Russian Sports Minister said that No Plans to Bid for 2024 Summer Olympics

Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said that  Russia has no tactics to offer for facilitating the 2024 Summer Olympic Games as it needs to concentrate on planning for the 2018 FIFA World Cup rather.
St. Petersburg senator Georgy Poltavchenko said a year ago that Russia's second biggest city, which has around 70 percent of the framework required for the Olympics, may offer for the Summer Games amid the up and coming offering campaign.


Mutko said  that In this way, Russia has no plans to participate in the offering for the Summer Olympic Games. We held the Winter Games in Sochi and our primary assignment at present is to hold the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and the Universiade in Krasnoyarsk in 2019. In 2020, St. Petersburg will host diversions of the UEFA Euro 2020.


The National Olympic Committees have until mid-September to send in their applications for facilitating the 2024 Summer Olympics Games. Russia is at present planning to stage a large group of prominent brandishing occasions, including the 2015 World Aquatics Championships, to be held in the city of Kazan this mid year, the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the nation's first-ever Winter University Games, booked for March 2019 in Krasnoyarsk.

Enid Sung Targets Rio Olympic Qualifications

Enid Sung can go to the World Championships with the national team later in the year if she finishes in top two at the national level. She can qualify to Rio Olympics for a top finish there. The 20-year-old said she had a shoulder problem last year and she has just recovered from it and if she performs well in the event then she can be there but it depends upon what happens on the day. Sung finished first in the ball, ribbon and clubs events and third in the hoop event at the recent State Championships.


She won the Rhythmic Gymnastics Senior All Around State Champion award due to hard work and the Australian Gymnastics Championships from May 18 to May 30 in Melbourne will see her as top performer. Meriden Rhythmic Gymnastics Center is her training place and she manages between tough training and full time study. She said she is a full time student of Sydney University and so she wants to qualify for the World University Games also.


The rhytmatic gymnast further said although qualification of Olympics and Commonwealth games is big achievement but the World Uni Games qualification will also be a big job. She further explained she trains for four hours in 5 or 6 days per week and she do her own training a couple of days per week. Sung has been performing in gymnastics for about 10 years and has already represented Australia successfully at the Youth Olympic Festival in 2009 and was contender at the World Championships in 2010. 


Gymnastics Organization Wants to Change Qualification Rules of Olympic

The International Federation of Gymnastics wants the participation of more countries to compete and promote second layer of tournaments. The body wants to change the Olympic qualification rules to meet this objective. The FIG will vote to reduce the size of team of artisitic gymnastics from 5 to 4 at the Tokyo Olympics. There were six members of a team at the 2008 Olympics. The governing body said 12 spaces for men and 12 for women would become available with this proposal complying with quota of 98 of IOC for each gender.


Event specialists of advanced countries could fill those spaces which could result in two more places and thus smaller nations were unable to qualify for the team. The 2012 London games witnessed 58 nations participating and the International Olympic Committee wants the participation of even more under its universality policy. FIG said that continental events and its World Cup series would be included under the proposed rules and smaller championships will thrive with this change.


FIG added results of several competitions will determine the qualification of gymnasts under the new system. World championships in the year before the Olympics and the subsequent test event in the host country are the stages for team qualification currently. Winning world medals and the rankings at the test event can help individual gymnasts to qualify. 

Women to Lead Olympic and Paralympic Squad of Australia

The Olympic and Paralympic sides of Australia departing for Rio de Janiero in 2016 will be led both by women. Kate McLoughlin will work as Paralympics Chef de Mission next September. McLoughlin originally was named Chef of the Winter Paralympic team of Australia in 2014 but she withdrew due to serious family illness. But McLoughlin has the honour now to work as the first Chef de Mission of a Paralympic team. Kitty Chiller has been appointed as Chef of Olympic team of Australia in Rio. It is interesting to note that both Chiller and McLoughlin were Olympics and Paralympic deputy chefs at London 2012 respectively.


McLoughlin played a key role for Australia to finish 5th on medal table of London initially parallel with Ukraine for 4th place with 32 gold but the Ukraine had won one more silver medal. President of APC Glenn Tasker said planning, expertise and leadership of McLoughlin will come to the role. Tasker added Kate is the ideal leader of Australian team because she can excel in the unique and challenging environment of games due to her leadership skills, work ethic and ability. He further said APC has confidence in her skills because she knows how to run a comprehensive game plan.


McLoughlin said Chef de Mission is a huge honour and a responsibility. She added team is already strong one because the results issued by Sports Commission of Australia are encouraging and team is able to accept any challenge. McLoughlin said there is much excitement because seven networks are to broadcast the Rio Paralympic games. Olympic Charter governs both Olympic and Paralympic movements which is a philosophy combining balanced qualities of body, will and mind. Both Olympism and Paraolympism unite sports with culture and education to derive joy found in effort.

