    'Visa Denials Cost India Gold Medals': WFI Chief Sanjay Singh Slams Embassy

    By IANS News October 14, 2026 • 12:38 PM View: 40

    U23 World Wrestling Championships:  Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Sanjay Singh has hit out at the US Embassy after nine U23 wrestlers (across greco-roman and women's wrestling categories) were denied visas for the U23 World Wrestling Championships 2026 in Las Vegas for being under-20 and having no full-time jobs.

    Speaking to IANS, Singh said this has happened for the first time in the tournament's history, and it is entirely the US Embassy's fault, due to which India have lost out on gold medals, noting at least two of the nine wrestlers were strong gold medal prospects.
