This has led to speculations that trials in all six Olympic categories may be canceled and will be held in only four non-Olympic categories. Those protesting and seeking exemption from trial in July) will get one more chance to prove themselves. “He said,” Till now we have not received their entries. We are waiting. These are fresh trials and should not be linked with the previous trials which were conducted to select the Asian Games team.
The ad-hoc committee on wrestling constituted by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has decided not to change the eligibility for the upcoming team selection trials for next month’s World Championships in Belgrade. The team selection trials for the World Championship, which will begin on September 16, will be held in Patiala on August 25 and 26. A member of the ad-hoc committee said on Wednesday on the condition of anonymity, “The trials of the world championship will be held in Patiala in all 10 weight categories of men’s freestyle, Greco-Roman and women’s wrestling as per the schedule announced two days ago.” There was speculation that with Vinesh Phogat’s (53kg) withdrawal from the Hangzhou Asian Games due to a knee injury, the ad-hoc committee may conduct trials in only four non-Olympic categories. There are 10 weight classes in wrestling, of which six are Olympic and four are non-Olympic weight classes.
The trials for the six Olympic categories for the Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou were held in New Delhi on July 22 and 23. Many of the wrestlers who took part in the trials in July opposed the World Championship trials because they believed that they would not be able to recover from the physical effects of the trials in July. The trials are being held twice to find places for Vinesh and Olympic medalist Bajrang Punia. Both of them were exempted from the trials held in July as they sought extra time for training after staging a sit-in at Jantar Mantar.
Vinesh has been ruled out due to injury while Bajrang has remained tight-lipped about taking part in the World Championship trials. This has led to speculation that the trials in all six Olympic categories may be canceled and will be held in only the four non-Olympic categories.“All the six wrestlers (who protested at Jantar Mantar and sought exemption from trial in July), including Bajrang, will get one more chance to prove themselves,” the panel member said. Till now we have not received their entries. We are waiting. These are fresh trials and should not be linked with the previous trials which were conducted to select the Asian Games team.
