New Delhi: The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has announced the Indian women's squad for the World Wrestling Championships 2022, which is scheduled for the next month. The trials for the event were held in Lucknow on Monday.

However, a report by Indian Express says that just 54 seconds after the ladies' choice trial started, the bout to find out the participants who would symbolize India in the World Championship within the 59kg class was abruptly stopped by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) that organized the trial.

According to IE, the trial was not stopped as a consequence of damage or a technical glitch but because WFI president Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, a BJP MP wanted a gaggle of seers from Ayodhya, who had been the chief visitors, on the mat to "bless" the 2 rivals earlier than the beginning of the winner-takes-all bout.

As a result, former world championship medallist Pooja Dhanda and her younger challenger Mansi needed to apply a sudden brake to their high-intensity beginning on Monday as Singh ordered the referee to pause in order that the seers might "bless" and get footage taken with them.

Singh who was on the couch subsequent to the mat with a microphone in his hand had directions for the seers, who had been from the Hanuman Garhi matth in Ayodhya.

The wrestlers returned to the mat on Monday, after a delay of a few minutes, when the half-a-dozen seers acquired their footage clicked.

Mansi subsequently defeated the Worlds bronze medalist Pooja Dhanda 2-0 to claim the 59kg position.

Mansi will probably be part of the Indian staff for subsequent month's World Championship in Belgrade which will probably be headlined by Commonwealth Games champion and former world medallist Vinesh Phogat, who powered previous recently-crowned U-20 World Champion Antim Panghal.

Rio Olympics bronze medallist Sakshi Malik, who completed on the highest of the rostrum in Birmingham, didn't participate in the trials due to quick turnover instances between the tournaments.

After all of the bouts had been accomplished and the ladies' staff finalized, the 65-year-old Singh made all wrestlers sit on the mat in three rows in entrance of him and identified technical flaws in a few of them whereas giving tricks to coaches.

That wasn't all, he even laid down a brand new guideline.

"We expect that all of you will praise the government, SAI, and the federation for everything they are doing for you," he informed the wrestlers. "We are supporting you in all ways, so it's not asking for a lot. And if there are any hurdles, let me know and I'll ensure it's taken care of."
