Sakshi Malik, Aman Sehrawat and Geeta Phogat announce Wrestling Champions Super League
The Daily Guardian
|September 17, 2024
Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik and Aman Sehrawat, along with former world championship bronzewinner Geeta Phogat, on Monday announced that they would soon launch a Wrestling Champions Super League (WCSL) for the country's budding grapplers but are yet to get the national federation's backing for it.

Sakshi, along with Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat, had spearheaded the wrestlers' protest against ousted Wrestling Federation of India President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who was accused of sexual harassment.
She has, however, distanced herself from the latter two after they took the political plunge by joining Congress ahead of next month's Haryana assembly elections.
She won the 58kg bronze in 2016 Rio Olympics, and announced the project with Phogat, a 55kg bronze winner in 2012 World Championships through their social media handles. The two, while announcing that they had Paris Games bronzewinner Aman on board, did not provide any details.
Phogat told PTI that she is hopeful of support from the federation and the government.
