Archery

12
Background

Introduction
Archery is the sport, practice or skill of using a bow to propel arrows. The
word comes from the Latin arcus. Historically, archery has been used for
hunting and combat. In modern times, it is mainly a competitive sport and
recreational activity.

History
Archery is one of the oldest arts still practiced today. The evolution of archery
began at the start of mankind’s history and evidence of ancient archers has
been found around the world.
Archery first appeared in the Olympic Games in 1900 and was contested again
in 1904, 1908, and 1920. Women competed in the 1904 Olympics, making
archery one of the first sports to include events for both genders.
The sport then had a 52-year hiatus from the Olympics. It was reintroduced in
1972, with individual events for men and women. World Archery is the
international governing body of archery sport.

Archery in India
History of Archery in India dates back to the Vedic era, as the Indian people
of that period used Archery as a means of hunting. In India the first national
archery championship was held in Lucknow in 1973.

Modern Archery came to India in 1970 before the game had been chosen as
part of the Olympic discipline in Munich, West Germany in 1972. India’s first
appearance in Olympic Games was in 1988. The game of archery in India is
mainly governed and supervised by Archery Association of India (AAI). Limba
Ram, three-time Olympian met a world record in 1992. Ms. Dola Banerjee
became the first Indian Archer to win an individual Gold Medal in World Cup
Final and she became the first Indian women Archer to qualify for the
Olympics in 2004. Indian Archers won 6 team and 2 individual medals at the
highest level i.e. World Archery Championship including Rajat Chouhan as
Silver medalist and Ms. V. Jyothi Surekha as Bronze medalist. Akash and Atul
Verma won Silver and Bronze Medals respectively in Youth Olympic Games.
Compound Men Team has only distinction to win Champions’ title in the
Asian Games. Tarundeep Rai, Abhishek Verma and V. Jyothi Surekha are the
only three Indians who won Individual medals out of total 10 medals
registered under India’s medal tally in the Asian Games. Indian Archers
collected a haul of 4 Gold, 9 Silver and 10 Bronze Medals in Youth World
Championships till now.

Badminton

22
Background

Introduction
Badminton is a racquet sport played using racquets to hit
a shuttlecock across a net.

History
Games employing shuttlecocks have been played for centuries
across Eurasia but the modern game of badminton developed in the mid-
19th century among the British as a variant of the earlier game
of battledore and shuttle-cock. The game may have originally developed
among expatriate officers in British India, where it was very popular by
the 1870s. Badminton was a demonstration event in the 1972 and 1988
Summer Olympics. It became an official Summer Olympic sport at
the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. The BWF governs international
badminton.

Badminton in India
The game of badminton has its roots well laid in the Indian soil. A
descendent of Battledore and Shuttlecocks, the game was originally
christened Poona. In the 1870s, British army officers played this game in
the city of Pune in India, which was then called Poona and hence the
game was also termed as Poona. Badminton in India is managed
by Badminton Association of India. Prakash Padukone is the first Indian
badminton player to won All England Open. Pullela Gopichand is a former
badminton player and presently he is the Chief National coach. He
coached several badminton players including Saina Nehwal, P.V.
Sindhu, Parupalli Kashyap, Srikanth Kidambi, Arundhati
Pantawane, Gurusai Dutt and Arun Vishnu. Saina Nehwal former world
No. 1 is the first Indian women badminton player to have won an
Olympic medal. At the 2016 Summer Olympics, P.V. Sindhu became the
first Indian woman to win a silver medal. The leading ladies of Indian
Badminton, Saina Nehwal & PV Sindhu put up tremendous performances
at the Asian Games 2018, with the former winning a bronze in the
Individual event creating history yet again. The Indian contingent put up
a spectacular performance at the Commonwealth 2018 bringing home a
total medal tally of 10 - comprising of 2 Gold (women’s singles & mixed
doubles), 3 Silver (men’s singles, women’s singles & men’s doubles) and 1
bronze (women’s doubles).

26
Background

Introduction
Basketball game played between two teams of five players each on a
rectangular court, usually indoors. Each team tries to score by tossing
the ball through the opponent’s goal, an elevated horizontal hoop
and net called a basket.

