United World Wrestling (UWW), the world governing body for the sport, has suspended the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) for not holding its elections on time.
According to sources, the message was conveyed by UWW to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), which is running the WFI affairs through an ad-hoc committee.
If the elections are not held promptly, as an immediate impact of the WFI’s suspension, Indian athletes may not participate under the National flag in the upcoming UWW events, including the World championships to be held in Belgrade, Serbia, from Sept. 16 to 24. They may compete as individual athletes, though.
