IOA draws flak for granting single-bout trials to Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia and other protesting wrestlers

Firstpost  

The IOA ad-hoc panel is drawing flak from the wrestling fraternity for handing out favours to six wrestlers, including Bajrang’s wife Sangeeta Phogat, Sakshi’s husband Satywart Kadian and Jitender Kinha. New Delhi: The coaches and parents of several established and upcoming wrestlers on Friday demanded withdrawal of exemption granted to Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia and three others from Asian Games and World Championships trials, saying the selection for these important events should be fair. Dayanand Kalkal, coach of fast-rising wrestler Sujeet, who is emerging as a worthy opponent to Bajrang in 65kg, fathers of youngsters Anshu Malik and Sonam Malik, and Vikas Bhardwaj, who coaches U-20 world champion woman wrestler Antim Panghal have denounced the IOA panel’s decision. Isn’t it?” Assured Asian Games participation Rajender Malik, father of Sonam Malik, who qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, said any wrestler who makes the effort to win the trial should be assured participation in at least Asian Games.
