Since the hosting rights were taken from Indian Wrestling Federation, the wrestling wave shifted to Kazakhstan. The competition will be a good opportunity for others to demonstrate their talent since the best Indian wrestlers will not be competing.
The first major competition of the season, the Archery World Cup Stage I, will take place in Antalya, Turkey. In February and March, Indian archers were very busy competing in the National Championships and the Asia Cup. Top-seeded Indians (Karan Singh and Bhavani Devi) are scheduled to compete in the Sabre Seoul Grand Prix in fencing, which is another major competition.
In the opening round of the Olympic qualifiers, the Indian women’s football team is grouped with Turkmenistan and the Kyrgyz Republic. Esow Alben and Ronaldo Singh, two of the best cyclists from India, are scheduled to compete in the Track Nations Cup.
