The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) on Friday lifted the suspensions of Olympic medallist Aman Sehrawat and junior grappler Neha Sangwan

Aman Sehrawat requested the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to reconsider the one-year ban imposed on him for failing to make weight at the World Championships in Zagreb.

Paris Olympics bronze medalist Aman Sehrawat has been handed a year of suspension by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) from all wrestling-related activities.

The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) suspended Paris Olympics bronze medallist Aman Sehrawat from all wrestling-related activities for one year after he failed to make weight at the Senior World Championships.

Aman had reached Zagreb, Croatia, on August 25 for an acclimatisation camp along with other Indian wrestlers and had enough time to make weight.

In an ideal world, politics and sport are not meant to be mixed. But then the world of Indian wrestling was far from ideal in 2024 with Vinesh Phogat's Olympic dejection and the never-ending administrative chaos pulling down a once flourishing sport

Usha on Monday said that it was "deeply concerning" that the EC members failed to honour Olympic medallists and accused the Finance Committee of blocking funds.

The IOA had planned to award each individual medallist between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 1 crore, with coaches receiving Rs 15 lakh to Rs 25 lakh as part of the official felicitation.

"We won't approve it," said Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Sanjay Singh.

Shooter Manu Bhaker and wrestler Aman Sehrawat were at the Kaun Banega Crorepati set, in the episode televised on Thursday.
