Yes, earlier they had decided to field same wrestlers for the final qualifying scores. But, now taken aback by results in mens freestyle, they have decided to hold fresh trials. Mens freestyle gave us 2 medals last time, so not even getting a wrestler qualified with only 1 chance left is appalling.

Hope we get few qualified in the last chance- frankly as of now only 2 seems to have a chance - Aman Sherawat and Deepak Punia.
