International School Sport FITA-ISF Agreement On 10 December 2008 an agreement was signed between the International School Sport Federation (ISF) and the International Archery Federation (FITA). ISF President Mr Jean Louis BOUJON and FITA Secretary General Mr Tom DIELEN—representing FITA President—signed this agreement at the CNOSF (National Olympic Committee) Headquarters in Paris, France. This is the start of cooperation between the two organisations to further develop archery in schools. The first concrete step in this cooperation will be the inclusion of archery in the programme of the ISF Gymnasiade 2009 (World Schools’ Championships) taking place in Doha, Qatar, on 7-12 December 2009. Two distinct competitions will be held in this major event: one for young archers who are in school and one for teams of schools that use archery as an optional sport but are not regular members of the National Archery Associations. For the second group a set of standard archery equipment will be used so that there is no difference between the children.
From left to right: Tom DIELEN, Jean Louis BOUJON and Thierry ZINTZ.
The agreement is the result of a discussion started a year ago between ISF and the FITA Youth Development Committee headed by Mr Thierry ZINTZ. Further details will be communicated in the coming months to the Member Associations of ISF and FITA. For further details on the Gymnasiade please have a look at www.isfsports.org.
FISU Temporary Office The International University Sport Federation (FISU) will set a temporary office at the Maison du Sport International in Lausanne renting one of the rooms within the FITA Office until 2010.

Virtual Olympic Congress Deadline Extension The IOC’s Executive Board and the 2009 Congress Commission have decided to extend the deadline for submissions to the Virtual Olympic Congress. Olympic Family and public contributors now have until 28 February 2009 to submit their views and ideas on the themes of the Congress. To date, the Virtual Olympic Congress has received 4,500 registrations and 700 contributions. The information gathered through the Virtual Olympic Congress will form the basis of discussions at the 13th Olympic Congress held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 3 to 5 October 2009.

Clean Sport Member Associations Statistical Reporting As per the provisions of the World Anti-Doping Code and the FITA Anti-Doping Rules (Book 1 Appendix 5, Article 14.2), Member Associations are requested to report to FITA on their anti-doping activities at the end of each year. In order to assist on this process for the year 2008, a brief questionnaire has been addressed to all Member Associations. It is also available in the section “Clean Sport/Anti-Doping News” of the FITA website. Member Associations are requested to send their response back to the FITA Anti-Doping Administrator, Françoise DAGOURET by 27 February 2009 the latest, by email at [email protected] or by fax at + 41 21 614 30 55. Member Associations in countries where Doping Control and/or Results Management responsibilities have been delegated or assigned by statute to a National Anti-Doping Agency or their National Olympic Committee are invited to contact them for assistance. Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE) With the new FITA Anti-Doping rules coming into force as of 1 January 2009, a number of changes will affect the TUE processes. However, discussion and coordination between the various stakeholders on the practical implementation of the new World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) TUE Standard, including the ADAMS TUE Module updates, are still on their way. Therefore, it was not possible to have the subsequent detailed information and instructions to Member Associations and Athletes ready in time for publication in the present newsletter. More news is to come in January on the FITA website and in the next newsletter, and in the meantime, should the case occur we invite all athletes to use the current TUE forms until further instructions. Françoise Dagouret, FITA Anti-Doping Administrator ([email protected]) will also be at your disposal as of 5 January 2009 to discuss any individual issue that may arise in relation to this transitional period.

Publications Target Magazine In order to reduce publication and mailing costs, FITA has decided to publish its magazine “The Target” twice in non-Olympic years, except for Olympic years where there will be three issues. Furthermore, each Member Association will only receive two free copies. If a Member Association needs additional copies, they will have to subscribe to the magazine. Archery fans can subscribe to three consecutive issues for 20.- Euros or 25.- USD (including post shipment) using the order form available in the section “Publications/Magazine” of the FITA website. Judges Newsletter The new issue of our Judges Newsletter is available from the section “News/Newsletter/Judges Newsletter/No. 70 – December 2008” of the FITA website.
Development Agent in West Africa We inform our Member Associations and Officers that the non-official (yahoo.fr) email address of Mr Paul ZINSOU—FITA Development Agent in West Africa—has been hacked and is used by someone trying to get money under his name. Until further notice, please make sure you only use his official FITA address [email protected] to contact him. Mission in Senegal From 13-17 December 2008, Mr Paul ZINSOU, FITA Development Agent in West Africa, went to Dakar, Senegal, for a mission in order to make an inventory of archery fixtures. Another goal of the visit was to negotiate with the Senegalese Olympic Committee (CNOS) for 2009 in favour of the structure in charge our sport, the programme of development of the local structure.

Indoor Archery FITA 3x20cm Vertical Indoor Faces FITA informs that the JVD vertical indoor faces can use and sell its old stock of vertical indoor faces. The FITA Rule Book states that the distance from centre to centre should “approximately” be 22 cm on a 3x20cm face. JVD has in recent years always printed their target faces with a centre separation of 21 cm. FITA has asked JVD to become compliant with the 22cm in future target faces, but since the current JVD faces have been used for many years without any issue, they can still be used until the old stock is finished.

Youth Olympic Games 2010 On 10 December 2008 the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved the sports competitions programme for the 1st Summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) to be held in Singapore in 2010, as well as the qualification system for each event. Some 3,594 athletes will compete in Singapore in 26 sports comprising 201 events. The number of sports in the programme is identical to the London 2012 programme. Each event has its own age group competing, either 15-16 (27 events), 16-17 (111 events) or 17-18 (63 events). The qualification system for each sport and discipline, which was prepared in close collaboration with each International Federation (IF), strives to guarantee participation of the best athletes in their age category and to respect the principle of universality by allowing NOCs to benefit from the “Universality Places”. Read the complete IOC Press Release in the section “OLYMPICS/Youth Olympics/Singapore 2010/News/10 December 2008” of the FITA website. The qualification system for the archery competition of the Youth Olympic Games 2010 will be published early January on the FITA website.
