Firoz Mirza ByExpress News ServiceCHENNAI: Sanction the full list comprising 30 wrestlers or the team will not compete at the U-23 World Championships, that's what the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has written to the Sports Authority of India (SAI) on Monday. As many as 10 wrestlers in each style (men's freestyle, Greco-Roman and women's wrestling) were named in the list. Besides, the SAI has also not sanctioned the complete list of support staff including coaches for the event. The WFI has already sent the entry to the organisers and paid the fee as was mandated by the world governing body, United World Wrestling. It has to pay the lodging and boarding expenses of the team and support staff even if Indian wrestlers do not compete in the tournament.
