The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) decides to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after it says officials at the ongoing Asian Games used a shorter measurement for long jumper Shaili Singh, a decision it believes denied her a medal. The federation frames the issue as an officiating and measurement dispute affecting the final result.
In its challenge, AFI argues that the measurement taken during the long jump was incorrect and that the outcome would have changed if the jump had been measured as it should have been. The reports describe the dispute as a “measurement row,” with the federation seeking review through CAS. While one outlet reports the claim from AFI, details such as the event’s specific ruling and any response from the Games’ officials are not included in the provided accounts. The case is therefore presented primarily through AFI’s allegations and its decision to seek arbitration.
