IOC Restores Funding to India After IOA Reforms
The IOC, which helps fund sports around the world, has decided to start giving money again to India's Olympic organization, the IOA.
The IOC stopped the funding last year due to some disagreements and problems within the IOA.
But, the IOC is happy with the changes the IOA made, like picking a new leader and following new rules.
Because of this, athletes in India will get help with training and competing in big events like the Olympics.
The IOC has resumed funding to the IOA.
The IOC halted funding a year ago due to internal disputes.
The IOA addressed internal issues and governance concerns.
The appointment of the IOA's CEO was formally ratified.
Indian athletes will benefit from renewed funding.
