Archery in Commonwealth Games 2010

I'm not sure how official this is -- I thought the formal decision wasn't going to be made until February 2007 -- but good news anyway:

Games-Tennis and archery included in 2010 Commonwealth Games
Sat Nov 18, 2006 3:26 PM GMT

MUMBAI, India, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Tennis and archery have been added to the list of disciplines for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, a top Indian sports official said on Saturday.
"The executive board has cleared men's and women's tennis and archery," Randhir Singh, secretary general of the Indian Olympic Association told Reuters.
The Commonwealth Games Federation met in Kuala Lumpur where India also pushed for the addition of billiards and snooker, which were not approved.
The inclusion of tennis and archery increases India's medal prospects after they finished fourth with 22 gold medals in the last Games in Melbourne behind Australia, England and Canada.

That is great news, and will hopefully give a boost to archery in the UK.

While we were in India, they mentioned that the decision would be made in two weeks' time in Malaysia. I guess this was the decision they were referring to.
I'd have preferred to see billiards over tennis though! But I guess I have to be thankful for the inclusion of archery!

Hooray for the Commonwealth (and thanks again for the archers who proved it could be done).

That's excellent news about the inclusion of archery in 2010, it can only be good for the sport.

Now would be an opportune time for the Archery Associations of all home countries (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales) to agree on the rules for eligibility and make a clear joint statement which would clarify the position for all archers. This would prevent any archer having a false hope of representing their country, and making the announcement now rather in 4 years time will prevent anyone being disappointed nearer the time.

Lets hope it's in the Commonwealth Games to stay.

As I understand it, the eligilbility rules are determined by the Commonwealth Games bods, so are out of our hands. However, a clear agreed statement is something that we should all aim for!