History
Basketball was invented by James Naismith (1861–1939) on or about
December 1, 1891. Basketball grew steadily but slowly in popularity and
importance in the United States and internationally in the first three
decades after World War II. Men's was first included at the Berlin 1936
Summer Olympics, although a demonstration tournament was held in 1904.
Women's basketball was added to the Olympics in 1976. The international
game is governed by the Federation Internationale de Basketball
Amateur (FIBA).

Basketball in India
In India, the game of basketball started its journey in 1930 when it was
played for the first time. The first Indian National Championship for men
was conducted in 1934 in New Delhi. The Basketball Federation of
India (BFI), which controls the game in India was formed in 1950.
Throughout history, Indians learned to appreciate the game because of its
fast scoring and intense activity from the beginning until the end. Basketball
Federation of India is responsible for the development and promotion of
Basketball at all levels. In the past few years, Indian basketball has had a
lot more success with the women's team really making their mark.

Fencing

34
Background

Introduction
Fencing is probably one of the oldest sports in existence, for it sprang directly from the
duel, and the later has been extant as long as there has been war. It can be defined as a
sport practiced in pairs and employing a weapon (Foil, Sabre or Epee). The objective is to hit
the opponent with a thrust in foil and epee or with a cut or thrust in Sabre, in a manner and
on a target area specified by the rules of fencing.

Fencing can be described as the skilled use of the sword for offence or defense. This sport is
also known as “the chess with muscles”. Fencing of today employ a strange combination of
archaic and modern customs, combatants still salute before a match and wear the
traditional white uniform and mask, but scoring is now determined by electronic padding
worn by the combatants That registers when a hit takes place with
flashing color-coded lights.

History
Like fellow Olympics sports, Archery and Javelin, fencing has its roots in
ancient combat. Around 1200 BC, the Egyptians began the custom of
fencing for sport. In this journey from the ancient era to the modern
Olympic fencing this sport has gone under a lot of changes. The Italians,
Spanish and French all claim parentage for modern Fencing.
Fencing was a clear choice of inclusion in the Olympic program from 1896 onwards. At that
time the sword was still considered an important military weapon. Fencing remained one of
just six sports to have appeared in every modern Olympic Games.

Fencing in India
In India, in 1974 Fencing Association of India (FAI) was founded in India. Fencing Association
of India is affiliated with FIE (Federation Internationale d’Escrime), Asian Fencing
Confederation and Commonwealth Fencing Federation.
At present approximately 30 states/units are affiliated with the FAI and FAI is conducting

been played in each of the Summer Games (except for the 1932 Games
in Los Angeles). In 1992 FIFA opened the Olympic football tournament
to players aged less than 23 years, and four years later the first
women’s Olympic football tournament was held.

century when the game was introduced by British soldiers. The FIFA U-17
World Cup was organised in 2017 at six venues. India is currently ranked
97 among the FIFA World Rankings, published in July 2017. The Indian

Kabaddi

53
Background

Introduction
Kabaddi is a contact team sport that originated in the Indian
subcontinent. Kabaddi is derived from Kannada word kaihidi which
means to hold hands. Two teams compete, each occupying its own half
of the court. They take turns sending a "raider" into the opposing
team's half and earn points if the raider manages to touch opposing
team members and return to the home half, all while chanting word
"kabaddi". However, if the raider is tackled and prevented from
returning, the opposing team gets the point.

History of Kabaddi in India

The game received international exposure when it was demonstrated by
an Amravati-based sports organization at the 1936 Olympic Games in
Berlin, and it was included as an event in the Indian Olympic
Games held in Calcutta (now Kolkata) two years later. Following its
formation in 1950, the Kabaddi Federation of India organized national
championships for men beginning in 1952 and for women beginning
in 1955.

In the late 20th century the popularity of organized kabaddi began to

expand beyond India’s borders, in part through the efforts of the
Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India, formed in 1972. That same
year kabaddi was designated the national game of Bangladesh. With the
establishment in 1978 of the Asian Amateur Kabaddi Federation, a
regional championship was organized, and national kabaddi teams
began to compete in the Asian Games in 1990.The first Women's
Kabaddi World Cup was held in Patna, India in 2012. India won the
championship, defeating Iran in the finals.

