Abhinav Bindra Named Among Nine IOC Mental Health Ambassadors

Last Updated: Abhinav Bindra has been named an IOC mental health ambassador to prioritise mental health in sports through open discussions and support. Abhinav Bindra, India's first-ever individual gold medallist at the Olympics, has been named one of the nine mental health ambassadors by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Alongside Abhinav Bindra, who secured gold in the men's 10m air rifle shooting at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, the list includes Olympians Holly Bradshaw (British pole vaulter), Camille Cheng (swimmer from Hong Kong, China), Bruno Fratus (Brazilian swimmer), Gracie Gold (American figure skater), Marie-Josee Ta Lou-Smith (sprinter from Ivory Coast), Ryan Pini (swimmer from Papua New Guinea), Akani Simbine (South African sprinter), and Masomah Ali Zada (Afghan cyclist). 'The IOC believes that mental health is just as important as physical health, and no athlete should face challenges alone. That's why, as part of the IOC Mental Health Action Plan, we've brought together a group of Olympians from around the world to lead the way in creating a more open and supportive sporting environment," IOC said in a statement. 'The IOC Mental Health Ambassadors are using their voices and experiences to break down stigma, encourage honest conversations, and champion mental well-being in sport. 'Each Ambassador serves as a trusted advocate, helping to share evidence-based messages, offer valuable feedback on IOC mental health initiatives, and inspire open and honest conversations, within sport and beyond. 'Whether through social media, one-on-one conversations or IOC educational programmes, they're here to inspire and support the athlete community, and ensure that mental health remains a vital part of the high-performance environment. With athletes leading the conversation, we're working together to build a culture where mental health matters, and where every athlete feels safe, supported and heard," the statement concluded. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

India's 2030 Commonwealth Games bid: IOA gives approval; Ahmedabad, Bhubaneswar in race to be hosts

India's bid for the 2030 Commonwealth Games (CWG) got the much-needed boost after the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) gave its approval on Wednesday during its Special General Meeting (SGM). If approved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the CWG 2030 will be a special addition to India sports as it will mark 20 years to the last Commonwealth Games which was hosted by New Delhi in 2010. Among the venues discussed are Ahmedabad and Bhubaneswar, who are in the race to host the proposed event in five years' time. India have time till August 31 to submit their proposal for the final bid officially. The 2010 CWG was the only time India hosted a big-scale muti-sports event. According to a The Indian Express report, Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) officials like president Chris Jenkins and chief executive Katie Sadlier were in India earlier this year and visited cities like in Gandhinagar in Ahmedabad, Bhubaneswar in Odisha and New Delhi. They met with several government officials in the above-mentioned states and central government ministers and senior bureaucrats and also had a tour of the venues in Ahmedabad and Bhubaneswar. The final decision on the host city will be made in the last week of November in Glasgow, during the General Assembly of Commonwealth Sport. Led by Director of Games Darren Hall, a team of officials from Commonwealth Sport recently visited Ahmedabad to inspect the venues and meet Gujarat government officials. Earlier, senior delegation led by Harsh Sanghavi, Minister of Sports, Government of Gujarat, met officials from Commonwealth Sport as part of efforts to understand the bid framework for the 2030 Games. The delegation included representatives from the Commonwealth Games Association India and the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. The meeting aimed to gather insights on planning expectations, governance standards and milestones for the bid. It reflected India's intent to align with global best practices while working closely with stakeholders during the process. Both sides discussed key elements usually included in a Games bid, such as the vision and legacy plans, governance and institutional support, sustainability, transport strategy, sports programme, accessibility, infrastructure planning, athlete services and Games-time operations.
