CHENNAI: By then, Antim Panghal had won three bouts in the 53kg weight category to finish first in the ongoing Asian Games selection trials in New Delhi on Saturday. However, the moment she was informed about the Delhi High Court decision, she broke down.
The inconsolable 19-year-old wrestler along with Sujeet Kalkal, who competes in the 65kg men's freestyle, had earlier moved the court against the ad-hoc committee's decision to give exemption to Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia from the trials.
