  • The sports body wants to keep those sports featuring in international events, including Olympics, as medal events

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) is considering a selective approach to the events for which medals will be awarded at the National Games, aiming to align more closely with Olympic sports.

This shift might mean fewer medals in non-Olympic sports, potentially affecting the overall medal tally but prioritizing Olympic success. The move has sparked discussions on balancing the promotion of Olympic sports with the inclusivity of other sports in national competitions.
