Extractions: UIT Shooting - Aiming For Athens Home Comment Form The Events Pictures ... About the Author The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), formerly the UIT is the governing body of the International Amateur Shooting Sports at international and world-wide levels of competition, including World Championships and the Olympic Games. USA Shooting is the national governing body for ISSF-style shooting in the United States by authority of the US Olympic Committee and the ISSF. In the Olympics, the shooting sports continue to draw the third-greatest number of countries and impose participation quotas to keep competitors to a manageable number. One of the greatest surges in participation came in 1984, when separate women's events were first added to the Olympic program. The ISSF recognizes a huge number of different shooting events in rifle, pistol, shotgun, and running target though only 17 events are featured in the Olympic Games. While there are great differences between disciplines, all rely on stamina and concentration to successfully shoot so many rounds with such precision. The sport's reliance on such skills makes shooting a sport in which size and age, unlike athletics or gymnastics, have little bearing on success. Oscar Swahn from Sweden was an amazing 72 years old in 1920 when he won his last shooting medal to become the oldest medalist in the history of the Games. The youngest shooter to win a medal was 16 year old Konstantin Lukashik from Belarus, who won a Gold medal in 1992. It is not uncommon for Olympic shooters to have been training for more than 20 years. Due to the competitive longevity of the sport, several shooters have competed in four or more Games.

Extractions: Step by step to "ISSF" History of the "UIT" Shooting with the rifle, pistol and shotgun has been practiced in many countries since the Middle Ages. During the 19th Century, however, shooting also developed into a sport: Associations, federations, councils, confederations, unions or organizations were formed in some countries, using different words to describe the alliance of shooters in clubs or the alliance of clubs in local, regional or national organizations. History books report of shooting competitions in some European countries as early as the 11th Century, but the modern concept of our sport began in the 19th Century with the development of shooting equipment, and several of the present day national federations were formed. At the first Olympic Games of the modern times in the year 1896 in Athens, nine different sports were placed on the program by the International Olympic Committee, and the shooting sport had the highest number of participants in these first Olympic Games. The first world championship in our sport was organized in 1897 in France, and eight national shooting federations founded the "Union Internationale des Federations et Associations Nationales de Tir" on 7th July 1907 in Zurich, Switzerland. This Union was dissolved in 1915 during World War I but was reorganized in 1921 under the new name of "Union Internationale de Tir", also using the initials, UIT.

Extractions: The Gunperson's Authoritative Internet Information Resource. No Pain - No Spain With Sydney 2000 already fading from the public consciousness I am struck by the inequities, the triumphs, tragedies and paradoxes that were seen in these games. We saw the magic of human beings doing the impossible. Who can forget the cherubic giant of a man, in a sport virtually unknown in this country, soundly defeating a legend who had not lost a match in thirteen years. But we also saw the lowest of the low. It truly torques me... in these days of paid professional Olympic athletes... to know what the shooters (and Greco-Roman wrestlers) go through. Maybe if they win a medal they'll have a little sponsor money from a gun or ammo company but for the most part they do it in the truest Olympic tradition of amateur athletics. I want to vomit when I see the "dream team" jiveassin' around the track at the opening ceremonies... or a runner taunting the people behind at the finish line. It is a good thing I don't run that show. If I did the entire 4x400-relay team would forever be banned from wearing anything with "USA" on it. They presented to countless millions of people around the world an image that defines ugly American
