'Change Happens Gradually, But I'm Ready To Help,' Says Sakshi Malik On Joining WFI
WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan: Rio 2016 Olympics bronze medal-winning wrestler Sakshi Malik expressed interest in joining the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) in some capacity, highlighting that her personal experiences and deep understanding of the struggles athletes face make her well-suited to help bring about meaningful change.
Her statement comes after a tumultuous year in Indian wrestling. In January 2023, Sakshi, along with fellow wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, staged a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, demanding the resignation of WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh over allegations of sexual harassment.
"Why not, If given a chance in the future to join WFI, why would not I join? I don't think anyone else knows wrestling better than me. We keep talking about having a better federation. If I had joined WFI straight after the protest, many would have told me that she did all this for politics, but it's not like that," Sakshi told IANS.
