Indian Olympic Association: Following the news of India Archery contingent’s head coach Baek Woong Ki having to return to India due to denial of accreditation which prohibited the South Korean from being with the team at the Olympics, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) said it has gone by the recommendations of AAI. A senior IOA official said accreditations were issued by the governing body as per the advice of the Archery Association of India (AAI) which means that AAI is responsible for the denial of proper accreditation to the coach.

“IOA has gone by the recommendation and advice of all National Sports Federations whose athletes are competing in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. IOA has acted positively on accreditation recommendations and requests of all NSFs and even individual athletes. IOA will act on any request that comes from the Archery Association of India,” an IOA official told IANS.

Woong Ki is a world-renowned coach and was the head coach of the South Korean contingent that won the gold at the 2012 London Olympics.
