  • Swedish Shooting Sport Federation's Answer Regarding the ISSF Program
    Stockholm December 14th, 2016 Swedish Shooting Sport Federation’s answer regarding the ISSF program proposals to the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020 ISSF Headquarter Bavariaring 21 D-80336 München Germany The Swedish Shooting Sport Federation advise the ISSF Ad-Hoc Committee to withdraw the proposal of changes of Olympic Shooting events in Tokyo 2020 because of the far-reaching consequences for our shooting sport, and for the shooters and future organizers of the Championships and World Cup events. We approve and are positive to a gender-neutral competition at the Olympics and we realize that we as a sport need to be open to make our sport more spectator-friendly. However, we believe that the program proposed by the Ad-Hoc Committee does not favor our sport and our shooters. The positive benefits of the proposal from an audience perspective is very limited. If ISSF still want to make changes in the proposed direction, we prefer other types of changes that we believe will benefit the shooting sport in a better way. Our alternative proposals are described at the end of this letter. Mixed teams in our events We can understand that mixed competitions can bring a positive dimension for the spectators in some sports. We are, however, doubtful as to whether the shooting is a sport in which mixed teams adds something extra in terms of pure experience for the spectators. Shooting belongs to a group of very few sports which can drive the gender issue even further and introduce completely gender-neutral competitions. It may not be possible in all events where the physical conditions between men and women can play a major role, but in most disciplines it is quite easy to implement.
