Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary, a gymnastics coach, possesses sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for awards was insufficient, as the awards were not established as significant or were in a different field. Furthermore, the petitioner did not provide adequate evidence showing the success of athletes coached by the beneficiary to establish the beneficiary's own acclaim under comparable evidence.