Tom Daley has prepared his plan for Rio Summer Olympics 2016

Tom Daley is balancing strength, speed and suppleness in his quest for Olympic gold. The Plymouth diver celebrated his FINA World Series gold medal in the men's 10 metres  platform at the London Aquatics Centre earlier this month with a takeaway. But the London 2012 bronze mentalist is allowing himself few blowouts, with his focus on delivering in 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.


Daley said that who moved from Devon to London in January 2014 to work alongside Jane Figueiredo and to make sure he is doing everything. I have no regrets when he stand on the platform. I think that he is closer to Summer Olympics 2016. 


He moved to London, had a change in coach, change in strength and conditioning programme, dietary advice. He have lost a lot of weight. He have been able to get in better shape. He is doing loads of different things, strength programmes, to make me jump higher. He looks physically leaner since winning Commonwealth Games gold at Glasgow 2014.

Israel Looks First European Games as Stage of Preparation of Olympics

The first European Games are going to start in Baku from June 12-28 featuring more than 6,000 athletes from 50 nations participating in 20 sports which excites secretary general Gili Lustig of Israel Olympic Committee. Lustig is working for the preparations of the event. Israel will participate in it with its largest ever delegation of 142 athletes. Lustig thinks this tournament can give invaluable experience to athletes of Israel for Rio Olympics.


He said this offers real rehearsal for the events like judo and gymnastics of Rio.He presented example of yarden Gerbi who is former world champion but has never participated in events of this kind. Lustig is focusing on the group of athletes who are preparing for the qualification of Rio. Athletes can either get ranking points in games like judo and taekwondo as part of qualification process while participants of table tennis, shooting and triathlon can secure place in Rio.


If participants of swimming and athletics events set the Olympic qualifying time standards then they can grab a spot in the Olympics. European Championships and European Games will share this year’s winners which adds to the importance of these events. Organizers of Baku have provided facilities of Olympic standards to ensure first ever European Games end in success. Many of Israel’s athletes will have varied hopes in the competition but most of them will be considering it as mile stone in the way of Olympics.

Brazil Football Olympic Team Hires Coach Dunga Again

Brazilian Olympic football team will work under the coaching of Dunga again on home ground at Rio Olympics 2016. Dunga will replace coach Alexandre Gallo to lead Brazil to win gold in Olympic football for the second time. Brazil could only win a bronze in Beijing under the current coach’s combined senior job and the Olympics duties in 2008. Brazil reached the final of London Olympics under Mano Menezes in the presence of star players like Neymar, Thiago Silva and Oscar but they were defeated by Mexico.


Gallo was appointed coach of Under-20 team of Brazil for next year’s Olympic games. Gallo was removed from national set up because he could lead the youth side of Brazil to South American Youth Football Championship’s fourth place only earlier this year. Dunga was given the job for senior team in July last year after Brazil had disastrous world cup at home ground. Dunga has won all of his games since resuming the duty as coach.

Tokyo Olympics Invite Applications for the Addition of New Sports

Officials of Olympics have started a procedure where organizations of the sports of the world can apply to include new sport events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics which can result in adding and dropping of some games. The International Olympic Committee initially opened an application period on Monday for the addition of new sports to Tokyo Olympics. It has been controversial matter for the IOC to finalize the list of Olympic sports for many years. The committee decided to review the list of 26 Olympic sports after the London 2012 and imposed a cap of 28.


Wrestling was initially dropped but then added again on an IOC vote because there was no sport to replace with it while squash and baseball/softball were not included in the final shortlist. The IOC however decided to review the limit of 28 games in December and new sports are being considered to be added. The Tokyo organizing committee will announce a shortlist on June 22 of the applications of 33 international sports bodies submitted before 8 June. It is expected, the governing body will not make its final decision until its meeting in August 2016 ahead of Rio Olympics. 


Sports fans and contenders want cricket, cue sports, roller skating, baseball/softball, climbing, karate, squash, skateboarding and surfing to be included in the already existing sports list for Tokyo Olympics. There is more chance to include those games which are popular among the host nation of 2020 Olympics. The Rio Olympics were also initially missing a couple of games which were added later on which include golf, rugby sevens and kitesurfing. The addition of new sports to Rio Olympics and Tokyo Olympics will boost the motto and values of Olympics attracting more fans to the world of sports.

Cheyenne Cousineau Hopes for Olympics after Earning All American Award

Cheyenne Cousineau does not know her score at the NCAA championships’ platform diving even after several weeks and she knows only she has secured third place at All-America honors. She said she was concentrating on the procedure of her dives because her coach demanded to focus on how she was performing and not on the result. A sports psychiatrist was helping Cousineau to sharpen her focus. She also told a University Miami teamfellow that she remained under the water intentionally because she did not want to hear the announced score. She adopted the same technique at the NCAA meet.


