PT Usha keeps Indian Olympic Association chief re-election bid alive with ice hockey body nomination

What happened: PT Usha was nominated by the Ice Hockey Association of India as one of its two representatives to the Indian Olympic Association general body, keeping her re-election bid for president alive, PTI reported. Key numbers: Usha was elected IOA president in 2022. The next executive council elections are scheduled for December 5. Why it matters: Her earlier defeat weakened her chances of another term because sportspersons of merit representatives form part of the electoral college. The nomination now gives her a place in the general body.
