Wrestling News : SAI suspends national wrestling camps; WFI to request SAI over norms relaxation

Sports Authority of India has suspended the ongoing women’s national wrestling camp here with the campers having left to participate in the trials of their respective states to qualify for the national championships to be held in Agra on January 30 and 31. According to reports, the camp is expected to resume on February 3 and will run without a break till the Asian Olympic Games Qualifier, scheduled from April 9-11 at Almaty, Kazakhstan. The Wrestling Federation of India however has said that they will write to the Sports Authority of India seeking relaxations of strict quarantine norms. According to WFI, most of the wrestlers feel that quarantine is a ‘waste of time’ and that it further hampers their training because during this period, they can’t train and it’s like going back to the drawing board altogether.
