NEW DELHI: The women's national wrestling camp will finally begin at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) Centre in Lucknow from October 10, the Wrestling Federation of India said on Tuesday, with a warning that the grapplers who miss it will not be considered for selection to the Indian team. The national camp was to begin from September 1 but postponed due the coronavirus pandemic.

To make matters worse, the country's two of the four Olympic-bound wrestlers -- Vinesh Phogat and Deepak Punia -- returned positive for the virus, creating more fear in the minds of many wrestlers. Agencies
