Aman Sehrawat Disqualified From World Wrestling Championships After Reported Weight Miss

The episode revives scrutiny of weight rules, prompting questions about possible WFI discipline.

Overview

  • PTI reports he was 1.7 kg over the 57 kg limit at the official weigh-in in Zagreb on September 14.
  • Coach Lalit and a Sportstar report say he fell ill in Croatia and forfeited without taking the mandatory weigh-in.
  • The 22-year-old was scheduled to face Macedonia's Vladmir Egorov in his opening-round bout.
  • The Wrestling Federation of India recently gave Neha Sangwan a two-year suspension for a 600 g overage, and any action in Sehrawat's case remains undecided.
  • Members of the Indian contingent called the situation unacceptable, citing his August 25 arrival for acclimatisation and government spending of roughly 7–8 lakh per wrestler.