Cousineau scored 318.05 points at NCAA finals. Cousineau said on this she was able to do some good dives as she focused on some key points taught by her coach and she is happy to secure third place. Cousineau has earned All-America status second time because she finished fourth in 2013. Her college career has finished but she will continue to dive to chase her dream of playing 2016 Olympics with trials starting in Russia in a few weeks.


Cousineau wants to participate in synchronized diving at Olympics but she is not finding a partner at the moment. She said on this, 10-meter synchronized diving has been a problem in the U.S. last year because they were trying to find a match. She added she was really anxious about it but a synchro camp is coming up where she can hopefully find a partner. Cousineau’s performance at NCAA finals should make her thinking she can perform not only in synchronized diving in Olympics.

Olympic best women swimmers

When the discussion of Olympic credentials comes up, the names of Dara Torres, Jenny Thompson and Natalie Coughlin are frequently mentioned first. Over the course of their splendid careers, each of the aforementioned women have captured 12 Olympic medals. Yet, when individual titles are measured, Coventry and Egerszegi hold the advantage, and this is an achievement not lost Coventry.



With the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro only 15 months away, Coventry is working tirelessly under the guidance of David Marsh at SwimMac Carolina to land Olympic medal No. 8. Based on the way she has raced recently, in what has widely been deemed a comeback, there’s reason to believe Coventry will be a medal factor in at least a few events in Brazil.

Tokyo’s compact Games go beyond the bounds

The Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020 must be 'compact'. The most compact Games in living memory. Compact was among the enchantment words, when in 2013, the International Olympic Committee settled on Tokyo as the 2020 host city. It is a serious guarantee that Tokyo has made the universe of game.



Calling the Olympic Games "compact" portrays a concentrated event occurring in a restricted land area, which is plainly characterized for the candidates and fans present. You are right amidst it. You are a piece of it at all times. You don't wander in from the outside with a specific end goal to partake or watch the event for a couple of hours and afterward backpedal to the outside world.



The fundamental thought is that few of the Summer Olympic Games have been too noisy and scattered. This time, we will be taken back to the sentimental thought of a united Olympic town, where competitors from everywhere throughout the world are mingling, becoming acquainted with each other crosswise over nationalities. It must be anything but difficult to get starting with one spot then onto the next and it must be focal and the observers must experience the Summer Olympic climate when they have demonstrated their plentifully acquired tickets and have entered the negligible group.

Beijing Medalist Priscilla Lopes-Schliep of Whitby Eyes Rio Olympics

Most Canadians know acme of Lopes-Schliep’s career. She astonished the nation by winning a bronze in the 100 meter hurdles, which was first track-and-field medal of the country in a dozen years, at 2008 Beijing Olympics. Bronze medal was result of training and concentration of many years. She still dreams the Olympics at 32 and being mother of two young daughters. She has maintained her shape amazingly but her coach is away at a distance of 22 hour drive with the non-availability of proper track nearby which makes the task difficult. She said if she has tracks and indoors for training, then there is possibility of Rio participating.


She added if she jumps and trains again she would feel as she did it before provided she has good stretch and she knows how to hurdle. She said further if she organizes here then it can become a reality. Lopes-Schliep will not be able to take part in Pan Am Games in Toronto this summer to resume his athletic career. Participation in such a high level contest in her homeland would have been loved by her but she is busy in her personal life where his brother’s wedding is coming in March and she has to look after her two younger daughters.


The medalist further explained she is talking to her agent to see if there is anything competing for her involvement but she added she has not been able to get indoor practice so it will be difficult. The medal winner further said that she has trained a lot before so her body can jump back to it but for the level she wants to attain, she wants to try her best and does not want to perform poorly. She has belief in herself regardless how Rio evolves. She said God has the knowledge of the best and she is doing what she can and the way will be shown according to the situation. 

Women’s Canoe Out of 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio

It may not appear like it, but rather Women’s ski bouncing in the Sochi Olympics and Women’s kayak hustling have a great deal in like manner. Not just are both hung on water mediums and include adrenaline, they likewise have attempted to be incorporated in the Olympic Summer  games.



Women’s ski bouncing makes its Olympic introduction in Sochi, 90 years after men initially hopped in the Games. The street incorporated an unsuccessful claim recorded by contenders in front of the 2010 Vancouver Games. A Canadian court decided that the International Olympic Committee, not Vancouver coordinators, was the main body with the power to choose. In April 2011, the IOC at long last voted to let the ladies bounce in Sochi.



Women’s  kayak racers have confronted a much more tumultuous way to Olympic consideration. The International Canoe Federation (ICF) as of late reported that it would push to have ladies' C-1 slalom and C-1 200m sprint included in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Numerous racers, on the other hand, including 19-year-old Australian world C-1W champion Jessica Fox, are not cheerful. They would rather the ICF pushed to incorporate ladies' kayak in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.
