SPORT FIH 3 LAST

FIH Executive member Aaron Sher said the world body was
working to reformulate the calendar which would give some top
events a fixed time slot like in other sports.

"We did not have any top FIH event between the Beijing
Olympics (August 2008) and Champions Trophy in Australia (in
December 2009). We need to have more FIH events and at the
same time need to give a fixed time slot, like the Wimbledon
Championships which is held every August," he said.
Aaron, who is also the FIH Communication and Information
Technology Committee chairman, said nothing has been finalised
yet regarding the proposed World Hockey Series.
"It is just in the discussion stage and nothing has been
finalised. It will be discussed in the Executive Board meeting
on March 14-15," he said.
If materialised, the World Hockey Series (stage 3 and 4)
will be among the top FIH events besides the World Cup,
Champions Trophy and Indoor World Cup.
The FIH second tier events are World Cup and Olympic
qualifiers, Champions Challenge I and II and World Hockey
Series 1 and 2. PTI PDS
