After getting elected chairman of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) Athletes’ Commission, former World championships bronze medallist and Arjuna Award winner Narsingh Yadav said he would stand by the athletes and work for their welfare.
While lifting the suspension on the WFI, the United World Wrestling (UWW) had made it clear that the national federation needed to re-convene its Athletes’ Commission, with active athletes or those who retired within four years, by July 1.
Asked how he wants to work keeping in view the wrestlers’ protest last year, Narsingh, who heads the seven-member panel, said he would be proactive towards athletes’ issues.
