'We Felt Cheated’: Vinesh’s Husband Questions WFI's Intentions After Asian Games Blow
Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium: Vinesh Phogat’s husband and coach, Somvir Rathee, has questioned the Wrestling Federation of India’s (WFI) intentions after the former World Championships medallist failed to qualify for the 2026 Asian Games, alleging that the federation did not want her to win during the selection trials.
Vinesh’s hopes of making the Indian team for the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya ended after she suffered a narrow 4-6 defeat to Meenakshi Goyat in the women’s 53kg semifinals at the selection trials held at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium here on Saturday.
Reacting to the setback, Rathee said the family felt let down by the manner in which events unfolded and claimed the federation's actions throughout the process had worked against Vinesh.