The Pro-Kabaddi League is a franchise based

professional kabaddi league in India. PKL is definitely good for
promoting Kabaddi Sports and to help energies sport among the
youth. India won Gold medals Asian Games
in 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010.and 2014. India has won Six
Kabaddi World Cups till now. The International Kabaddi Federation is the

57
Background

Introduction
Rugby Union is a contact team sport that originated in England in the first half of
the 19th century. The two popular formats of the sport are Rugby Fifteens and
Rugby Sevens, both based on running with an oval-shaped ball in hand on a
rectangular field (measuring not more than 70m wide and 125m
long) with H-shaped goalposts at either end. Rugby Sevens, originally
called Seven-a-side Rugby (or simply Sevens), is the shorter and
faster variation of the traditional Rugby Fifteens format in which
teams are made up of Seven players (squad of 12 members) playing
seven minute halves, instead of the usual 15 players (squad of 23
members) playing 40 minute halves. Rugby Sevens is an Olympic
Sport and tends to be played at a faster pace as compared to Rugby
Fifteens thus is very entertaining game for spectators.
In Rugby Sevens, points are scored by carrying the ball and touching
it to the ground beyond the opposing team's goal line; this is called a Try
(constitutes to 5 points), and is the primary method of scoring. The opposing team
attempts to stop the attacking side scoring points by tackling the player carrying
the ball. In addition to tries, points can be scored by kicking goals. After each Try,
the scoring team gains an opportunity for a conversion kick at goal for further
points (a successful conversion kick constitutes 2 points). Kicks at goal may also be
awarded for penalties, and field goals can be attempted at any time (a successful
penalty kick constitutes 3 points).

History
Rugby Union is a fast-growing sport in India played actively by Men,
Women and Age-grade boys & girls across 25 States in India. Rugby,
besides being part of the National Games of India is also part of the
National University Games for Men & Women, under the aegis of the
Association of Indian University (AIU) and the School National
Championships for U19, U17 & U14 age-categories for both & girls, under the
aegis of the School Games Federation of India (SGFI). In addition to the Indian
sporting clubs, the Services, Police and Para-military teams have also embraced
the game. Rugby union is the second most popular winter sport after association
football in India and strives to become a choice of sport for the youth.
Across India, there are over 80,000+ players (registered & unregistered) of which
40% are female. The Indian Men’s Team is currently ranked 11 out of the 31 Asian
countries while the Indian Women’s Team is ranked 9 out of the 31 Asian
countries.

Table Tennis

65
Background
Introduction
Table tennis, also known as ping-pong, is a sport in which two or four
players hit a lightweight ball back and forth across a table using small
bats.

History
Table tennis first appeared at the Rome 1960 Paralympic Games and
took almost 30 years to finally become an Olympic sport, in Seoul 1988.
Table tennis was invented in England around 1880, as an improvised
after-dinner game using a champagne-cork ball, cigar-box lids as bats and
piles of books as a net. Table tennis is considered the most popular
racquet sport in the world, with over 300 million players in five
continents. The top players can spin the ball at up to 9,000 revolutions
per minute.

Table Tennis in India

Table Tennis Federation of India or in short TTFI was established in
Kolkata in 1937. It is the central body for the administration and
promotion of table tennis in India. TTFI formerly known as All India Table
Tennis Association (AITTA) got rechristened after the country got
independence. Since then it has been putting sincere effort in promoting
and upbringing the standard of table tennis in India. TTFI is an active
member of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).

At the team level, India’s most cherished performance has been the
World Championships in Gothenburg, where it was placed at the 12th
position. One of the milestones achieved by the country was hosting
World Championships in Mumbai in 1952. It was held for the first time in
Asia. India hosted World Championships three times is a tribute to the
organizational efficiency present in the game. We hope in near future
India bring glory to the sport.

Tennis

69
Background

Introduction
Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single
opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles).
Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow
rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the
opponent's court. The object of the game is to maneuver the ball in such
a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return.

History
Augurio Perera's house in Edgbaston, Birmingham, where he and Harry
Gem first played the modern game of lawn tennis between 1859 and
1865 Harry Gem, a solicitor and his friend Augurio Perera developed a
game that combined elements of racquets and the Basque ball
game pelota, which they played on Perera's croquet lawn in Birmingham,
England, United Kingdom.[11][12] In 1872, along with two local doctors,
they founded the world's first tennis club on Avenue Road, Leamington
Spa. This is where "lawn tennis" is used as a name of activity by a club for
the first time. After Leamington, the second club to take up the game of
lawn tennis appears to have been the Edgbaston Archery and Croquet
Society, also in Birmingham.

