Collier: Olympic Sports To Erase The best example of hypocrisy in sport is the olympic Games, Dr. Charles Yesalis of badminton, which I covered at Barcelona in 92 and is dominated by http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05198/538803.stm
Extractions: You may have noted that baseball and softball have gotten themselves thrown out of the Olympics beginning in 2012, which is good, but the International Olympic Committee, with its customary smug restraint, stopped at only two ejections. Too bad. Here are five more "sports" that are way more erasable and should have gotten a similar defenestration: water polo, shooting, synchronized swimming, fencing and badminton. Maybe if the Olympics started lopping off seven sports at a time, we could eventually get to a place where the Olympics are close enough to killing themselves to spark a reasonable discussion about whether that would be a bad thing. Though nothing formal was forthcoming in the way of reasoning from the IOC on the baseball-softball killing, committee members said publicly that baseball in particular had a credibility problem due to steroid use. That's very close to comical.

Extractions: Contents Editorial IOC Conference in Prague Debut in Athens Harilaos Vassilakos, the hot favorite who came second ... HOC Plenary Session Debut in Athens By Thodoris Georgantas Greek male and female athletes will make their debut in six out of 28 sports included in the Athens Olympic Games program in August 2004. Never before in the Olympic Games history has a Greek athlete took part in the volleyball, in handball and in other sports less popular in Greece, such as baseball, softball, hockey and badminton. In August 2004 in Athens, Greek athletes will compete in sports most of the Greeks are not familiar with, as well as in sports, like volley ball and handball, Greek athletes are proud of great distinctions. But there are also sports where Greece has never been represented at the Olympics. VOLLEYBALL The President of Greece's Volley Ball Federation (EOPE) and Hellenic Olympic Committee's (HOC) treasurer Thanassis Beligratis was very clear about the participation of national volleyball teams of men and women in the Athens Olympic Games. "We won't participate in the Games just to parade", he said. "The program of our national volleyball teams' preparation for the 2004 was set up when our country won the Olympic Games organization. We have been working on that and I hope that our teams will manage to star both in the volleyball and in the beach volleyball". Greece's national men's team won a bronze medal at a European championship, while they took the sixth place, the best they had ever achieved, at the World Championship which took place in Athens in 1994. In the beach volleyball, Greece can be proud of a gold medal at a European championship. It is worth mentioning that volleyball was introduced to the Olympic Games in 1964 in Tokyo, while beach volleyball was introduced to the Olympic Games program in 1996 in Atlanta. Greece has already a participation in two Games.

Extractions: The International Badminton Federation may have a small relief thanks to badminton's good performance in the Athens Games but it still worries its fate in the Olympics. Badminton faces two crucial moments this year to decide its Olympic future as the IOC will vote in July to choose the 2012 Olympic program and meet again in October to see whether badminton competition can stay unchanged in the Olympic Games. "The IOC evaluation for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games events has yet to finish. But I can say badminton left a good impression on the IOC and I expect good result in July evaluation," said newly elected IBF president Kang Young Joong from South Korea on Sunday. According to IBF's TV audience research, the mixed doubles final between China and Britain on August 19, 2004, attracted a combined viewing audience of 80 million, including over five million in Britain.

I never even saw it coming. The shuttle whipped past me at about 200 kilometres per hour and landed with a decisive "thwack" on the court somewhere to my right. On the other side of the net, Denyse Julien grinned impishly and fixed me with an appraising stare. Fair enough. After all, my experience with badminton is limited to a couple of matches in high school and occasional backyard tournaments with my little brother.

Extractions: Badminton is a sport that can be played by men and women of all skill levels and all ages. But to compete at the highest levels successfully, athletes must develop special skills such as technique, stamina, strength, and flexibility. The sport has spread around the world and is especially popular in Asia where spectators can exceed 15,000 in important contests. In Greece, Badminton is becoming increasingly popular. In 1995, when it was formally recognised by the General Secretariat of Sport, there were only 90 officially registered players. Today, there are over 3,500. During the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games, Badminton competition attracted a lot of attention. Countries with long tradition in the sport sent their best athletes, after a twelve-month selection process.
