No wrestling camp until Independence Day: Report

By   - 03/08/2020

With the wrestlers uncomfortable joining the national camp in Sonepat and Lucknow, it is likely that it might be postponed for another month. According to a report by the New Indian Express, an official on condition of anonymity said that the training camp may not commence before August 15. “Wrestlers want the camp after August 15. The talks are on with Sports Authority of India and a decision will be taken soon,” the report added.

Tokyo Olympics-bound Vinesh Phogat is new in the list to deny joining the women’s wrestling camp in Lucknow due to the current conditions and her health issues. The world medallist has a sensitive stomach and therefore she avoids eating at the centre. She usually goes out to have dinner or the food is delivered to her. It puts her at risk of getting infected by covid-19.

“I am not going to attend the camp (next week or whenever this month) and I have already informed the federation (WFI) about it,” she told Mail Today. “When I am in camp I don’t eat food there because I get stomach infection if I do so. I go out or my food comes from outside mostly. And if I join camp now, I won’t be able to leave the centre, so I decided to give it a skip. Yes, Corona cases are also rising so that, too, is a concern for me”.

Pooja Dhanda and Sakshi Malik have regularly voiced against holding the national camp given the current conditions. With no competitions, Dhanda said, there is no point of risking lives and hopes that WFI understands the problems. “I have already said that it should not happen. Coronavirus cases are rising day by day. Look at the record of Lucknow too. We do not have any tournaments recently so what is the point of risking lives. I know there will be the pressure of joining the camp if WFI asks us. But I would request that federation, like always, understand our problem,” she said. Dhanda has moved to Vijaynagar to train at the Inspire Institute of Sports (IIS).

A WFI official had on Satuday told Mail Today that it is possible that the venue for the wrestling camp might get changed. “Many wrestlers are against it now. We were thinking that some positive news might come in Corona cases but it again went up. The federation will again meet and decide what can be done,” the official on condition of anonymity told Mail Today. “Vinesh has already said no, so I am sure with this many other wrestlers will also do the same. There is also a possibility that the venue might get changed,” he added.
