WFI withdraws entries from 2nd Ranking Series
Earlier, the WFI didn't send the team for the first Ranking Series held in Zagreb, Croatia from February 5 to 9 after the government did not accord the necessary sanction. Wrestling in the country has been in a mess since January 2023 when elite wrestlers staged a protest against former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh accusing of sexual harassment. However, days later the sports ministry suspended the federation and asked the Indian Olympic Association to form an ad-hoc committee to run the day-to-day affairs of the WFI. Around four months ago, the wrestlers reached the minister's residence after the WFI withdrew the team from the event citing government's intervention in its functioning.
