YOUNG FAN FROM SLOVAKIA WINS NANJING 2014 YOG MEDAL DESIGN COMPETITION

23-year-old Matej Čička's concept ("Track of Winners") will feature on the medals to be awarded in Nanjing, China in August 2014, at the second edition of the Summer Youth Olympic Games.
A young student and sports fan from Slovakia just won the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games Medal Design Competition, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced today.
An IOC jury chose Matej Čička's concept ("Track of Winners") from a pool of over 300 entries from 50 plus countries, describing it as "modern, fresh and dynamic".
"It was our school task to join this competition and design a medal," the 23-year-old of Slovakia said. "I was inspired by the athletes’ track which, to me, means the base of the Youth Olympic Games".
Thomas Heatherwick (the English designer behind the Olympic cauldron at London 2012) was in the judging panel, which also included Youth Olympic Games Ambassador Yelena Isinbaeva and other sports personalities.
Second and third place were respectively taken by 29-year-old of Spain Hugo Fernández ("A Hug From Lele!" was the name of his design) and Csaba Szitas, 28, from Slovakia ("Stripes of Victory").
The competition had started in September, giving creative people worldwide the chance to design the Youth Olympic Games medals, to be awarded in Nanjing, China from 16 to 28 August 2014, when the event (featuring a a 6-event Shooting program) will take place.
Matej Čička's first prize also includes a trip to the Games, tickets to the Opening Ceremony and a full collection of the medals featuring their design.
An accurate analysis of the winning concepts, as well as a gallery of the other designs who took part in the contest, can be found at the official website of the competition.

RIFLE RULES -Rule changes in the Second Edition of the Rule Book - Part III


I now present the changes that were introduced in rifle events rules
As in previous presentations, the changes can be easily identified because they are written in green letters.

In the rules for General Standard for Clothing Rifle (rule 7.5.1), due to the various changes introduced and the elimination of other rules which caused a major change in the numbering of the sub-items, to make it more understandable, I decided to put in these presentation the whole rule. The rules of the first edition that were deleted are: 7.5.1.2, 7.5.1.4, 7.5.1.5 and 7.5.1.6.

The positions of the Rifle 3x40 event, only the rule numbers have changed, due to the correction made in the second edition to the new shooting sequence, therefore only the rule numbers are green

Apesar de já ter publicado o artigo em Inglês, achei por bem traduzir o texto publicado pela ISSF (Top News) pela sua importância e ser de grande interesse de todos os jovens aficionados do esporte do tiro esportivo. A ISSF cada vez mais cria novas oportunidades para o desenvolvimento e aperfeiçoamento do esporte do tiro no mundo inteiro.
Thom Erik Syrdahl
A ISSF LANÇA A COPA JUNIOR, UM NOVO CAMPEONATO DA ISSF EM 2014.

A Federação Internacional de Tiro Esportivo anuncia a inauguração da Copa Junior ISSF, uma nova série Campeonatos com competições para atletas juniores nos eventos Olímpicos e Jogos Olímpicos da Juventude.

O Comitê Executivo da ISSF aprovou recentemente a criação de uma nova série de Campeonatos, a Copa Junior ISSF. O anúncio oficial da nova série e a seleção da primeira federação nacional da ISSF para sediar uma Copa do Júnior foi anunciado hoje pelo Presidente da ISSF, Sr. Olegário Vázquez Raña e o Secretário Geral Sr. Franz Schreiber.

“As Copas Júnior ISSF são parte vital de uma nova iniciativa maior da ISSF para promover mais ativamente o tiro júnior em nível mundial”, disse o presidente Vázquez Raña. "Incentivar mais jovens em mais países para participarem de nosso esporte, dando-lhes mais oportunidades de competirem em campeonatos internacionais de alto padrão, essa é a chave para o nosso futuro."

Secretário Geral Schreiber relatou, "em última análise, a ISSF espera sancionar e supervisionar as Copas Júnior em cada continente todos os anos. Os programas das Copas Júnior incluirão os 15 eventos olímpicos, mais os eventos de equipes mistas dos Jogos Olímpicos da Juventude. Programas também podem incluir eventos por equipes, outros eventos reconhecidos pela ISSF – ou os Esportes para Todos reconhecidos pela ISSF, como a Target Sprint (corrida e Tiro) ou Pistola de Ar 5 tiros. Competições Copa Júnior serão competições MQS se forem realizadas no cronograma de qualificação dos Jogos Olímpicos da Juventude ou Jogos Olímpicos. Eles estão abertos a todos os competidores juniores com até 20 anos de idade ou menos durante o ano de competição.”

"Temos o prazer de anunciar que a primeira Copa Junior ISSF será organizada em Suhl, Alemanha, de 26 maio a 1 junho de 2014, “continuou o Secretário-Geral”. “A Competição Internacional de Tiro Junior realizada anualmente em Suhl, Alemanha (IWK) já é uma competição júnior bem estabelecida que tenha sido realizado por muitos anos; em 2013 esta competição recebeu 550 atletas juniores de 40 países. O Centro de Tiro Suhl é um grande palco com muitos espectadores e suporte de mídia e terá seu alvos eletrônicos renovados em 2014. A ISSF espera poder cooperar com a Federação Tiro Alemã para lançar a nova série Copas Junior ISSF em Suhl”.

O ISSF planeja expandir a série de Copas Júnior selecionando organizadores adicionais para 2015. As Federações Filiadas a ISSF interessadas ​​em sediar Copas Júnior em 2015 ou nos anos seguintes devem enviar suas candidaturas à sede da ISSF. A ISSF está buscando organizadores com locais que tenham pelo menos 60 postos de tiro de 10m e 50m e 40 postos 25m para Carabina e Pistola, com alvos eletrônicos. Copa Junior de Tiro ao Prato devem ter pelo menos 3 três penadas. "A ISSF quer que as Copas Junior cumpram com os padrões semelhantes aos estabelecidos para as Copas Mundiais para garantir as melhores competições possíveis para os atletas juniores”, acrescentou o presidente Vázquez.

