Last Olympics their was 5 wrestlers, this time 6. Its going upwards, we need some extra help for our heavy weight and Greco roman wrestlers. Now corporates are ready to invest in sports, so we need little more professionalism from our wrestling association. Hope in 2020 we will have 8+.

Sandeep Sejwal cracks the 200m breaststroke OST time in the Malaysian Open with a timing of 2:15.58 with OST (2:16.27). The time would feature in around top 160. :(

Hitender got bronze in 125kg wrestling today....Great show by Hitender. There is news that both qualified athletes are dope tainted and the decision is awaited on their status. So fingers crossed on that.

Its actually a pretty complicated situation. UKR and BLR actually qualified at the European qualifier but then tested positive. However, their b-samples are yet to be tested and the hearing process is pending...As a result, UKR and BLR both competed in the 2nd world qualifier in Turkey as well (with different wrestlers) and both qualified once again...

 

So, 2 quotas have to most definitely be re-allocated in 125 kg because UKR and BLR ain't gonna be sending 2 wrestlers in the same category. As to who will get those quotas, there are a lot of complications. The best case scenario for Hitender is actually if the UKR and BLR athletes who competed in the Eur champs come out clean, as that would mean their quotas earned at Eur champs would be valid, thus UKR and BLR would become ineligible to win quotas in Turkey and thus those quotas would get awarded to the Bronze medalists at Turkey - IND and ROU..
