Wrestling
NEW DELHI: Olympic bronze medal-winning wrestler Sushil Kumar was censured and warned by the Steering Committee of the Union Sports Ministry for failing to make his weight category in the recent Asian championship in Pattaya, Thailand. The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) had issued Sushil a show cause notice and was dissatisfied with the wrestler’s reply, eventually dragging the matter before the Steering Committee. Coaches Yashvir Singh and Vladimir Mestevirishvili were also warned for not keeping a watch on the wrestler’s weight, leading to his disqualification. All three were told that any repeat offence would result in their names being deleted from the National camp. The Steering Committee was of the opinion that with the Union Government taking such keen interest in the preparations of India’s sportspersons and making available all facilities and coaching staff, it was the duty of the competitors and coaches to show some responsibility in such instances. — Special Correspondent
