The Delhi high court on Tuesday appointed a committee of administrators (CoA) to run the Indian Olympic Association. But why was this step necessary?
The Delhi HC's directive came after it said that the IOA was in 'persistent recalcitrance' to comply with the national Sports Code, adding it became imperative that the daily affairs of the apex body to be handled by the CoA.
The Delhi HC also said the CoA will be assisted by Olympic Gold medallist shooter Abhinav Bindra, former long jumper Anju Bobby George, and archer Bombayla Devi.
The decision was taken as the IOA grapples with administrative clutter amid International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) warning to hold the elections as soon as possible.
Narinder Batra had to quit as IOA president in July after the high court ruled that his appointment as life member of ‘Hockey India,’ which allowed him to fight IOA election, was unconstitutional under the sports code. The IOC had then threatened to suspend the governing body if it failed to conduct its election within the coming weeks.
The development comes at a time when the All India Football Federation (AIFF) was banned by football's governing body FIFA for "third party interference".

Murali Sreeshankar, who made the nation proud with a historic silver at the recently concluded Commonwealth Games 2022, had a disappointing Diamond League debut in Monaco on August 10.
The long jumper ran behind the leader by quite some margin and ended at the 6th spot and failed to win a medal. Sreeshankar, who has the season best of 8.36m in the nationals, finished with a 7.94m leap, which was much below his best standards.
Cuba's Masso Maykel won gold with a mammoth effort of 8.35m, slightly below Sreeshankar&rsquo;s best effort this season. At CWG 2022, Sreeshankar became the first Indian to win silver in men's long jump at the Games.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;

From Balbir Singh Senior to Golden boy, Neeraj Chopra, India since its independence has produced umpteen inspiring sports personalities. Let’s take a look at five legendry sportspersons who etched their names in India’s sporting history books:
Balbir Singh Senior
If Dhayan Chand laid the foundation of Indian hockey before independence, then Balbir Singh Senior was the strongest pillar of the sport post-independence. 3-time Olympic Gold medallist and a coach who inspired a demoralised team to win the Hockey World Cup in 1975, Balbir Singh Senior was Independent India’s most prolific centre-forward.  Singh played a huge part in the 1948 Olympics glory; he scored the first two goals in India's 4-0 win against Britain in the final.
 Milkha Singh Displaced during partition, an orphan, Milkha Singh ended up representing India on several international stages where he won accolades, and smashed records. The ace athlete who was India’s first to win CWG & Asian Games medal in the same year, unfortunately, missed an Olympic medal by 0.1 sec in Rome 1960. Milkha Singh was fondly called ‘Flying Sikh’ a moniker given by Pakistan’s president General Ayub Khan after he beat Pakistan's Abdul Khaliq at an International Athletic Competition in Lahore.
Sachin Tendulkar
If cricket is a religion that all Indians follow, Sachin is undeniably the God!With his aggressive style of batting, Sachin showed how to turn the tide when his team was staring down the barrel. For the heights he achieved, the Master Blaster became the first sportsperson in the nation’s history to be honoured by India's highest civilian award, Bharat Ratna. Tendulkar, though has retired, many of his records remain untouched, as he continues to inspire a whole generation of fans.
Neeraj Chopra
Over 60-decade old dream of Milkha Singh was fulfilled when Neeraj Chopra won India’s first ever Olympic Gold in Athletics at Tokyo 2020. The Haryana-born star, at the age of 24 has become a legend, scaling every height that felt insurmountable in the past. The youth who recently won India’s first-ever Silver medal at World Athletics Championships has emerged as a hero for the younger population of Modern India.
Mary Kom
The Magnificent Mary Kom, an Amateur boxer, a politician and World Champion is one of the most successful Indian sportswomen. Shattering glass ceilings, India’s most celebrated boxer is the only pugilist to win 6 World Amateur Boxing Championship and to win 8 World championship medals. Hailing from a small district of rural Manipur, she not only made India proud with her boxing prowess but inspired millions of small-town girls to smash stereotypes in boxing gloves.

A judge in Russia on Thursday convicted and sentenced American basketball star Brittney Griner to nine years in prison for drug possession and smuggling.
Judge Anna Sotnikova said that all the evidence and materials presented during the trial led the court to conclude that Griner's guilt "is proven." Apart from the jail term, the 31-year-old was also fined around $16,400.
Griner, a two-time U.S. Olympic champion and an eight-time all-star with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury, listened with a blank expression as an interpreter translated the verdict.
Earlier in the session, an emotional Griner made a final appeal and said that she had no intention to break the law by bringing vape cartridges with cannabis oil when she flew to Moscow in February to play basketball in the city of Yekaterinburg
The ruling concluded a case that reached the highest levels of U.S.-Russian diplomacy and raised concerns that Griner was being used as a political pawn in Russia's war against Ukraine.
