics final for missing the weight limit. The Court of Arbitration for Sport says a judge in Paris is holding a hearing Friday on Phogat's appeal. The decision is "expected to be issued before the end of the Olympic Games," the court said. The closing ceremony is Sunday. Medals already were awarded in Phogat's event. Phogat barely missed the weight for the 50-kilograms final on Wednesday and the disqualification also cost her getting a medal of any color.
