The ISSF confirms once again that the International Olympic Committee has revoked the Olympic Qualifying Status of the Asian Shooting Championships now taking place in Kuwait.
In reference to the ISSF circular letter of 30 October 2016, the ISSF confirms once again that the International Olympic Committee has revoked the Olympic Qualifying Status of the Asian Shooting Championships now taking place in Kuwait. This means there are no quota places for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro to be awarded in this Championship. Further no scores obtained by athletes in the Asian Championship will qualify for MQS status.
The IOC took this decision “in order to protect the Olympic Movement in Kuwait from undue government interference.” The ISSF is very concerned about the competitions now taking place in Kuwait because the organizer has wrongly and without authority informed participants and media that Olympic quotas are being awarded. To restate the IOC decision, there are no quota places to be awarded in the Asian Championship.
To protect the rights of Asian shooting athletes to compete to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games, the IOC Executive Board directed the ISSF to propose an “alternative event in which the Olympic qualification quota places will be allocated for Asia.” The ISSF already has four formal applications and will announce the location and dates for the Asian Olympic shooting qualification competition as soon as ISSF Executive Committee and IOC approvals are obtained.
The president of the Nigerian Rugby Football Federation, Sir Edward Pam Fom has assured Nigerians that the senior men’s national team will not disappoint Nigerians in South Africa as they seek their 1st ever Olympic ticket.
Fom told journalists that it will not be business as usual when the Black Stallions file out to represent Nigeria as he called for understanding.
According to him “This is a developing nation in rugby, this is a developing national team. At our very worst we are good and at our best, we can be dynamic”
“Nigerians should be patient with us, we hope to always churn out good results as we have always done”
Speaking before their departure for Johannesburg today for a 5 day training exercise before the competition slated for the 14th and 15th of November, the NRFF president thanked the Director General of the National Sports Commission, Dr Alhassan Yakmut for giving the federation an audience to discuss their plans and programs after which he promised to be fully supportive at every point in time.
He also thanked CMB Building Maintenance & Inv Co. Ltd for their unflinching supports in ensuring the availability of funds for the federation, which has in no small way helped them in preparing the team for international engagements.
He concluded by urging Nigerians to keep supporting, believing and praying for the team as they compete against Zambia, Uganda and Zimbabwe in group B in their quest to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
