Creating Equality in Female Wrestling: WFI’s Decisive Move to Shift Women’s Camp to SAI Patiala Center.
The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) recently announced a critical change in venue for its Women’s National Camp. The ad-hoc committee has decided to shift the camp from WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh’s stronghold to Sports Authority of India’s Patiala centre. This decision was made after multiple female wrestlers expressed their discomfort at training in the same environment as the chief.
The shift of venue has been welcomed by many, as it provides more resources and support to female athletes in India. Patiala Center is equipped with world-class facilities and experienced coaching staff that can help high-level wrestling performances. Splitting the camps into two, with men’s Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling held at SAI Sonipat, and women’s wrestling at SAI Patiala is also seen as a positive move for female athletes.
The decision to shift the camp has been praised by many female wrestlers who are eager to make their mark in the sport. With better resources and a safe environment, female athletes will be able to show their true potential and make wrestling history in India. It is an exciting time for women’s wrestling in the country, and hopefully this move will help create more opportunities for aspiring grapplers.
By shifting the camps to Patiala, the WFI has taken an important step towards equality between male and female wrestlers in India. The improved resources and environment will allow for more opportunities to be available for female athletes, allowing them to compete at the highest level. This progressive change will not only help create a level playing field in wrestling but also set an inspiring example for aspiring female athletes.
The WFI’s decision to shift the national camps to Patiala is a major milestone in creating equal opportunities for male and female wrestlers in India. With improved resources and a safe environment, female athletes have an unprecedented opportunity to make their mark on the sport and take Indian wrestling history forward. It is an exciting time for women’s wrestling, and hopefully, this move will help create more opportunities for aspiring female athletes.
