Tokyo Olympics 2020 News

Tokyo silver medalist wrestler Ravi Dahiya has been nominated for the prestigious Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award for the year 2021, but according to a report, he has some reservations about the same. It seems that Dahiya has written a letter to the WFI, sharing his reservations.

Indian wrestler Ravi Dahiya is aiming to bring home a medal each from the 2022 CWG and the 2022 Asian Games, after claiming a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics earlier this year. The wrestler recently pulled out of the 2021 World Wrestling Championships, due to lack of preparation time.

Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) is likely to start its national training camp for both men and women by the first week of August, in Sonepat and Lucknow respectively. The Olympic bound athletes would get the first priority, while it is expected to expand to other categories as well.

The Wrestling Federation of India has decided to include a group of wrestlers, who will turn seniors of January 1, 2021, in the national trails for the rescheduled Asian Olympics qualifiers. The decision will make the qualification process for the senior wrestlers even more tougher.
