ISSF too sexy?

It wasn't me!

That's a shame. Makes it a lot harder to make a decent chunk of the World Cup Calendar for a given year. Only one in Europe now. Well, Munich's guaranteed to be after the exams next year, so might take a swing at that.

Unfortunately due to the changes from the IOC as regards qualification dates, quotas can only be won from the World Champs onwards this year. As all the quotas available at WC level are to be competed for in 2011 it was decided to have them spread across as many continents as possible. Hence, only one in Europe next year.

That makes sense. Hopefully Milan will be back in 2012 though.
