New Delhi: The Indian flag will fly again at the Olympics with the international games body revoking the suspension of the Indian Olympic Association.

The Indian body was suspended in December 2012. Its suspension was revoked after new elections.

Indian athletes can now carry their flag at the closing ceremony of the Winter Games in Sochi.
