Extractions: SYDNEY, Australia Inge de Bruijn of the Netherlands, already the world's fastest woman sprinter, won the 50-meter freestyle Saturday for her third individual Olympic gold. De Bruijn swam 24.32 seconds .19 seconds over the world record she set in Friday's semifinals. "I'm floating on a big cloud," De Bruijn said. "I hope I don't land for a long time." A raucous Aussie crowd had something to cheer about, too. Grant Hackett and Kieren Perkins went 1-2 in the grueling 1,500 freestyle, continuing their country's dominance in the mile. Hackett continued the Australian distance swimming legacy established by Perkins, winning the grueling mile in 14:48.33. Perkins, trying to become the first male swimmer to win the same individual Olympic event three times, took silver. The Aussies went 1-2 in the event for an unprecedented third straight Olympics. Chris Thompson of Roseburg, Ore., finished third, earning the first medal in the event since the United States went 1-2 in 1984.

Extractions: Origins of U.S. women's swimming success Sept. 12, 2000 KALAMAZOO When Amy Van Dyken, Lindsay Benko, Kristi Kowal and any of the other 21 members of the U.S. women's Olympic swimming team dive in during competition, they have Charlotte Epstein to thank for their being there. According to Dr. Linda J. Borish, associate professor of history and women's studies at WMU, Epstein, who died in 1938, was the force behind the formation and acceptance of the first female swimmers to compete for medals in an Olympic Games. Epstein, known as the "mother of women's swimming in America," formed the Women's Swimming Association in New York City in 1917 with the intention of teaching women to swim and preparing them for competitive swim events, which up until then didn't exist at national or Olympic levels. She is the one who challenged the U.S. Olympic Committee to allow women the opportunity to compete in the 1920 games in Antwerp, Belgium. "Back then there was not a lot of support for women in competition," Borish explains. "Eppie showed a lot of skill in battling the Olympic committee to allow women. They didn't want women to participate, not to mention little girls. One of the youngest stars of the team, Aileen Riggin, was only 14 and a half when she competed and won a gold medal in fancy diving."

Extractions: Aquatics Water Polo Womens water polo was one of the new events at the Sydney Games. When one plays water polo, the players are prohibited from touching the bottom or side of the pool. There are four seven-minute quarters, and water polo players may swim up to five kilometers in a single game. One must have the endurance and technique of a wonderful swimmer, a football players skill in passing, dribbling and shooting for a goal, and a rugby players strength to battle for the ball. Water polo started as the aquatic version of rugby. It began in the mid-1800s in England, before it started evolving into an aquatic resemblance of football (soccer). It had become so popular in Europe and North America, that it became an Olympic sport in the Olympic Games in Paris. Tall and long-armed athletes excel in this sport because 85 percent of the body is under water. The body is also about 85 percent submerged with all of the grabbing, holding, kicking, wrestling, and yanking of bathing suits, which makes the game even tougher. Only eight teams qualify in the womens division, while twelve teams compete in the mens division at the Olympic Games.

Round Athens Atlanta Belgrade Manchester Melbourne Toronto Five months before his historic re-election as president of the United States, Bill Clinton proclaimed the opening of the centenary Games in Atlanta (July 19 - August 4). At the same time America was still in shock at an explosion, shortly after take-off, on board a TWA Boeing 747 two days earlier. With Paris as its destination the plane exploded over the beaches of Long Island, killing 230 people. President Samaranch succeeded not only in curbing the political problem of boycotts, but also in abolishing it from 1996 in Atlanta, where all the National Olympic Committees participated for the first time in the Olympic Games. The Atlanta Games were certainly the largest (a record 197 nations competed), most logistically complicated Olympics to date and perhaps the most hyped and over-commercialized as well. Despite all the troubles that organizers faced, from computer scoring snafus and transportation problems to a horrific terrorist attack, these Olympics had some of the best stories ever.

Extractions: ABOUT SWIMMING HISTORY Swimming has been a sport for thousands of years. The modern sport of swimming, was deemed to have emerged in England in the 1830s, when the standard stroke of the day was breaststroke! The gold medal winner at the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896 was 19-year-old Hungarian Alfred Hajos in the 1200-meter freestyle. He won by being the first swimmer to reach shore after a boat left everyone in the icy waters of the Mediterranean. Swimming races at the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens were open to all styles, but swimmers using The Trudgen won. This stroke was a form of today's freestyle, as it was a style of over arm swimming the inventor had watched South American Indians use. He taught it with a conventional scissor kick (later replaced by an Australian with a flutter kick). Organizers added the backstroke as an individual event in 1900, and the breaststroke followed in 1908. The butterfly came last of the modern Olympic swimming styles. Arising out of a loophole in the breaststroke rules, it debuted at the 1956 Games in Melbourne. Swimming venues have certainly evolved, from the Bay of Zea in 1896 to Paris's River Seine in 1900 to a 100-metre pool constructed inside the athletics track in 1908. Then there were the events, from a 100-metre race for Greek sailors in 1896, to underwater and obstacle races in 1900, to a "plunge for distance" in 1908. That event involved a standing dive, with contestants then remaining motionless for 60 seconds or until their heads broke the surface — whichever came first.
