Former Commonwealth Games gold-medallist Narsingh Pancham Yadav was elected chairman of the Wrestling Federation of India's Athletes' Commission, completing a process that was mandated by the sport's world governing body.
The election of Yadav to this position fulfills a mandate set by the United World Wrestling (UWW), the world governing body of sports, which required the WFI to establish an Athletes Commission to cater to wrestlers' grievances.
