 Olympic sports federations call emergency meeting
An announcement by IOC president Jacques Rogge in Berlin last week that all sports must submit to the vote prompted the summer Olympics collective body, the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations, to call for an emergency meeting in June.

With every one of the Olympic sports up for the vote in Singapore there is no obvious target and IOC insiders believe this will make it much harder for vulnerable sports to rally support.

 The Hindu : Games Indian Olympic Assn. plays!
Apparently peeved at the glaring discrepancies in the long list of delegates being invited for the Afro-Asian Games, the Chief Minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu, has stepped in to issue a circular suggesting that the State Government will stick to the Olympic Council of Asia protocol in terms of accommodation for the Games.
Accommodation would be provided to only those officials coming in the protocol ambit like continental federation representatives (two each from Asia and Africa), representatives of the international federations of the respective disciplines, members of the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Council of Asia.
In a way, the hint to the IOA is that the National Olympic Committees of Africa and Asia, totalling 194, may not be in the `favoured list.' Consequently, the delegates' list would be pruned to 255 from the original figure.
