NEW DELHI: A part of the wrestlers’ original protest in January, Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Ravi Dahiya has broken ranks with the group agitating against Wrestling Federation of India’s (WFI) sidelined president, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, and has decided to focus on his wrestling career by confirming his participation in the 3rd Ranking Series event in Kyrgyzstan’s Bishkek from June 1 to 4.
This will be the first international competition for Dahiya in more than 10 months after his gold-winning effort in the men’s freestyle 57kg category at the Birmingham CWG back in August 2022. Dahiya will compete in a new weight category – 61kg – which will also feature two other Indians — Aman and Pankaj.
