Due to dissatisfaction among young grapplers amidst the recently held Asian Championship trials, stars like Bajrang Punia and Ravi Dahiya would not be given direct admission into finals of their groups when national federation organizes qualification trials for Commonwealth Games and Asian Games.

To combat age fraud, the WFI has made it essential for grapplers competing in any national event to provide birth certificates. They will have to do so before taking part in the competition, as per the new rule announced by the apex body of wrestling, on Wednesday, in the country.

Sunil Kumar, Arjun Halakurki, and Neeraj of India won bronze medals in their respective weight divisions on the first day of the Asian Wrestling Championships 2022 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, on Tuesday. Sunil, a previous Asian champion, won bronze in the 87kg category by defeating Batbayar Lutbayar.

Many believe that star wrestler Bajrang Punia has a major shortcoming in his game when it comes to leg defense, but his personal coach Sujeet Maan feels otherwise. According to the latter, the leg defense looks a bit shaky because of Punia's attacking style, which makes him look a bit vulnerable.
