WRESTLING STARES AT UNCERTAIN FUTURE

INDIAN wrestling heading towards suspension if elections are not held soon. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has not yet named a returning officer (a high court judge) to begin the Wrestling Federation of India election process. The IOA had formed an ad hoc committee on April 27 and had said that a retired high court judge would be appointed soon to conduct the elections. However, the 45-day deadline that had been communicated to the United World Wrestling is ending on June 10.

If suspended, it might create a problem for Indian wrestlers to qualify for the Olympics. Without a federation, qualification will depend on UWW’s sole discretion. The only solace is that the Olympic qualification for wrestling starts from World Championships in September.
