Amazon Quiz: Recently 21 Indian wrestlers were denied visas by which country ahead of the U23 World Championship?
Options:
Spain
Portugal
Serbia
Croatia
Answer: Spain
The Spanish embassy refused 21 Indian wrestlers visas, therefore they will not be able to compete in the current Under-23 World Championships in Pontevedra. The visa refusal was based on the assumption that they wouldn’t leave the country before their visas expired.
WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar said,” This is something we have never faced before. Despite presenting the Indian government’s clearance and an invitation from the world governing body United World Wrestling (UWW), our wrestlers have been denied visas on the most frivolous ground.”
He further added,” We got the rejection letters this evening (Monday) after we made a request to release the passports as soon as possible. This is really bizarre. I really don’t know how the officer came to the conclusion that wrestlers and coaches won’t come back to India. Our wrestlers are strong medal contenders, they (Spanish embassy) have denied them the opportunity to shine on the big stage.”
Only nine of the 30-member team selected by the Indian Wrestling Federation for the Under-23 Championship could go. One among those turned away was India’s first-ever under-20 female world champion, Antim Panghal. Only six of the nine coaches who requested for visas received them.
