The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) is looking to change its Olympic selection process and will discuss it on November 12 at the Annual General Meeting. The national body will meet to discuss amendments to the WFI constitution in Nandininagar, Gonda, Uttar Pradesh ahead of the Senior National Championships which will be held at the same place from November 19 to 21.
Some of the key topics on the agenda to be discussed at the WFI AGM will be the preparation for the upcoming Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and 2024 Olympic Games.
“We are still discussing it internally. Nothing is final yet. The Olympic selection policy will be one of the main agendas in the AGM. We will see what happens after the meeting,” a WFI official told Sportskeeda.

“I have been training her since childhood," he said. "But even my training has limits which I think I have reached. She has already become a world class wrestler, now to reach to the next level, she needs someone better than me."
