Vinesh alleges ‘deliberate attempt’ by WFI to block return after 20 months

Vinesh Phogat has accused the Wrestling Federation of India of “deliberately” blocking her comeback by not allowing her to register for the National Open Ranking tournament, crucial for Asian Games selection. She said the portal closed early and officials didn’t respond. WFI denied the claims, saying no one is being stopped. Vinesh fears missing the event could hurt her chances of returning to top-level competition.
