Thanks! It's a controversy there. What do they expect from a wrestler? It was only 100 grams more. Do they really want a wrestler to play back to back 3 bouts without getting proper nourishment. I think that the weight should only be measured once. It's a crap rule.

What happened between 1980 and 2020?

One big reason can be attributed to India winning Cricket World Cup against all odds in 1983. Cricket became more and more popular and sidelined all other sports. The second was not enough facilities to shape up players to play on the turf we use these days in Hockey. Politics also played a huge role in undermining other sports than Cricket. While Cricket has always been free from political interference largely, other sports still have to rely on government for infrastructure and funding.
