Delhi HC refuses to allow Vinesh Phogat’s participation in selection trials for 2026 Senior World Championships

India’s Delhi High Court denied wrestler Vinesh Phogat permission to compete in the selection trials for the 2026 Senior World Championships. The court noted that permitting her participation before a ruling on the selection policy could create unequal treatment for other athletes in similar circumstances. Phogat had recently resumed her competitive career after giving birth.
