The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) will wait until the last qualifying event, the World Olympic Games qualifier in Istanbul from May 9 to 12, before deciding whether to hold trials to select the Indian team for the Paris Olympics.
WFI president Sanjay Singh said since the quota places belonged to the country, the selection committee would decide whether to let the quota place winners compete in the Olympics or conduct a trial involving the challengers before naming the team.
“After the Istanbul event, we will decide whether to conduct trials for the Olympics. The selection committee will decide that. The selection rule says we should have trials. Hope trials will be conducted before sending the team,” Sanjay told The Hindu on the sidelines of the Federation Cup here.
