    History of shooting at Olympics
  • Men's Shooting was included in Olympics games since the games' existence in 1896.

    Till 1900, pigeons were used as moving targests and after that replaced with clay targets.

    Shooting was removed from Olympics in 1928 and reintroduced in 1932 with 2 events. In 1967, women were included in the shooting event.

    As of now, there are 15 events- 9 for men, 6 for women.

    Why did IOC revoke ASC's Olympic qualifying status?

    Why did IOC revoke ASC's Olympic qualifying status?
  • IOC said the denial of visa to Yair Davidovich from Israel went against its non-discrimination principle of the Olympic Charter.

    Yair was the designated technical delegate from the ISSF, who was due to supervise the event on behalf of the ISSF.

    Another reason was the ban imposed on Kuwait Olympic Committee from all Games-related activities due to interference of Kuwait government.
