Sakshi Malik announces retirement from wrestling

The Hindu  

Sakshi Malik announced her retirement from wrestling on Thursday, after Sanjay Singh was appointed President of the Wrestling Federation of India. Ahead of the elections, Tokyo Games bronze medallists Bajrang Punia and Sakshi had repeatedly requested Sports Minister Anurag Thakur to stop anyone associated with Brij Bhushan from contesting the WFI polls. “It’s unfortunate that the government did not stand by its word that no Brij Bhushan loyalist will contest the WFI election,” said Bajrang. All will get support from WFI,” Brij Bhushan told PTI when asked if the federation would support the wrestlers who had launched protests against him. “It’s unfortunate that the government did not stand by its word that no Brij Bhushan loyalist will contest the WFI election,” Bajrang said adding that he is also not sure if he wants to continue his career.
