PT Usha Keeps IOA Presidential Bid Alive with Ice Hockey Association Nomination
Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President PT Usha has kept her bid for re-election alive after being nominated by the Ice Hockey Association of India (IHAI) as one of its representatives to the IOA General Body. This nomination follows her defeat in the Sportspersons of Outstanding Merit (SOM) elections, where she finished fifth in the women's category. The nomination allows her to remain part of the electoral college for the IOA Executive Council elections scheduled for December 5, enabling her to contest for the presidency despite questions about her eligibility as an IHAI member. The final electoral roll will be published after scrutiny of objections.
