ISSF WORLD CUP 2019 NEW DELHI,INDIA

We have just received the decision of the IOC through the ISSF with regards to the fate of the 16 Olympic Quotas available at the New Delhi, ISSF World Cup currently underway.

As you are aware, the two Pakistani athletes in question were both to compete in one event only, namely the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol Men’s event.

The IOC in its wisdom has decided to withhold the issuance of the two quotas available in this event and at the Same time cleared the issuance of the 14 other quotas available in other events. 

The Organizing Committee of the New Delhi World Cup wishes to unequivocally thank the ISSF President Vladimir Lisin, the ISSF Secretary General Alexander Ratner, the IOA President Dr. Narinder Batra, and the Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports Col (Retd.) RVS. Rathore for ensuring the best possible outcome to a vexed and complex scenario. Additionally we also thank both Raja Randhir Singh ji and Mrs Neeta Ambani ji for their council and efforts to ensure an outcome that to a large degree helps protect the hopes and aspirations of the 500 athletes for 61 nations here assembled.

With regards to the future, the NRAI is Committed to working with the ISSF, IOA, and the Ministry of sports to ultimately addressing the future consequences of this most peculiar and unprecedented scenario brought on by reasons beyond the regular control of the NRAI and the ISSF. Both the ISSF and the NRAI shall gracefully comply with the IOC’s findings and hope in a large measure to address the other points raised by the IOC
