Indian Wushu Athlete Divyanshi Dropped from Asian Games Amid Injury and Selection Dispute
Eighteen-year-old Indian wushu athlete Divyanshi Choudhary was dropped from the Asian Games squad shortly before departure, replaced by two-time Asian Games medallist Roshibina Devi. The Wushu Association cited a partial ACL injury detected in medical tests as the reason, while Divyanshi and her coach disputed the severity and alleged mental harassment and abuse of power. Divyanshi shared a video expressing distress and claimed she had won all selection trials. The controversy highlights conflicting views on fitness and selection fairness ahead of the Games in Japan.
