Extractions: KABUL, Afghanistan He looks out from his office window onto the cracked, empty stadium below, and he points to the goal. "There," says the head of Afghanistan's Olympic committee, "is where they hanged people." Now, in the new Afghanistan, where peace is a political mantra and most ills are blamed on the last guys who ran the place, the soccer field in Kabul Sports Stadium is used for something different. These days, they use it to play soccer. In a land buffeted by 23 years of war, sports was hardly a priority. But this week, as Afghanistan plans to send its first delegation in three years to an international Olympic meeting, the athletes of an isolated country have a reason, however small, to hope. "We are an independent country again, and we are ready to compete," the Olympic chief, Anwar Jekdalek, said Saturday. "All the world recognizes Afghanistan again." It's not quite that easy. The International Olympic Committee still hasn't reinstated Afghanistan, which it barred in 1999 in part because the harsh Islamic rule of the Taliban militia prevented women from competing.

Extractions: UIT Shooting - Aiming For Athens Home Comment Form The Events Pictures ... About the Author The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), formerly the UIT is the governing body of the International Amateur Shooting Sports at international and world-wide levels of competition, including World Championships and the Olympic Games. USA Shooting is the national governing body for ISSF-style shooting in the United States by authority of the US Olympic Committee and the ISSF. In the Olympics, the shooting sports continue to draw the third-greatest number of countries and impose participation quotas to keep competitors to a manageable number. One of the greatest surges in participation came in 1984, when separate women's events were first added to the Olympic program. The ISSF recognizes a huge number of different shooting events in rifle, pistol, shotgun, and running target though only 17 events are featured in the Olympic Games. While there are great differences between disciplines, all rely on stamina and concentration to successfully shoot so many rounds with such precision. The sport's reliance on such skills makes shooting a sport in which size and age, unlike athletics or gymnastics, have little bearing on success. Oscar Swahn from Sweden was an amazing 72 years old in 1920 when he won his last shooting medal to become the oldest medalist in the history of the Games. The youngest shooter to win a medal was 16 year old Konstantin Lukashik from Belarus, who won a Gold medal in 1992. It is not uncommon for Olympic shooters to have been training for more than 20 years. Due to the competitive longevity of the sport, several shooters have competed in four or more Games.
British Olympic Association Nongovernment funded organisation relying solely on the support of commercial partners and fundraising. It provides elite level expertise for the 35 olympic sports (excepting pistol shooting) in Great Britain, assisting in the preparation and planning for the GB team for both Winter and Summer Games. http://www.olympics.org.uk
