Keen to ensure that she remains in reckoning for the Paris Games, star wrestler Vinesh Phogat did not let wrestling trials start in the women`s 50kg and 53kg categories and demanded a written assurance from the authorities that a final trial will be held in the 53kg weight class before the Olympics.
Vinesh, who had accused former WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment and led a prolonged protest against the BJP MP, turned up at the SAI centre to compete in the 50kg wrestling trials.
