New Delhi. Reigning Under-20 world champion Anhalt Panghal on Wednesday questioned Vinesh Phogat being exempted from the selection trials for the Asian Games, saying not only she but many other Indian wrestlers are capable of defeating Vinesh in the 53kg category. Vinesh (53kg) and Bajrang Punia (65kg) were on Tuesday given direct entry into the Asian Games by the Indian Olympic Association’s ad-hoc committee, while the rest of the wrestlers will have to undergo trials on July 22 and 23. 19-year-old Panghal, a resident of Hisar, also competes in 53 kg. He asked how Vinesh got selected despite not practicing for so long.

Senior Asian Championship silver medalist Panghal said in a video, “Vinesh Phogat will get a direct entry in the Asian Games even though she did not even practice for the last one year.” He has no achievement in the last one year. She said, “Last year in the Junior World Championship, I won the gold medal and became the first Indian woman wrestler to do so. In the Asian Championship 2023, I won a silver medal while Vinesh did nothing. She was also injured.” Panghal said, “Sakshi Malik has won an Olympic medal but she too is not being sent. What is so special about Vinesh that he is being sent directly.

I will try to qualify for Paris Olympics through Asian Games but now they are sending Vinesh.” She said, ”They are also saying that only those who go to Asian Games will go to World Championship.
