New Delhi: India’s request for an additional quota place for women lifters in the Beijing Olympics has been rejected by the world governing body of the game. India got a lone berth for Beijing after Monika Devi fetched a silver and two bronze medals in the 69kg category in the Asian Championship in Japan in April-May. Subsequently, the Indian Weightlifting Federation sent a request to the International Weightlifting Federation, which has refused it in its Congress on May 31. “International Weightlifting Federation has refused our request (for additional quota). So we will have only one quota in Beijing,” IWF chief Harbhajan Singh said. Meanwhile, Gulati also did not see any doping shadow behind Commonwealth Games gold medallist Geeta Rani’s last-minute pull out of the June 29 Olympics selection trial due to family reasons. — PTI
