Former rower and canoeist Manjit Singh has been elected to the Athletes Commission of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA). According to a report by The Times of India, Manjit Singh was elected unopposed as he was the sole candidate in the male medal winner category.
Kidambi Srikanth had withdrawn his name during the election process. With Srikanth's withdrawal, Manjit Singh became the only candidate. Consequently, the competition for the other seats in the election held on Tuesday, 3 November, has intensified.
There is a contest between a total of 10 candidates for the remaining 9 seats. These candidates include well-known players such as PV Sindhu, Mirabai Chanu, and Harmanpreet Singh. Following Manjit Singh's unopposed victory, the competition for the remaining seats will now be seen among the other candidates.
