Indian wrestlers Ritika and Nisha Dahiya, who secured the Paris Olympics 2024 quotas for the country, urged the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to not conduct trials ahead of the multi-sport extravaganza.

Nisha, another wrestler who secured the quota, said that she will have to lose weight again in order to take part in trials, which will increase her chances of injury and put mental pressure on her as well.
