oping his solid 2016 form earns him a call from Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney for the Four Nations in October.The 24-y
Abhinav Bindra has said the countrys junior programme should form a core part of the analysis to be undertaken by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) committee that will review shooters below-par performance at the Rio Olympics. This was not part of the initial brief given by the federation to the panel, which will be chaired by Bindra.The committee, which is expected to meet on August 29 and 30, is mandated to submit its report in four weeks. The report will be binding on the federation subject to clearance from the NRAIs governing body.Speaking exclusively to ESPN on Thursday, Indias lone individual Olympic gold medalist said he feels that performance in sport must be viewed in a holistic manner and not be broken down into black and white.I added the whole issue of the junior programme that wasnt part of the initial reference and spoke to the [NRAI] president [Raninder Singh], trying to explain to him that it is something which is very important, he said. Unless and until you fix the right system with regard to the junior programme you are not going to create multiple champions.Dismissing the federations argument that private coaches were creating layers of preparation, Bindra said that there are always bound to be multiple layers in a sport like shooting, given that it is impossible for a national coach to provide personal attention to all shooters in a large group.The view of the shooters, he feels, should be taken in this regard. One must understand that shooting is an individual sport and see what sort of coaching possibilities exist in the country and their standards, Bindra said. This is not a team sport, its an individual sport. Theres always going to multiple layers. Of course getting a new coach just a few months before the Olympics makes no sense.He also disagreed with some other key observations of the federation -- such as questioning the role of non-profits like OGQ and Go Sports working with shooters and bringing in short-term coaches and mental trainers. The role of such organisations is to try and fill in the gaps and unless those gaps and those resources are available not only to the elite but also to the grassroots, we will always struggle and the role of such organisations cannot be thrown away, Bindra said.

Tigers centre Tim Simona is hoping his solid 2016 form earns him a call from Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney for the Four Nations in October.The 24-year-old Simona has scored seven tries and made eight line breaks in his 20 appearances this season, helping Wests fight against the odds for a finals spot.He played the full 80 minutes on Sunday and made 86 metres as the Tigers overran a pliant Warriors on home soil to win 36-24.The win kept the Tigers in the hunt for a top eight spot while condemning the Warriors, who collapsed in the final 10 minutes of the match, to a fifth consecutive year without finals football.Simona said he wwas keen to earn himself a trip to England with the Kiwis, who will be looking to secure a third Four Nations crown.ddddddddddddThe Auckland-born centre was called up to the Kiwis training squad last year but is yet to make his international debut.Ive always wanted to play for the Kiwis as a kid, Simona said.Im just trying to play good footy for the Tigers and consistent footy, and hopefully the reward will come.Simona, who moved to Australia aged six, has also played for the Samoan national side.