Tennis in India
Tennis has been a popular sport in India since around the 1880s when
the British Army and Civilian Officers brought the game to India. Soon
after regular tournaments like the 'Punjab Lawn tennis Championship'
at Lahore 'Bengal Lawn Tennis Championship' at Calcutta (now Kolkata)
(1887) and the 'All India Tennis Championships' at Allahabad (1910) were
organized. In the history of major tournaments, India has already beaten
among others France, Romania, Holland, Belgium, Spain and Greece in
Davis Cup ties (1921 to 1929).In the 1960s, the sport witnessed a golden
era. Ramanathan Krishnan earned his highest seeding – No. 4 in
Wimbledon in 1962. In the Davis Cup, India repeatedly became the Zonal
Champions. Ramanathan Krishnan, along with Premjit Lal, SP Misra,
Jaidip and RK Khanna as the non-playing captain, steered India to the Cup
finals in 1966.

73
Background

Introduction
Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are
separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a
ball on the other team's court under organized rules.

History
Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, physical
director of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA)
in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
International volleyball competition began in 1913 with the first Far
East Games, in Manila. The history of Olympic volleyball traces back
to the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, where volleyball was played
as part of an American sports demonstration event. Volleyball
became an Olympic sport for both men and women at the 1964
Olympic Games in Tokyo.
The Fédération Internationale de Volleyball - FIVB, is

India. It is a popular recreation sport. India is ranked 5th in Asia, and
27th in the world. Doing well in the youth and junior levels, India
came in second in the 2003 World Youth Championships. Currently, a
major problem for the sport is the lack of sponsors. The Indian senior
men's team is currently ranked 39th in the world.

Volleyball in India

77
Background

Introduction
Weightlifting is an athletic discipline in the modern Olympic Programme
in which the athlete attempts a maximum-weight of a barbell loaded
with weight plates.

History
The origins of modern weightlifting competition are to be found in
the 18th- and 19th-century. The first male world champion was
crowned in 1891.
By 1891 there was international competition in London. The
revived Olympic Games of 1896 included weightlifting events, as
did the Games of 1900 and 1904, but thereafter these events were
suspended until 1920. In 1920, weightlifting returned to the Olympics
and, for the first time, as an event in its own right. A weightlifting
competition for women was added to the Olympic Games in 2000.

participated for the first time. Similarly, in the Asian games India
participated in 1951 games held in Delhi and in the Commonwealth
Games in 1966, at Kingston. Indian Women weightlifters competed
in the World Championship for the first time in 1989 at Manchester
although it started in 1987. Karnam Malleswari won a bronze
medal in the 2000 Summer Olympics at Sydney, which made her the first

A maximum total of 8 participants for each weight category (Both Men and Women), will take part in the
Weightlifting Competition.

THE RULES
The Weightlifting competition will be held in accordance with the IWF Handbook 2017–2020: Technical and
Competition Rules available at www.iwf.net and modified rules thereof.

FORMAT
Each competition consists of two (2) parts: the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk, with a 10-minute break between
them. Each athlete may make three (3) attempts in both parts of the competition unless they fail to make a valid
lift in the Snatch, in which case they are eliminated and may not compete in the Clean and Jerk.
The order of calling for the athletes in competition is determined by four (4) factors, in the following order of
priority: the weight of the barbell (lightest weight first); the number of the attempt (lowest first); the order of the
athletes’ previous attempts (the athlete who lifted earlier comes first); and the lot number of the athlete (lowest
first).
Athletes are allowed one (1) minute, or two (2) minutes if making consecutive attempts, between the calling of
his or her name and the start of each attempt. Three (3) referees adjudicate each lift, with the lift’s validity
decided on majority. The best results in each type of lift (measured in kilograms) are added together to give a
total for each athlete, which determines the rankings in the competition. In the case of a tie, the athlete with the
lighter bodyweight will be ranked higher. If two (2) or more athletes with the same bodyweight are tied, the
athlete who reached the total first will be ranked higher.

WEIGH-INS
The weigh-ins for each bodyweight category will be conducted by technical officials from the IWF at the
competition venue two (2) hours before the start of each medal event, and will last one (1) hour. Athletes will
have access to the test scale before the official weigh-in. If any athlete fails to make the bodyweight of the
category in which he or she is officially entered, he or she will be excluded from the competition.

*Practice Sessions, Weigh-ins and Team Manager Meetings will be held one day prior to the start of the
competition.
