A significant meeting took place today at the headquarters of the Italian National Olympic Committee in Rome, where International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) President Luciano Rossi and International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach gathered to discuss the future of the Olympic Movement.
The meeting underscores the growing ties between shooting sport and the IOC, reflecting a strong commitment to securing a place for the sport in the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games. As the sport of shooting continues to build on its legacy, discussions centered on the evolving landscape of the Olympic Games and the role shooting sport will play in it.
With Bach preparing to step down later this year, this meeting is particularly poignant, as it marks one of his final interactions as the IOC President before the election of a new leader. The ISSF remains focused on continuing its strong relationship with the IOC, highlighting the important work of fostering inclusivity and innovation within the Olympic Movement.
The outcome of this meeting marks a critical moment for shooting sport, especially as the IOC prepares for the transition to new leadership. As the countdown to the Brisbane 2032 Olympics begins, the ISSF and IOC are committed to ensuring the enduring legacy of shooting in the Olympic Games.
