Serbia’s United World Wrestling (UWW) President Nenad Lalovic is set to be put forward as a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at next month’s IOC Session in Kuala Lumpur, insidethegames has learned.
The Belgrade-based businessman, who replaced Switzerland's Raphaël Martinetti at the helm soon after the sport was dropped from the 2020 Olympics in February 2013, has been instrumental in leading the subsequent recovery culminating in the sport’s return to the programme at the IOC Session in Buenos Aires just seven months later.
Lalovic has since presided over the introduction of many other reforms, including changing the name of the governing body from the International Wrestling Federation, the introduction of a new dark blue and orange coloured mat and a greater focus on female wrestling.
