Wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat, and Satyawrat Kadiyan have filed a petition in the Delhi High Court against the Wrestling Federation of India’s decision to hold selection trials for the Senior Asian Wrestling Championships 2024 and Asian Olympic Games Qualifier Wrestling Tournament. The wrestlers are challenging the Wrestling Federation of India’s circular to conduct the selection trials for these upcoming tournaments. The petitioners believe that the decision to hold selection trials goes against the principles of fair play and transparency. They argue that the selection should be based on performances in national and international events rather than trials. The wrestlers also allege that the selection trials are being held to favor certain athletes and are not being conducted in a transparent manner. They are seeking the court’s intervention to ensure a fair selection process and to address their grievances. The Wrestling Federation of India is yet to respond to the petition filed by the wrestlers. The Senior Asian Wrestling Championships and the Asian Olympic Games Qualifier Wrestling Tournament are important events that offer athletes an opportunity to qualify for the Asian Games and the Olympics respectively. The outcome of this petition could have a significant impact on the selection process for these tournaments.
