ISSF DRESS CODE
As we've started already a new year of
activities of the sport of shooting and let us not forget the rules which,
although do not directly treat the techniques and procedures of the shooting sport,
but are equally important because they deal with the appropriate way athletes
and officers must present themselves properly dressed in front of the public as
an important Olympic Sport, so we can’t forget to comply with the ISSF Dress
Code which I’m posting again on this blog.
A new rule, printed in red color has been added
to the Edition 2013 (2nd Print 01/2014), important to the knowledge of
the Athletes
6.7.6.2 During competitions, athletes must wear shoes that comply
with these Rules. Athletes may not wear sandals of any
type or remove their shoes (with or without socks).
with these Rules. Athletes may not wear sandals of any
type or remove their shoes (with or without socks).
ISSF Rule General Technical
Rule 6.7.6 states:
“It is the responsibility
of athletes, coaches and officials to appear on the range dressed in a manner
appropriate for a public sports event. Clothing worn by athletes and officials
must comply with the ISSF Dress Code. Copies are available from ISSF
Headquarters.”
This ISSF Rule is the basis
for the ISSF Dress Code that is provided in this
document.

GENERAL
All sports are concerned
with the image they present to the public and media. Olympic sports, in
particular, are judged by whether their athletes and officials present professional images and are a credit to
their sports. Shooting’s ability to grow as a sport and attract new
participants and fans as well as Shooting’s future status in the Olympic
movement are affected by how its athletes and officials appear to the public
and media. The ISSF established the ISSF Dress Code to provide specific
regulations and guidelines for the implementation of
Rule 6.7.6.
