The 58-year-old will be ushering in a new era in the country’s sports administration, ending a crisis in the IOA, which was warned of a possible suspension by the International Olympic Committee, if the elections which were originally due in December last year, are not held this month.
The Multiple Asian Games gold medallist will be elected unopposed for the top post in the polls.
“With the warm support of my Fellow Athletes and National Federations I am humbled and honored to accept and file for the Nomination of the President Of IOA!,” tweeted Usha.
