    Delhi HC dismisses Sushil Kumar's plea
  • Ending Sushil Kumar's Olympic hopes, the Delhi High Court dismissed the wrestler's plea seeking trials against Narsingh Yadav in the 74 kg free style wrestling.

    The court felt that with little time left for Olympics, holding trial would hamper the possibility of winning a medal at Olympics.

    Further the court observed that Narsingh rightfully secured his Olympic quota through the World Championship.

    Sushil's name missing from list of Rio probables

    Sushil's name missing from list of Rio probables
  • Reportedly, Sushil Kumar's name was missing from the Olympics' probables list forwarded to Indian Olympic Association.

    This comes amid speculation over Sushil's participation that was fuelled by compatriot Narsingh Yadav bagging a quota in the same weight category (74kg).

    Sushil hasn't featured in any competition since 2014 Commonwealth Games, while Narsingh, who won bronze at 2015 World Championship, secured his quota fairly and squarely.

  • Information
