    Solution

    Wrestler Shri Sushil Kumar and Boxer Ms Mary C. Kom have submitted their resignation as National Sports Observers.

Note- Sushil Kumar is the only Indian who had won two individual Olympic medals (2008, 2012). Mary Kom is an Olympic bronze medalist (2012) and five times World Amateur Boxing Champion
