After Setback In SC, WFI Insists Vinesh Can Participate Only In 50kg In Asian Games Trials
Delhi High Court: With the Supreme Court refusing to stay the Delhi High Court order allowing Olympian Vinesh Phogat's participation in the Asian Games selection trials, the Wrestling Federation of India has insisted that she will be allowed to participate only in the 50kg weight category, in which he took part in Paris two years back.
The WFI had approached the SC seeking a stay on the Delhi High Court order, but with the SC refusing to stop Phogat's participation in the trials, the federation seems to have thrown another spanner in the works by insisting that she take part in the 50kg and not 57 kg, to which she switched recently.
“Vinesh Phogat will have to participate in trials in the 50kg category, the same weight class in which she competed at the Paris Olympics. As an iconic wrestler, she will be allowed to take part in the selection process, but only in the 50kg division. The weigh-in is scheduled for early morning,” WFI sources told IANS.
