Action in the morning session at the wrestling at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games was interrupted for almost two hours after a speaker cover fell from the roof at the Coventry Arena.
In an embarrassing incident for the organisers, the wrestling bouts at the Commonwealth Games had to be stopped and spectators were asked to vacate the hall after a speaker fell from the ceiling, minutes after the first session began. Only five bouts could be completed when a speaker, used to relay announcement, fell near one of the mat chairmen, raising a safety issue at the Ceventary stadium and arena on the opening day of the wrestling competitions.
The trailer for the upcoming AEW Fight Forever game has been leaked online.
Wrestling fans are convinced that WWE star The Miz has been spotted during the introductory phase from the first episode of the Netflix documentary “Woodstock 99.”
Star Indian wrestler Bajrang Punia needed less than two minutes to move to the 65kg quarterfinals at the Commonwealth Games as he pinned Naurau's Lowe Bingham in his opening bout, on Friday. Bajrang, who has entered the field as the defending champion, measured his rival for about a minute and then put him on the mat from a lock position to finish the bout in a jiffy.
Commonwealth Games 2010 glory are still fresh for Geeta Phogat. Geeta had won India’s first-ever gold medal in women’s wrestling at the CWG, defeating Australia's Emily Bensted in the final in New Delhi, 12 years ago. With the Indian wrestlers hitting the mats at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Friday onwards, Geeta, who is eyeing an international comeback after having her first child, is confident India will win the highest number of wrestling medals at the Games this time. Geeta also feels a CWG medal for cousin Vinesh Phogat will give Vinesh, a medal favourite, a lot of confidence for the Paris Olympics. Expectations will be high at CWG 2022 from Olympic silver medallist Ravi Dahiya, Olympic bronze winners Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, and Vinesh Phogat.
The Australian state of Victoria - which is hosting CWG 2026 - has dropped wrestling, along with shooting and archery, from its initial sports programme list and there's no guarantee that they will be put back in. The ongoing edition of the Birmingham Games also doesn't feature shooting and archery.
