The newly-elected Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) body has made a significant move by canceling all decisions taken by the ad-hoc panel. This decision comes as a means to establish a fresh start and bring transparency to the sport. The ad-hoc panel, which was appointed by the International Olympic Committee, had been overseeing the wrestling federation’s affairs for the past four years. The cancellation of their decisions aims to ensure that the new WFI body can independently and effectively govern the sport in India. This move is expected to pave the way for positive changes and further development in wrestling within the country.
