CHENNAI: Women's wrestling team head coach Virender Dahiya said all his wards are safe and have been shifted to a hotel near Tirana airport in Albania. As many as 16 wrestlers along with the support staff including Dahiya reached the country to compete in the second Ranking Series that began on February 25. The bouts for men's Greco-Roman wrestlers are underway and even they might have to change their itinerary given the global crisis. "We are safe here and have been shifted to a good hotel near the airport," Dahiya told The New Indian Express from Tirana. The federation is trying to arrange an alternative flight for us through a different route," the coach added.
