Delhi High Court Suspends Selection of Two Indian Athletes for 2026 Winter Olympics

The Delhi High Court has paused the selection of two Indian athletes for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina following a petition by cross-country skier Manjeet. He challenged the Indian Olympic Association's decision to forward Stanzin Lundup's name despite Manjeet's higher ranking in the International Ski and Snowboard Federation standings. The petition also alleges procedural lapses and conflicts of interest within the ad-hoc committee managing Ski and Snowboard India. The court's order stated that final selections will depend on the petition's outcome.
