New Delhi: Olympic Silver Medal Ravi Dahiya said he had decided to give the upcoming Wrestling World Championship because he did not have time to prepare the selection trial that WFI organized next week to choose the Indian team for prestigious tournaments.
The Indian Wrestling Federation (WFI) will conduct a trial on Tuesday for the world, set to be held in Oslo, Norway from October 2-10.
Dahiya and other Tokyo game medal winners have jumped from one country to another for various functions of criminals held in their honor.
“I don’t want to be on a mat that is not ready.
What’s the use of competing without enough practice? So I have to miss the world championship because I don’t want to go to trials without enough practice,” who speaks soft Dahiya told PTI.
Dahiya will be the second big star missing from India’s line-up as a penalist for the Tokyo Bajrang Punia Olympics have also been forced out because the ligament ripped his right knee.
“I will try to compete in one or two tournaments before the season ends after I started a serious training from next month,” he said.
However, Dahiya did not complain when asked whether too many functions bothered him.
“How do you say ‘not’ to them? They are your own people, who want to show your respect and respect you.
The only thing is I’m tired,” he said.
It is expected that Dahiya will compete in the 61kg category instead of the usual 57kg class in the world since reducing and maintaining weight is a big problem for wrestlers.
Many efforts are running with weight because they don’t just give up on food, sometimes leave without water for hours.
Dahiya did not mind that WFI did not release him from trials.
“This federation does the right thing by calling for trials.
They know what’s best.
I don’t mind appearing in trials,” he said, adding that he would immediately convey his decision to the Federation.
WFI Assistant Secretary Vinod Tomar said there was nothing wrong in asking for star wrestlers to appear for trials.
“We have to prepare the second line too.
We must provide opportunities for everyone to risk their claims to be on the national team, so all must come to trials,” Tomar said.
The 23-year-old Dahiya said he had been busy to the point that he could not even spend time with his family after returning from Tokyo.
“I came home last week and it was only about two hours.
There wasn’t enough time.
The only time I met my father was at the airport when we returned,” Dahiya, the son of a farmer from Nahri Village in Haryana, said.
Meanwhile, there is still no clarity about the participation of three wrestlers – Vinesh Phogat, Sonam Malik and Divya Kakran – in the trial because WFI has not made decisions about their respective problems.
Vinesh was suspended for the insufflusion during the Tokyo match while Sonam sent a notification of performances for violations.
Divya also sent a notification for a statement by his father against the federation.
Both Sonam and Divya have apologized for their behavior.
Vinesh also submitted an unconditional apology because it did not wear an official kit during his fight but “respect” did not agree with the allegations that he did not practice and stayed with fellow Indian wrestlers in Tokyo.
