Indira Gandhi Stadium: Crafting a comprehensive masterplan for achieving glory in the 2026 Asian Games in Japan, new Indian head coach Emzarios Bentinidis has highlighted the critical importance of focused training and highly individualized roadmaps as the national squad gears up for the 2026 Asian Games.

Speaking in the aftermath of the high-stakes Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) selection trials, the veteran coach emphasised that the national program will now pivot towards a highly professional, uniform system of management. By charting unique developmental paths for every single wrestler under his guidance, the ultimate goal is to ensure that each athlete peaks at the perfect time on the continental stage.

Attending the men's selection trials at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) Centre in Lucknow this weekend to closely monitor the squad's preparations, Bentinidis—widely known as Shako—detailed why a blanket training methodology is no longer viable. "Every wrestler is different and requires a different approach. There is no single formula for success," Shako explained.
