NEW DELHI: In further de-escalation of tension between the Centre and the protesting wrestlers, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on Friday approached the organisers of the upcoming Asian Games with a request to extend the ‘entry by name date’ of the Indian wrestling contingent by August 15.
This will enable the agitating grapplers to prepare properly for the selection trials for the multisport event, which is scheduled to be held in China’s Hangzhou city from September 23 to October 8.
