The 2010 ISSF World Cup in New Delhi has
been cancelled. The Organizing Committee of the New Delhi World Cup Stage
withdrew its application in an official communication to the ISSF.
The Indian Organizers explained the reason
of their renouncement mentioning the decision of the IOC on the Olympic Quota
Places distribution matter, stressing the fact that no Quota Places would be
distributed at the New Delhi World Cup Stage.
The IOC restated that International
Federations will only be able to distribute Olympic Quota Places starting from
two years prior the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games.
Therefore, no Quota Places will be assigned
during ISSF World Cup Stages, next years. The first Quota Places will be
awarded during the 50th ISSF World Championships in all events that will take
place in Munich from the 29th of July through the 11th of
August 2010.
The ISSF will evaluate substitutive
locations for the 2010 World Cup Stage in Rifle and Pistol events in the next
weeks.
