Wrestling Champions Super League Launched in India

Indian wrestlers Sakshi Malik and Geeta Phogat announced the launch of the Wrestling Champions Super League (WCSL), aimed at enhancing the skills of budding wrestlers and providing international exposure. Despite the initiative's potential to foster a high-performance culture in Indian wrestling, the Wrestling Federation of India has declined to sanction the league, likening it to informal wrestling events. Paris Olympics bronze medallist Aman Sehrawat has joined the initiative, expressing optimism about its impact on the wrestling community. The WCSL is designed to create a competitive environment with expert supervision and support systems in place. Malik and Phogat emphasized their commitment to serving the sport and inspiring future generations of wrestlers. They remain hopeful for eventual endorsements from the federation and government despite the current lack of official support.
