"Will We Send Daughters To Stadium?": Vijender Singh On Wrestling Body Row

"Being a player, I can understand her pain. The only female medallist in wrestling demanded justice but she did not get it," Vijender Singh said

Vijender Singh, India's first boxer to win an Olympics gold medal, has announced his support to ace wrestler Sakshee Malikkh amid her fight against the former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, whose aide yesterday succeeded him in the top post.

Ms Malikkh declared that she is quitting the sport after Sanjay Singh, a longtime aide of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, won 40 out of 47 votes in the WFI election.

Ms Malikkh and other athletes have alleged Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment and demanded action against him.
