In a decision that would shock country's swimming community, Nepal Swimming Association (NSA) has introduced a regulation barring swimmers from participating in more than four events, which according to NSA insiders serves a sole purpose to deny national teenage swimming sensation Gaurika Singh from participating in multiple events.

NSA intends to implement this new regulation in the upcoming National Swimming Championships scheduled to begin from August 17.

The National Swimming Competition organising committee under Vice Chairman Gita Rana, also a lawmaker, announced the competition dates and the regulation that would bar swimmers from participating in more than four events. The organising committee said such move was aimed at making the competition more inclusive.

Keeping in view the inclusiveness in the sport, we have introduced the regulation that no players will be allowed to participate in more than four events so that only one player will not win all the events, said NSA officials during a press meet on Sunday.

The final date for the submission of event participation form was August 26 and Singh had submitted application for entry form at the NSA, National Sports Council and Sports Ministry.

NSA, however, has also gone a step further and is mulling postponement of the national event in a bid to discourage the youngest Olympian in the history of the sport from participating in the competition. However, the association has not taken a final decision on the event postponement issue.

The associations one of a kind regulation is almost unheard in the swimming world.

Singh, 14, has 30 national records to her name and her competitors fear diving into the same pool with her as some of her timings fare much better even than her national male counterparts.

During the 12th South Asian Games, Singh won a record 4 medalsone silver and three bronze to better her own national recordat the age of 14.

Gaurika, who currently lives with her parents in London, England, arrived in Nepal on August 2 to take part in the national competition. Singh had reached the finals of English Age Group Championship and British Open Water Championship back in England but opted not to take part in it and instead fly to Nepal for the national competition.

Meanwhile, FINA (International Swimming Federation), the regulatory body for administering international competition in water sports, has no such regulation and allows athletes to participate in any events they wish to, even in the Olympics.

Katie Ledecky of the United States had won six medals at the World Swimming Championships that was held on July 30 in Hungary and legendary swimmer Michael Phelps also had won eight gold medals in the Beijing Olympics.

Likewise, in Nepal Karishma Karki had secured 12 gold medals in the 5th edition of national championships and and Shirish Gurung had claimed 14 gold medals in the 7th National Swimming Championships.

Similarly, Singh, during the 19th edition of the national swimming competition had won 8 gold and 1 silver medals along with national record in her belt at the age of 11 and on the 20th swimming championship she had won 6 gold medals.

Meanwhile, Paras Bahadur Singh, Gaurikas father, has said that they may be compelled to search for other options if NSA keeps on obstructing Gaurikas participation in national events.

Gaurika has achieved so much for the country in a small age, said Paras, For her (Gaurika) Nepal and swimming matters the most but if the association keeps on creating hurdles then we have to look for other options as well.

Vice President Mike PenceMichael (Mike) Richard PenceScaramucci: Pence 'can't believe' what's going on OPINION | Mike Pence's 2020 run will go down in flames with Trump's presidency OPINION | Trump is a fake president and his base is starting to agree MORE on Sunday condemned white supremacists and defended President Trump following criticism that the administration failed to adequatelycondemn specific groups after Saturdayviolence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

We have no tolerance for hate and violence, white supremacists or neo-Nazis or the KKK, Pence said at a press conference in Cartagena, Colombia, according to a White House press pool report.

Trump had neglectedto namethe groups that organized the rally that turned violent inCharlottesville the previous day.

However, Pence said Trump clearly and unambiguously condemned what happened in Charlottesville. He referred to such groups as "dangerous fringe groups" and saidwe condemn them in the strongest possible terms."

The president also made clear that behavior by others of different militant perspectives are also unacceptable in our political debate and discourse, Pencesaid.

He also criticized the media for reporting on the criticism of Trump's response. A number of Republicans were quick to urgethe president to specifically condemn white supremacy, while Democrats sought to connectWhite House advisers to the far right movement.

I take issue with the fact that many in the national media spent more time criticizing the presidents words than they did criticizing those that perpetuated the violence to begin with, Pencesaid.

We should be putting the attention where it belongs, and that is on those extremist groups that need to be pushed out of the public debate entirely and discredited for the hate groups and dangerous fringe groups that they are," he continued.

A protest against government removal of a Confederate statue in Charlottesville on Saturday turned violent. The alt-right protesters clashed with counter protesters, leading the governor to declare a state of emergency before the rally even started. A young woman died and multiple were injured after a car then plowed into counter-protesters.

Trumps response to the violence in Charlottesville was criticized on both the left and right by lawmakers whosaid he needed to explicitlycondemn white supremacists and place the blame on far right groups for sparking the violence.

"We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides on many sides," Trump said on Saturday.

The White House clarified Trump's position on Sunday.An official said "of course" the president condemns violence by"white supremacists, KKK Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups."

Protesters rallying in the name of the Charlottesville victims on Sunday night protested Trump at Trump Tower in New York City and Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.Demonstrators held signs that read No Free Speech For Fascists" andMake Racists Afraid AgainSmash White Supremacy!

Pence defends Trump response to Charlottesville violence - The Hill

Back in the day, there was a bit of bloggy conversation about whether Donald Trump might actually be a less destructive president than, say, Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio. The case against that was pretty simple:

Hes a serial liar. Hes a demagogue. Hes a racist and a xenophobe. He appeals to our worst natures.Hed appoint folks who make Michael Brown look like Jeff Bezos. He would deliberately alienate foreign countries for no good reason.And while that volatile personality of his probably wouldnt cause him to nuke Denmark, you never know, do you?

This week weve seen both of his two most serious flaws in action. Resurgent neo-Nazis and white nationalists, who take Trump as their inspiration and role model, invaded Charlottesville and produced exactly the violence and mayhem youd expect. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio had no problem denouncing these racist thugs. But Trump, as he did before with David Duke, refused to clearly and explicitly condemn them. He offered only his usual weasel words, which gave him plausible deniability but refrained from risking his reputation as the champion of white America. Nobody in media/politics can legitimately claim they didnt know that Trump plays footsie with white supremacists, says my boss today, and then lays out MoJos extensive coverage of exactly this over the past two years. You should read it if you have even the vaguest thought that maybe Trump isnt quite as toxic and ugly as Im suggesting.

At the same time, hes been engaged in a childish war of words with North Korea. This is not just idiotic, since Trump is making threats he knows he wont carry out, but recklessly dangerous. Its exactly the kind of thing that, with the right push, could escalate into Kim Jong-Un doing something foolhardy and then Trump responding in kind. The odds of this turning into a nuclear exchange are low. Maybe 1 percent or so. But with any other Republican the odds would be 0 percent.

Trump needs to go. The sooner Republicans figure this out, the better off well be. Mike Pence may have sold his soul by signing up with Trumpand as president hed unquestionably be bad for everything I care aboutbut Donald Trump is a disgrace, and a dangerous one. His 15 minutes should have been up long ago.
