Overview
- Phogat, who confirmed Tuesday that her entry is in, will return in the 57kg class at the National Open Ranking event in Gonda on May 10–12.
- She had earlier said the WFI site showed registrations closed before the April 30 deadline and that officials did not take her calls.
- The WFI denied blocking her and said a technical glitch on its portal hit multiple wrestlers before it was fixed.
- A late-night timestamp on her online entry drew scrutiny over when her registration was processed, though she says she could finish it only the next morning.
- Medal winners at this meet earn national‑camp places that keep them in line for Asian Games and World Championship trials, and the Gonda venue is linked to ex-WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, a flashpoint in the sport.
