State associations may be allowed to field candidates of their choice in Asian Games trials

The Hindu  

The ad-hoc panel of the IOA is likely to allow the state wrestling associations to field deserving candidates in the Asian Games trials even if they do not meet the criteria of being medal winners in one of the stipulated tournaments as per the new selection policy for the quadrennial extravaganza. Women wrestlers’ parents not in favour of combined camp Many women wrestlers are uncomfortable in joining the national camp at Lucknow SAI centre and many parents do not want the nodal sports body to hold a combined men’s and women’s camp in Sonepat. It was brought to the notice of the panel members that parents of women wrestlers were not in favour of their daughters training alongside the men’s wrestlers in Sonepat,” said the source. “It was also proposed that the men’s wrestlers be sent to Lucknow and the women train in Sonepat, but the coaches and referees did not agree to that.” The coaches had also suggested that a training camp be organised for the wrestlers who will compete at the UWW Ranking Series event in Bishkek from June 1-4.
