The IOC Executive Board suspended the IOA on 4 December 2012 due to its failure to comply with the Olympic Charter and as a protective measure against government interference in the IOA’s election process. The main purpose of today’s meetings was to explore the possibility for the suspended IOA to hold free, fair, democratic and transparent elections on the basis of a revised IOA constitution and the Olympic Charter, with no outside interference, that could pave the way for the IOC to consider lifting its suspension of the IOA. Sports Minister Singh gave strong guarantees and a clear commitment that the government of India will fully respect the principle of autonomy of the Olympic Movement.

The FWG called for the establishment of an Olympic Movement monitoring system based on the one in place during the London 2012 Olympic Games that would be made available to the International Federations during major competitions to share information regarding suspicious betting activity. The FWG also called on national sports betting regulatory authorities to strengthen ties between themselves as well as with sports organisations and betting operators. “Irregular and illegal betting attacks the very foundations of sport, and our efforts to combat the threat require the commitment of a number of important partners, specifically governments,” said International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge, who chaired Tuesday’s meeting.
These commitments, which apply to the more than 200 countries where the company does business, are to: 1) Offer low- or no- calorie beverage options in every market 2) Provide transparent nutrition information, featuring calories on the
front of all of its packages 3) Help get people moving by supporting physical activity programmes in every country where it does business 4) Market responsibly, including no advertising to children under 12 anywhere in the world “Obesity is today’s most challenging health issue, affecting nearly every family and community across the globe. It is a global societal problem which will take all of us working together and doing our part,” said Muhtar Kent, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Coca-Cola Company. “We are committed to being part of the solution, working closely with partners from business, government and civil society

Henrik Stenson was clinging to a narrow lead in the weather-hit third round of the Players Championship on Saturday, trying to gain some space over Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods.Stenson was two-under through eight holes, and one shot in front of Garcia and Woods, when thunderstorms halted play for just under two hours on the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course. Sweden’s Stenson had birdied the fourth and sixth holes to get to 11-under for the tournament, with Woods and Garcia both at 10-under when play was stopped.Overnight leader Garcia nabbed his first birdie of the day after the break, picking up a stroke at the ninth hole to get back to even par for the day and 11-under for the tournament.Stenson kept his nose in front however, with a birdie of his own at the ninth.Woods remained at 10-under through nine holes, with one birdie and one bogey.US veteran Jeff Maggert was in the clubhouse on nine-under 207 after a six-under 66.bb/gph
I joined Twitter after the 2010 Olympic Winter Games so that I can stay in touch with people who follow the sport as well as family and friends.

Demonstrating the true YOG spirit, the students from the local Gjøvik University College have been asked to imagine the emblem and overall “look” of Lillehammer 2016. And the clock is ticking! These young designers will have to present their final ideas in front of a jury in mid-June.
The event will include a tour of the Athletics Stadium, where Yelena will conduct a master class with young athletes, followed by a press conference held at the headquarters of the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee (NYOGOC). During the press conference, you will be given the opportunity to address Yelena on her thoughts and expectations for this second edition of the Summer Youth Olympic Games, and her ongoing support to YOG athletes who competed at the first Summer Youth Olympic Games in Singapore 2010, for which she also served as a YOG Ambassador. Date: Sunday 19 May, 12.30 – 3 p.m
Three years later, the 19-year-old athlete is not only Australia’s current under-20s 110-metre hurdles record holder, but in July, having recently been selected to join Athletics Australia’s 28-strong squad, he will be representing his country in the 100m and 200m events at the 27th Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia, which sees over 13,500 university students from over 170 countries compete across 27 different sports. The YOG graduate is certainly one to watch, and while we look forward to seeing his future achievements, watch Nicholas’ winning performance at Singapore 2010:
