Senior open ranking tournament

The Senior Open Ranking Tournament: Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Sanjay Singh quashed ace wrestler Vinesh Phogat's claims of 'WFI stopping her from competing in next month's National Open Ranking tournament', saying her "registration has already been completed" so why is she creating the unnecessary issue?

The Senior Open Ranking Tournament is scheduled to take place from May 10 to 12 at the Nandininagar Mahavidyalaya in Gonda, Uttar Pradesh, and the last day of registration is set for April 30, but Vinesh had alleged that she has not been able to register for the competition, as the WFI portal said the registrations are closed and the federation's administrative staff are unresponsive to her calls.

However, the WFI chief refuted such claims and shared a copy of Vinesh's registration exclusively with IANS.
