The Delhi High Court refused to allow wrestler Vinesh Phogat to participate in the 2026 Senior World Championships selection trials. This decision was made by Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at the Delhi High Court. The court upheld the September 7, 2026, circular, stating eligibility criteria apply uniformly to all athletes. Phogat challenged the WFI's framework, arguing it excluded her due to maternity leave. She is seeking a fair structure for athletes returning from maternity leave. π
