Reinstate Polo as an Olympic Sport!

Information

Polo was part of the Olympic programme in 1900, 1908, 1920, 1924 and 1936. With this site, and specifically this group, together we demostrate our support for the FIP in its lobbying of the IOC to reinstate Polo into the Olympics

we need to get it more organised and work on a concentrated way to make this turn into reality .

the indian polo association under the secy ship of col pinka virk commandant of the 61 st cavalry along with the strong reccomendations of the maharajas of jaipur , jodhpur ,patiala kashmir and udaipur strongally supported by the indian army have written and taken up the case with the world olympic body last year.

we need to mark all these correspondence to a common body on the PCW maybe .

request all members to send in as much info on the polos past olympic status and work done in that direction . as scott puts it we need a per country report asap.

thanks to all involved and otherwise.
