    WFI Informed UWW About Vinesh's Twin Participation, Said 'committee Allowed Her, We Didn't': Sources

    By IANS News March 12, 2024 • 12:32 PM View: 1009
    Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh: Vinesh Phogat’s twin participation at the national trials for the Asian Olympic Games qualifier did not go down well with the officials of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). The Indian federation allegedly informed the United World Wrestling (UWW) about "all the drama that happened in Patiala on Monday" and stated that WFI have no role in 50kg and 53kg categories’ trials, sources told IANS.

    Vinesh, who was at the forefront of the protest against former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in 2023, managed to secure a place in the 50kg weight category. However, she failed to win in 53kg.

    The day started with high drama during the selection trials at NIS Patiala, when the two-time world championships medallist Vinesh wanted to participate in two weight categories.
