Baseball and softball have vowed to make another pitch to be readmitted to the Olympics after striking out on Sunday.


Riccardo Fraccari claquette puma fenty pas cher , the president of the International Baseball Federation, told Reuters that baseball
and softball were not giving up hope of getting back in the Olympics.


The two sports joined forces as the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) to bid against wrestling and squash for the one available berth on the
Olympic programme for the 2020 and 2024 Games.


But they missed out after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) members voted overwhelming to reinstate wrestling. Baseball-softball finished second in
the three-way ballot.


"Congratulations to wrestling and FILA. It's an honour to have presented before the IOC, alongside great competitors like squash and wrestling," Fraccari
said.


"The WBSC will continue working hard and will continue listening and learning from the IOC, so that baseball and softball can come under the Olympic umbrella
to serve and strengthen the Olympic Movement claquette puma fenty , as our sport expands and globalises further."

The odds were stacked against baseball and softball winning the vote. Wrestling was only kicked off the Olympic programme seven months ago, but
immediately introduced a raft of reforms to win back its place.


Baseball and softball were on the Olympic programme from 1992 to 2008 but were voted out in a secret ballot in 2005, becoming the first sports to be
removed from the Olympics since polo in 1936.


FAILED ATTEMPTS

Although they were still allowed to participate at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the sports have failed in their attempts to get back in since.


"While we are obviously disappointed with the decision of the International Olympic Committee to not move forward with baseball and softball for inclusion
on the Olympic program in 2020, we continue to believe the combined efforts of
baseball and softball provide a great platform for international
competition Puma Creepers Velvet Bordeaux Rabais ," USA Baseball executive director Paul Seiler said in a statement.


"USA Baseball will continue to promote baseball and softball both internationally and domestically through our various initiatives, and we look
forward to the opportunity to return to the Olympic program in the future."


The IOC have never specified exactly why the sports were dropped, the most commonly cited reasons are baseball's refusal to comply with all the World
Anti-Doping Agency rules and the absence of Major League Baseball players from
the Olympics.


However, with MLB recently cracking down on doping, suspending more than a dozen players linked to the Biogenesis scandal Puma Creepers Velvet Grise En ligne , and pledging their support to the Olympic movement, baseball-softball remain optimistic of a recall.


At their presentation to the IOC on Sunday, WBSC co-president Don Porter gave an emotional speech, choking up while tears welled in his eyes.


"I hope today that you will find a place for those little girls in the Olympics and help restore their dreams," Porter told the members.


Tony Castro Femme Fenty Puma BOW Sneaker Rose Pas Cher , the son of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, also addressed the IOC in his role with the WBSC, as a
demonstration of the sport's global appeal and popularity in some smaller
countries.


"In my country Cuba, it is the top sport and the cement of a social tradition" he said.

VANCOUVER, March 26 (Xinhua) -- If driverless cars cruising streets safely is no longer a dream for car lovers Femme Fenty Puma BOW Olive Verte Pas Cher , then puffing nothing into the atmosphere but a little bit of water exhaust is another dream of
environmentalists just around the corner.


Here at the 95th annual Vancouver International Auto Show, car lovers tend to drool over sleek designs, luxury and horsepower. But now, technology is becoming
the show's focal point, with more buyers interested in eco-friendly machines
with enhanced safety and automated technology.


Beside a monster truck Bigfoot Femme Puma Basket Suede Heart Reset Bleu Achetez , people were surprised to know that this giant car is driven entirely by electricity. The staff of
Bigfoot, Jim Kramer, told Xinhua on Thursday that this custom Bigfoot runs on a
30-car battery power plant that puts out 350 horsepower and roughly 800
pound-feet of torque. While its electric motor is quiet like a purring kitten,
this monster truck does not lack for power or performance.


"We always try to keep up with the innovations. And electric cars are coming of age. It's getting better every day, and we felt we wanted to build an
electric monster truck to show people that the qualities of electric can apply.
You know Femme Puma Basket Suede Heart Reset Rose Achat , going green doesn't have to be hard. It can be fun. We wanted to make it fun."


Green cars remain a relatively small part of the overall auto industry, but eco-friendly tech is accelerating at a remarkable rate.


Take Toyota's Mirai Fuel Cell Vehicle, for instance. It is a concept car that uses a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity for
power. Water is the vehicle's only byproduct. It can be refilled in about five
minutes and has a driving range of about 500 kilometers on a full tank.


Zack Spencer, a Canadian automobile journalist, recently spent a week testing a similar fuel cell vehicle made by Hyundai. He told Xinhua at the auto show
that the performance gap between fuel cell cars and regular autos is quickly
closing.


"We're talking about very advanced technology Femme Puma Basket Heart Patent Noir Pas Cher , as a fuel cell on board taking only hydrogen, converting it into electricity to p. Cheap Spain Jerseys   Gerardo Flores Mexico Jersey   Wholesale Germany Jerseys   Cheap Penguins Jerseys   Cheap Lightning Jerseys   Cheap Islanders Jerseys   Cheap Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys   Wholesale Flyers Jerseys   Wholesale Flames Jerseys   Wholesale Devils Jerseys
