Wrestling News: New chapter to be added to Indian wrestling

A new chapter will be added to the glorious history of Indian wrestling, with the upcoming Under-15 Asian Junior Wrestling Championship. Indian wrestling will score yet another first with the Under-15 girls entry in the Asian Junior Wrestling Championships in Fuji-Mi, Japan. Wrestling Federation of India has named a 10-member junior girls’ squad for the event, scheduled for November 16, 2018. This is the first time ever that an under-15 Indian wrestling squad will be competing in an Asian-level competition. This was in tune with the Wrestling Federation of India’s ‘Catch ’em Young’ policy to encourage young wrestlers and identify future talents. All the 10 girls named for the Fuji-Mi event are the top performers in their respective categories at the Under-15 Nationals, held in Meerut earlier this year.
