Extractions: The modern Olympic Games belong to our era. The way they are organized, their ceremonies and symbolism reflect modern reality, not ancient tradition. The Games are not only about the athletes. The Games are not just a question of records and numbers. Hidden behind the statistics, the medals, the records are important ideas, experiences, questions about participation and exclusion, rivalry and competition, victory and defeat, commitment and exertion, the athletic ideal and commercialization. The Games concern everyone participating in them, in whatever way. They have to do with individuals and social groups, cities and countries. They speak of symbols, heroes and myths. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the man who inspired the revival of the Olympic Games Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman, is justly given credit for establishing the modern Olympics, but it was England that revived the idea, and it was in England that Coubertin was introduced to it. As early as 1612, Robert Dover established an English version of the Olympic Games in the Cotswold Hills in Gloucestershire. Events included card games, chess, and dancing, as well as running, jumping, the hammer throw, pitching the bar, wrestling, and horse racing.

Extractions: Potted History Some early history about women and the Olympics The organisers of the World Exhibition seemed unconcerned about the rights and wrongs of women competing, so their presence was not an issue. To this day there is still confusion as to which events were Olympic and which were World Fair events. So, who were the first female Olympic competitors and champion?

Extractions: More than 35 sports events will be showcased at this year's Sydney Olympic Games. Some events, like the triathlon, are barely 30 years old while others, like archery, have have a much longer history. In ancient times, the practice of archery was important to the survival of humankind. In modern times, it has become a challenging sport practiced by people all over the world. The History of Archery - The bow and arrow is the most widely used weapon in all of recorded history. It allowed prehistoric (from a time before history was recorded) humans to be good hunters and gave them the means to protect themselves. Many historians believe that the invention of the bow and arrow is as important to the development of humankind as the ability to create fire. The bow and arrow has undergone many transformations. In 3500 B.C., Egyptians used bows that were as tall as they were. Almost 2,000 years later, bows had become shorter and more curved. In 1200 B.C., archers developed the skill of shooting from moving chariots, and in A.D. 500, the Romans began to draw the arrow to their faces instead of their chests,

Recorded history of the Games dates back to 776 B.C., when the five days of sporting events were primarily religious ceremonies. For the first known 13 Games, the competition consisted of single foot race of 200 yards, which was the approximate length of the Olympic stadium. The Games expanded to include additional contests and reached their height by fifth century BC. Men competed, in the nude, in running, wrestling, pentathlon, horse riding and chariot races. Why in the nude well, to keep the ladies out of the action. Women were barred from watching or competing, and were even put to death if they were caught at the early Games. Today, not only are women allowed to watch and compete, they are encouraged to do so. Check out a few of our historical Olympic pages here at usolympicteam.com.
