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.
The creation of the Athletes Commission reflects UWW's commitment to improving athlete welfare and resolving internal issues within the wrestling community, indicating a proactive approach towards promoting fairness and transparency in the sport.
