Wrestling trials 'challenged' in HC

The Morning Standard

March 01, 2024

A FEW days after the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) announced dates of selection trials for the Asian Championships and Asian Olympic Games Qualifier, protesting wrestlers apparently have moved the Delhi High Court challenging the announcement. The wrestlers - Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik and her husband Satyawart Kadian- also sought direction against the WFI's move terming it illegal.

The Sanjay Kumar Singh-led WFI announced that the trials will be held at the IG Stadium in New Delhi on March 10 and 11.

Buoyed by the decision of the world body, United World Wrestling (UWW), to lift its suspension, the WFI said that the opening day of the trials will see competitions in 17 Olympic weight categories (except 53kg in women's wrestling wherein Antim Panghal has already earned an Olympic quota for the country) while the second and last day will witness competitions in the remaining weight categories.
