The review committee set up by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) to look into shootings no-medal show at the Rio Olympics this year has, in its report, implicated the federation for its lack of initiative and planning and sought a major overhaul in its attitude, policies and practices. In response, the NRAI said it will set up another panel to monitor all recommendations.The four-member committee, chaired by Abhinav Bindra, analysed the individual performances of the shooters who qualified for the Olympics and then laid the onus on the national body for operating within a flawed structure, leading to a combination of factors which led to the disappointment of the Rio Olympics. The NRAI was held accountable for hiring incompetent national coaches, not holding national camps and not having a system in place to monitor the physical readiness of shooters competing at the Olympics.The committee, which held its first meeting on August 29, spoke to shooters and coaches over a number of sittings before drafting its 38-page report assessing the performance of each of the 12 Rio Olympic shooters separately and putting forward its recommendations with regard to the terms of reference mandated by the NRAI. The committee acknowledged the NRAIs willingness to look within for answers and noted that it was the only national sports federation that had done so post-Rio. Bindra, who was a part of the Rio Games contingent, did not participate in matters dealing specifically with his Olympic teammates to avoid a possible conflict of interest.We suggested some course corrections to ensure that the sport is run in a more efficient manner, hope they are imbibed, Bindra said at a press conference on Wednesday. The complete report was made available to the public and was expected to be put up online, too.Among its recommendations, the committee sought the appointment of a high-performance manager -- who is not a part of the NRAI -- to coordinate among the shooter, coaches, the NRAI and the Sports Authority of India (SAI), and remain accountable to the governing body of the NRAI. It has also called for a committee of experts, comprising the national coach, at least three shooters who have won medals at major events and the high-performance manager, to appoint a fresh set of coaches for Olympic contenders.Pushing for a review of its existing selection policy, the panel has suggested that the NRAI announce its 2020 Olympic selection guidelines in 2017; offering room for debate and scrutiny and make the final policy applicable from no later than January 2018.In its assessment of primary medal prospect Jitu Rais performance at the Games, the committee pointed out that foreign coach Pavel Smirnov lacked the expertise in precision events to help the shooter win an Olympic medal and the absence of a working relationship between them only worsened matters.Responding to the review panels observations, NRAI president Raninder Singh told ESPN that the federation would, possibly over the next 48 hours, set up an independent committee to monitor all the recommendations in a time-bound manner. It will be entrusted with one mandate -- to institute and implement the recommendations -- and will be required to send monthly reports to the president on the status.If were not doing our job we need to be criticized, Raninder said. As far as the coaches are concerned, for instance someone like (Pavel) Smirnov, hes the one who gave us shooters like Vijay Kumar, Gurpreet Singh and Jitu Rai, and now suddenly hes the bad apple. Thats not fair. Its very easy to criticize and get rid of anyone but very difficult to replace. It has taken me one year to find a rifle coach in place of [Stanislav] Lapidus. So weve got to put things into perspective. Certainly well put in more protocols to make them more accountable and well be monitoring shooters as well as coaches, both Indian and foreign.Calling attention to Gagan Narangs underpreparedness to participate in three events -- air rifle, 50m rifle prone and 50m rifle 3 positions -- the review panel highlighted NRAIs ignorance of the shooter carrying a heel injury into the Olympics. While the committee commended shooter Mairaj Ahmed Khan for his creditable show in the skeet event, it roundly chastised four-time Olympian Manavjit Singh Sandhu for his inflexible attitude and lack of inclination to adopt a fresh approach.The committee said that the word coach has lost meaning in the Indian shooting context and observed that none of the national coaches have a proven track record either as coaches or shooters, the committee noted that the title of the national coach has turned into a titular one and that theres total absence of coordination between the national, foreign and personal coaches.Seeking an end to the federations dependence on the SAI, the panel strongly suggested that the NRAI turn into a self-sustaining, shooter-friendly organization. The NRAI cannot be at the mercy of SAI and every problem cannot be outsourced to SAI, it said. If there is a problem, NRAI should step in with corrective measures and sort it out with SAI later.The other three members of the panel were sports administrator Manisha Malhotra and senior journalists Kamesh Srinivasan and Digvijay Singh Deo.

Swell Traveler Bottle Australia . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Eddie Lacy responded to the unflattering photo of him on social media with a picture-perfect performance in practice. One day after the photo from the team website went viral, the Green Bay Packers rookie running back showed just why the team is excited about the big, bruising style he brings to what coach Mike McCarthy hopes is a revitalized running game. During an 11-on-11 red-zone drill, Lacy got four handoffs during 17 plays the Packers offence ran. Each time, Lacy ran through contact and pushed the pile forward. Unofficially, he scored three touchdowns, from the 11-, 5- and 3-yard lines. While it wasnt a live-tackling period so its hard to judge just how productive he was, the plays showcased why the Packers took him in the second round (No. 61 overall) out of Alabama. "Eddie Lacy definitely falls in category of big back, and big backs fall forward," McCarthy said. "You obviously coach all your backs to try to do that, but thats definitely the benefit of big backs." Now about that photo, which prompted speculation that Lacy is overweight. It hit Twitter on Monday night and was quickly a top topic. "I definitely made fun of him last night," wide receiver Randall Cobb said. "I pulled the picture up (on my phone). We know hes in shape. We know hes good. Its just a bad angle. Its definitely a bad angle." Although the Packers roster lists Lacy at 230 pounds, he wouldnt say how much he weighs now. "Im at a weight where Im comfortable at, and the coaching staff feels as though theyre comfortable where Im at," Lacy said. "So as far as thats concerned, were all on the same page. Ive always been big. Im a power back. I pretty much get the tough yards and Im fast enough to get around the outside and make big plays." Lacy said his conditioning was "exactly" where he wanted it to be, while McCarthy said the team had no concerns after Lacy passed the pre-camp run test. "Going through the conditioning test, he was fine," McCarthy said. "If we had any concerns about any of our guys conditioning-wise, they wouldnt be on the field.ddddddddddddquot; Although Lacy will have to compete with fourth-round pick Johnathan Franklin of UCLA and holdovers James Starks, DuJuan Harris and Alex Green for carries, his bruising style is one the Packers havent had in the run game under McCarthy. With the coach promising to run the ball more this season, Lacys style would seem to complement the Aaron Rodgers-led passing game. "Hes a guy that once he hits the hole, he gets moving north and south and hes always moving forward," guard T.J. Lang said. "I mean, you saw some runs today in that red-zone period where he got hit by a couple guys and he continued to run forward and get those extra yards. "Hes a power guy, but I dont want to call him just a power guy, because Ive seen him where hes made some moves and made guys miss. Its been awhile since we had a running back like that -- a heavier guy that can still move like that and just run through guys. I think thats going to help a lot in the red zone, getting those extra 2, 3 yards, pushing guys in the end zone." Packers general manager Ted Thompson had drafted only four running backs in his first eight drafts before taking Lacy and Franklin. He likes what hes seen from the Alabama back. "He definitely has a natural ability to get north and south off cuts and run behind his pads, that sort of thing," he said. "Theres a lot of work to be done yet, but like the rest of our rookie guys, so far so good." To his credit, Lacy responded to the weight brouhaha with what he called "my best day since Ive been out here" and didnt seem to let the unwanted attention get to him. "Thats something I dont too much worry about. Thats an external factor," Lacy said. "I learned in college to pretty much distance yourself from that. I mean, people are going to say what theyre going to say, but at the end of the day, I have to do what I have to do, and thats what Im doing." ' ' '
