vayuu1 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 NEW DELHI: Bringing an unfortunate end to the controversy surrounding participation of Pakistan athletes for the ISSF World Cup here, the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) on Friday revoked the Olympic qualification status (two quota places) for the Men's 25m Rapid Fire pistol event due to non-issuance of visa to the three-member Pakistani contingent. Shooters Muhammad Khalil Akhtar and Ghulam Mustafa Bashir, along with an official, were scheduled to participate in the Feb 20-28 event at the Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range in the Indian capital. "The IOC restricted the withdrawal of recognition as an Olympic qualification event to the 25m rapid fire pistol competition in which the two Pakistani athletes were supposed to participate. This happened in the interest of the other 500 athletes from 61 countries participating in the other events who are already in India for their competition," the IOC said in its statement. "Since becoming aware of the issue, and in spite of intense last-minute joint efforts by the IOC, the ISSF and the Indian NOC, and discussions with the Indian government authorities, no solution has been found to allow the Pakistani delegation to enter India in time to compete," it added.

vayuu1 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 The IOC has asked the ISSF "to make a proposal on how the two available Olympic quota places will now be otherwise reassigned". Among the 23-member Indian shooting contingent in the World Cup, Anish Bhanwala, Arpit Goel, Bhavesh Shekhawat, Adarsh Singh and Gurpreet Singh are participating in the Men's 25m Rapid Fire Pistol event. However, only Bhanwala, Goel and Adarsh are in contention for a medal. The other two are participating for Minimum Qualification Score (MQS). After failing to obtain an Indian visa, the National Rifle Association of Pakistan had written to the ISSF that the two Olympic quotas in the event be shifted to another tournament. Doubts over Pakistan's participation in the tournament were first raised after 40 CRPF jawans were killed in a terror attack in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir last week. Meanwhile, a further setback for Indian sports was IOC's decision to suspend all further talks regarding hosting of any future sports events because non-participation of any country is against the Olympic Charter.

vayuu1 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 "This situation goes against the Fundamental Principles of the Olympic Charter, in particular the principles of non-discrimination, as well as the IOC’s and the Olympic Movement’s position, reiterated on many occasions over the past few years, that equal treatment must be guaranteed for all participating athletes and sporting delegations at international sports events, without any form of discrimination or political interference from the host country," the IOC statement added. "As a result, the IOC Executive Board also decided to suspend all discussions with the Indian NOC and government regarding the potential applications for hosting future sports and Olympic-related events in India, until clear written guarantees are obtained from the Indian government to ensure the entry of all participants in such events in full compliance with the rules of the Olympic Charter – and to recommend that the IFs neither award to nor hold sports events in India until the above-mentioned guarantees are obtained," the apex body said. The World Cup will, thus, now have 14 Tokyo Olympics quota places available compared to the earlier 16. India will compete for 12 of them, as Anjum Moudgil and Apurvi Chandela have already booked two quota places for the country in the women's 10m Air Rifle event.

Gollum Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) We can't take panga with IOC because we have no clout there. Feel sorry for non-cricket stars in the country....GOI doesn't have balls to do something worthwhile, but expecting everyone else to suffer. Olympics me Pak ki koi aukaat nahi hai, we are slowly emerging. Last thing we want is a ban on our participation and this message by IOC is worrying, why so self harming? It is not like we are ever going to meet a Pak sportsperson in those events, hell not a single Pak! qualified for the Rio Games.

Gollum Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Unlike cricketers these Olympians get limelight once in a couple of years...this after lifelong sacrifices and sufferings, often with no reward or recognition. Totally different dynamic compared to cricket. You can't deny them a shot at Olympics just because Modi the coward can't do **** to Pakistan. In their quest for glory they are never going to face a single Pak! rest assured, then why this chewtiyapa? Are they economically harming Pak here? Politically? Diplomatically? Massive self goal. maniac, Scar and manu4411 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtmohanlal Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 just can't understand these gimmicks going on around the main 'factor' ie: military action. All right , these gimmicks are good as a conceal for the important act ie: ruthless military action.Our military is capable of doing just that thru every strategic move and I hope they are doing just that by now far from public eye .No need of revealing military strategies to fake secularist morons like Kamala hassan so that these bastards can 'catch fish out of muddy water'. That's more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) This is the highest form of stupidity. Modi/Shah ke * mein dam nahi hai to take tough political/diplomatic decisions, SOB PM doesn't have the guts to explicitly name Pakistan in his statements. Aur baaki sab logon ka career barbad karne chala hai. 2020 may be the last Olympics with wrestling as a discipline, imagine the plight of the wrestlers who have one final shot at glory dedicating all their lives for this moment, breaking bones and taking life threatening hits right from a young age. Now if the haramis sitting in Delhi have it their way, full stop their lives come to an end. And they have nothing to do with Pakistan, probably never even stepped in the same ring as a Pakistani...after all it has been decades since Pak wrestlers qualified for Olympics, literally no standing. IOC is acting tough and rightly so, can't have it our way. Tomorrow morons will say India will boycott all chess events because of Pakistan, never mind that there isn't a single Pakistani ranked in FIDE top 10,000 and India is the upcoming superpower like 70s USSR. Then no Neeraj Chopra, Hima Das because there's a sole Pak! hobbyist in grade Z Asian quota qualification with a 1 in a trillionth chance of booking a flight to Tokyo. Hope it stops with sports otherwise we will be instructed to stop breathing the same air as Pak!s....bas apne pairon par kulhadi maarte raho gadhon. Aur baat rahi Pak ko isolate karne ki, BC hum yahaan isolate ho rahe hai....seriously do we even have a foreign policy?

Do we do this, that or all of the above? Do we become Stalin or Nazi in Kashmir, start a dialogue with Pak, stop Indus waters, what else?

Become ruthless in Kahmir, use real bullets against the stone pelters. Remove 370, 35A...then put all separatists in jail in a distant place. Put fear in the minds of the Kashmiris, make it a curfew state until their spirit breaks. Stop absurdities like Ramzan ceasefire, surrender policy, release of stone pelters etc. Give military some time to come up with a plan, first set the valley right.

IOC does not belong to India. if the govt had given visa to Pakistani, most people would criticize govt for same decision. easy to criticize from outside. When IOC banned Russians for doping, did Russian government fail their people? if you are going to criticize, atleast make some valid arguments.

There were only 2 shooters from Pak, more like hobbyists. GOI shouldn't have taken panga with IOC. Quote When IOC banned Russians for doping, did Russian government fail their people? if you are going to criticize, atleast make some valid arguments. Of course Russian govt failed their people. They were running a state sanctioned doping program and rightfully got embarrassed by the governing body. It was humiliation for them and for the reputation of their athletes. Their track and field athletes were consciously cheating, what wrong have our athletes done? They might have to pay because Modi govt doesn't have the spine to take any concrete action, instead relying on cheap gimmicks. Doval's son can have a Pak! business partner but an elite Indian athlete can't be in the same building as some random Pak! journeyman....can't you see the hypocrisy? And never doubt the patriotism of our shooters, boxers and wrestlers.....authorities can't use them as a plaything to make them prove their love for the country. And I am sure you realize that these low profile athletes are in a different boat far apart from cricketers, they have 1-2 shots at glory in their lives and if even that is denied their entire life comes to waste.
