The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has finalized its squad for the forthcoming Planet Olympic Online games Qualifiers (WOGQ) in Istanbul, maintaining continuity with the workforce that competed in the Asian Qualifiers in Bishkek. With the event scheduled from May possibly 9-13, WFI cited time constraints as the key reason for not conducting refreshing trials.
The squad for WOGQ retains most users from the former celebration, with exceptions built for wrestlers who secured quota areas in Bishkek, like Vinesh Phogat, Anshu Malik, and Reetika. Regardless of first ideas for clean trials due to dissatisfaction with the men’s crew efficiency in Bishkek, WFI opted towards it due to the limited routine.
The stakes are large for Indian grapplers in Istanbul, with 54 Olympic quota areas out there throughout 6 excess weight lessons and wrestling variations. United Planet Wrestling (UWW) confirmed that every body weight class offers a few Paris Olympic spots.
“Each pounds classification provides 3 Paris Olympic places, a person each and every to the two finalists and just one to the winner of the playoff involving the two bronze medallists,” mentioned United Planet Wrestling (UWW) in a statement on Monday.
The competitors will begin with Greco-Roman on May perhaps 9, adopted by women’s wrestling and freestyle, culminating on May 13.
Indian squad:
Freestyle: Aman (57kg), Sujeet (65kg), Jaideep (74kg), Deepak Punia (86kg), Deepak (97kg), Sumit (125kg).
Greco-Roman: Sumit (60kg), Ashu (67kg), Vikas (77kg), Sunil Kumar (87kg), Nitesh (97kg), Naveen (130kg).
Women’s wrestling: Mansi (62kg), Nisha (68kg).