O ISSF nomeará um Delegado Técnico para cada Copa Junior. O vice-presidente Gary Anderson será o Delegado Técnico para a primeira Copa Junior em Suhl. Ele comentou: "Copas Júnior são realmente muito importantes para o futuro do nosso esporte. Essas competições internacionais adicionais para Juniores irão incentivar ainda mais os jovens a se tornarem mais participativos no tiro".

Os Regulamentos da ISSF para as Copas júnior exigirão dos organizadores selecionados a proporem júris internacionais. São necessários controles de doping limitados. Os organizadores podem cobrar uma taxa de inscrição reduzida, um máximo de 70 euros. Federações Nacionais que desejarem obter mais informações sobre as Copas Júnior da ISSF devem contatar o Gerente de Eventos ISSF na sede da ISSF.

Outras iniciativas da ISSF para o desenvolvimento dos Juniores, além das Copas Júnior é o total apoio da ISSF aos Jogos Olímpicos da Juventude, inclusive adicionando as Finais no Campeonato Mundial de Júniores de 2014 e incentivando as Federações Nacionais da ISSF para inscreverem juniores nas suas duas vagas fora de competição nas Copas Mundiais de 2014. Pela primeira vez, desde quando os eventos juniores foram adicionados ao programa do Campeonato do Mundo da ISSF em 1994, os eventos juniores nas disciplinas olímpicas em Granada irão incluir Finais.

"Esperamos que estas novas iniciativas de desenvolvimento da juventude e, especialmente, a primeira Copa Junior ISSF de 2014 em Suhl tenha o total apoio das nossas federações membros. Nós estamos confiantes de que um programa júnior ISSF mais vigoroso nos transforme numa ISSF mais forte", concluiu o presidente da ISSF, Vázquez Raña.

ISSF TO LAUNCH NEW JUNIOR CUP CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2014



19/12/2013
ISSF TO LAUNCH NEW JUNIOR CUP CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2014
The International Shooting Sport Federation announces the inauguration of ISSF Junior Cups, a new Championship series featuring competitions for junior athletes in Olympic and Youth Olympic Games events.
The ISSF Executive Committee recently approved the establishment of a new ISSF Junior Cup Championship series. The official announcement of the new series and the selection of the first ISSF national federation to host a Junior Cup came today from ISSF President Olegario Vázquez Raña and Secretary General Franz Schreiber.

“ISSF Junior Cups are a vital part of a major new ISSF initiative to more actively promote junior shooting on a worldwide basis,” President Vázquez Raña said.  “Encouraging more youth in more countries to participate in our sport by giving them more opportunities to compete in high standard international competitions is a key to our future.”

Secretary General Schreiber reported, “the ISSF ultimately expects to sanction and supervise Junior Cups on each continent every year.  Junior Cup programs will include the 15 Olympic events plus the Youth Olympic Games Mixed Team events.  Programs may also include team events, other ISSF-recognized events or ISSF-recognized Sport for All events such as Target Sprint or Five-Shot Air Pistol.  Junior Cup competitions will be MQS competitions if conducted in the qualification timeline of the Youth Olympic Games or Olympic Games.  They are open to all junior competitors who are age 20 or younger during the competition year.”

“We are pleased to announce that the first ISSF Junior Cup will be organized in Suhl, Germany on 26 May to 1 June 2014,” the Secretary General continued. “Suhl’s annual Junior International Shooting Competition (IWK) is already a well-established junior competition that has been held for many years; in 2013 this competition hosted 550 junior athletes from 40 nations. The Suhl Shooting Center is a great venue with many spectators and media support and it will be newly equipped with electronic targets in 2014. The ISSF looks forward to cooperating with the German Shooting Federation to launch the new ISSF Junior Cup series there.”

The ISSF plans to expand the Junior Cup series by selecting additional organizers for 2015. ISSF Member Federations interested in hosting Junior Cups in 2015 or future years are encouraged to apply to ISSF Headquarters. The ISSF is seeking organizers with venues that have at least 60 10m, 60 50m and 40 25m rifle-pistol firing points, with electronic targets. Junior Cup shotgun bids should have at least three ranges.  “The ISSF wants Junior Cups to fulfill standards similar to those established for World Cups to guarantee the best possible competitions for junior athletes,” President Vazquez added.

The ISSF will appoint a Technical Delegate for each Junior Cup. Vice President Gary Anderson will be the Technical Delegate for first Junior Cup in Suhl.  He commented, “Junior Cups are indeed very important for the future of our sport.  These additional international junior competition opportunities will inspire even more youths to become active in shooting.”

ISSF regulations for Junior Cups require selected organizers to propose international juries. Limited doping controls are required. Organizers may charge a reduced entry fee of a maximum of EUR 70.  National Federations that want more information about ISSF Junior Cups should contact the ISSF Event Manager at ISSF Headquarters.

Other ISSF Junior development initiatives, in addition to Junior Cups and full ISSF support for the Youth Olympic Games, include adding Finals for 2014 World Championship junior events and encouraging ISSF National Federations to enter juniors in their two out-of-competition entry places in 2014 World Cups. For the first time since junior events were added to the ISSF World Championship program in 1994, junior events in the Olympic disciplines in Granada will include Finals.

“We hope these new youth development initiatives and especially the first 2014 ISSF Junior Cup in Suhl will have the full support of our member federations. We are confident that a stronger ISSF junior program will bring all of us a stronger ISSF,” ISSF President Vázquez Raña concluded.
