Delhi to host Asian championship

NEW DELHI APRIL 13. The 16th Asian wrestling championship will be held at the Indira Gandhi Stadium here from June 5 to 8. The championship will be held in freestyle and Greco-Roman for men and freestyle for women.

However, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), so far has received a lukewarm response from the member countries.

Only five countries from the 32 member nations have shown their interest in the event. South Korea, Japan, Bangladesh, Syria and Uzbekistan are the countries which have confirmed their participation.

At a meeting of the organising committee, the WFI also finalised the domestic calendar for the 2003-04 season.

The junior National championship has been allotted to Delhi and will be held from June 18 to 21.

The senior men's National championship will be held in Orissa from November 19 to 22.
