Two wrestlers were keen to train in Japan but the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) denied their request and explained that coaches must monitor their fitness and performance ahead of key tournaments.

The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) denied two wrestlers' requests to skip the national camp and train separately in Japan. This decision was made ahead of the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games trials, which will take place in June and July, respectively.

The WFI, in its recent statement, said that coaches need to closely monitor the wrestlers' fitness and performance as these athletes had consistently been performing well in various competitions. The WFI also highlighted that it's impossible to arrange competitions for each individual wrestler according to their needs and requirements. Therefore, it's necessary for the betterment of the sport and the athletes to have them attend the national camp.

This decision was made after both wrestlers, who opted to remain anonymous, had asked the WFI if they could skip the national camp so they could train separately in Japan.

The decision heightens expectations for the wrestlers to perform well at the upcoming key tournaments. The WFI decision is consistent with its approach to prioritize the collective benefits of the national camp environment, even if it means individual requests for training elsewhere cannot be met.
