The ad-hoc committee chairman for wresting, Bhupender Singh Bajwa, categorically stated on Monday that all the three members on the IOA-constituted panel agreed to Vinesh Phogat's request to compete in both 50kg and 53kg category at the national trials in Patiala despite the UWW rules stating that a competitor can take part in just one category. Following the ad-hoc panel acceding to her demand, Vinesh, the Jakarta Asian Games gold medallist, defeated Shivani 11-6 in the 50kg weight category to book a place in the Paris Olympics Qualification tournament in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan next month.
