No Vidarbha wrestler in state squad for Nagpur's first nationals
Nagpur: No wrestlers from Vidarbha, including Nagpur, secured a place in the Maharashtra squad for the inaugural nationals to be held in Nagpur, the Wrestling Association of Maharashtra has announced. The state's 30-member contingent comprises grapplers from various districts. Out of 677 wrestlers who participated in the recent selection trials conducted in Pune, none from Vidarbha achieved the top position required to qualify for the state team. Piyush Ambulkar, secretary of Nagpur District Wrestling Association, told TOI, "With an aim to popularise wrestling in the region, we are organising the nationals in Nagpur. Competition among young grapplers is very tough in Maharashtra and that's the reason our young wrestlers fared poorly in the selection trials. I am sure the nationals in Nagpur will bring awareness among the local wrestlers about the tough competition that is required to excel in Maharashtra.
