In the following edition in 2006, it was again removed for the addition of basketball. The second return was in 2010, when in addition to freestyle wrestling, the Indian organizers chose Greco-Roman wrestling as an option, understanding that the chances of the country in other sports were low and since then the sport has not been removed.
