NEW DELHI: Still looking for recognition from the sports ministry, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) - headed by Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's aide, Sanjay Singh - has announced the conduct of the Senior National Championships in Bengaluru from Dec 6 to 8. The Nationals will see competition in a total 18 weight categories - six each in men and women's freestyle and greco roman.
The hosting of the Nationals assumes significance as the federation had to recently call off a selection trial on Oct 6 and 7 here to pick the Indian wrestling team for the World under-23 and World Championships, scheduled later this month.
