Lalovic Retains United World Wrestling Presidency
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Serbia's Nenad Lalovic retained presidency of United World Wrestling (UWW) after standing unopposed for the position at the body's Congress in Belgrade on Sunday.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) member, who has led the worldwide governing body since 2013, is set to serve a fresh six-year term.
Lalovic had been due to be re-elected in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the UWW to postpone its Congress until this year.
He first became President after being chosen to serve for the remaining two years of Raphael Martinetti's term following the Swiss official's resignation.
Martinetti resigned after the IOC Executive Board's recommendation to drop wrestling from the program after Rio 2016.
