NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Randhir Singh was elected president of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) on Sunday for a four-year term, becoming the first Indian to assume the post.

The 77-year-old has been the OCA acting president since 2021, filling in for Kuwait's Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, who was handed a 15-year ban from sports administration in May this year over ethics breaches.
