Overnight, the International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF) submitted an Expression of Interest to the Victorian Government and Commonwealth Games Federation for consideration of the inclusion of Shooting in the 2026 Commonwealth Games program under the Phase 2 intake of sports.
The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) has today announced that Shooting will be included in the Victoria 2026 Commonwealth Games event program. The ISSF received confirmation that Shooting's expression of interest (EOI) had been successful and that Clay Target (Trap), 10m Air Pistol, 10m Air Rifle (Small-Bore) and Para Shooting would be included in the competition program for Victoria 2026. Unfortunately, the proposed Full-Bore event could not be accommodated despite being part of Shooting's EOI.
(Translated) Anyone who experienced the World Championships in Sport Shooting in Cairo got to know the chaos. Under the direction of the current leadership of the world federation, many things did not work. The schedules were constantly changed, some competitions were not even on the programme. The second round of prone shooting mixed was scheduled for 5 p.m. - by then it is pitch dark in Cairo, the targets are black. And, worst of all, the rules have not been clarified. In case of a ring tie, the number of inner tens was used as a priority, the rules state the better series. Who comes fifth in sport pistol and rapid fire pistol, i.e. who is the best eliminated after the two four-man semi-finals, was decided according to common practice, there is no written rule. Note: this is about quota place winners. Lawsuits could follow. This is all leadership weakness, apart from the totally inappropriate tone adopted by the ISSF leadership, up to and including massive threats. New elections will be held at the end of November, in the Egyptian resort of Sharm El Sheikh. The choice of location and accommodation at ISSF expense in a holiday resort hotel is a scandalous one. But in the meantime things have become serious for the shooting sport. If it is not clear who will win Olympic quota places, it is a case for the IOC - and thus the sport is increasingly in danger of being excluded from the Olympics. There is a glimmer of hope. Luciano Rossi of Italy is standing for election as Lisin's opponent. His credible promise is: respect, transparency, reliability and urgently needed reforms. Everything that has been there before and that should be self-evident. Whether the wind of change will blow through southern Egypt in November remains to be seen. It is desirable.
