NEW DELHI, Apr 22: Former Asian champion Amit Dhankar (74kg) today replaced national gold-medallist Sandeep Mann in the Indian wrestling team for the upcoming World Olympic Qualifying Tournament, signalling the end of the road for veteran Sushil Kumar.
The tournament, to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria from May 6-9, will be the last qualifying event before the Tokyo Games.
One of the country’s most accomplished athletes, Sushil won a silver in the 2012 London Olympics, four years after a bronze in Beijing.
After not being considered for selection, the 37-year-old Sushil said, “To stay alive is more important at this stage. I have not spoken to WFI as yet, will speak to them.”
