WFI writes to UWW, withdraws team from Worlds
The Morning Standard
|October 25, 2024
INDIAN wrestling witnessed frenetic activities on Thursday. Already in the soup since January last year, the sport plunged to a new low when the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) decided not to field a team at the senior World Championships - Non-Olympic Weight Categories scheduled in Tirana, Albania from October 28 to 31.
The WFI also wrote to the world governing body, United World Wrestling, apprising it of interference in its autonomy by the sports ministry (MYAS) and requested it to invoke Article 6.3 of the UWW Regulations. A letter has also been sent to the sports minister by the federation wherein it alleged that wrestlers of the country are suffering due to an 'illegal letter' by the MYAS wherein it suspended the WFI.
