Following the provisional suspension of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), owing to delayed elections preceded by wrestlers’ protest, Indian athletes will compete under the United World Wrestling flag for the first time in the World championships, a Paris Olympics qualifying event, starting in Belgrade on Saturday.
However, an Olympic quota place won by an Indian wrestler will be awarded to the country, according to official sources in the ad-hoc committee running the WFI.
