Indian Olympic Association (IOA) Sportspersons of Merit (SOM) elections proceed ahead of the December 5 polls, with Gagan Narang and Vijender Singh among four male athletes elected unopposed. NDTV and Times of India also name Yogeshwar Dutt and Kamlesh Mehta as the other unopposed winners.

According to the reports, the unopposed selections follow withdrawals that reduce the male SOM contest. Times of India adds that an all-women contest remains, listing several prominent athletes who will compete for four spots. India Today focuses on the unopposed elections and the athletes’ names, without expanding on the broader ballot structure.

Overall, the sources agree on who the unopposed male SOMs are and that the elections are held in advance of IOA’s December 5 vote, while they differ on details about the women’s contest and the number of withdrawals involved.
