Athletics Federation: The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) President Adille Sumariwalla was on Thursday elected as one of the four vice-presidents of World Athletics, even as track and field's global governing body re-elected Sebastian Coe as its president.

Sumariwalla made history by becoming the first Indian to be elected as vice-president in World Athletics' 26-member Governing Council for the term 2023-2027 during the polls held at the World Athletics Congress in Budapest, ahead of the upcoming World Athletics Championships in the Hungarian capital.
