http://worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/olympic.htm

Extractions: The games were held every four years during August and September and the word "Olympiad", which referred to the four year intervals between competitions, was commonly used to measure time. The first documented Olympic champion was a man named Coroebus, a cook from Elis who won the sprint race in 776 BC. Historians believe that the games had already existed for at least 500 years prior to that date. The Olympic Games originally featured only one event: a race called the "stade", equal to a distance of about 210 yards. By 728 BC two additional races had been added, comparable to the 400 meter and 1,500 meter races of the modern games. The Olympics came to include wrestling, boxing and the pentathlon, as well as specialized events for soldiers and heralds. It was only in 472 BC that the events were spread out over a period of four to five days, previously they had all taken place on a single day.

Extractions: The Olympics first started nearly 3,000 years ago in Ancient Greece. The ancient Greek civilization enjoyed many sportsincluding running, boxing and wrestlingbecause they believed physical activity and competition were very important. Every Greek boy was expected to participate in sports, because the Greeks believed the skills they learned in sports would make them better warriors.

Extractions: The people of Athens greeted the Games with great enthusiasm. There is no event that the Greek hosts wanted to win more than the marathon race, because of its historical significance. Spiridon Louis, a Greek shepherd set off from the city of Marathon (marathon was run from Marathon to Athens over the course covered by Greek hero Pheidippides in 490 B.C. after the battle with the Persians) and took the lead four kilometres from the finish line and, to the great joy of the 100,000 spectators, won the race by more than seven minutes. Alfréd Hajos (HUN-swimming) won the 100m and the 1,200m events. For the longer race, the swimmers were transported by boat and left to swim back to shore alone. According to Hajos, "I must say that I shivered at the thought of what would happen if I got a cramp from the cold water. My will to live completely overcame my desire to win". The Games of 1900 were held in Paris as part of the Exposition Universelle Internationale - the Paris World's Fair. The exposition organizers spread the events over five months and de-emphasized their Olympic status to such an extent that many athletes died without ever knowing that they had participated in the Olympics.

Extractions: Boxing There are no prizes for guessing that boxing is one of the most controversial of Olympic sports. Although the amateur boxing practiced at the Games is a far cry from professional bouts, its critics still believe it to be brutal, barbaric and unacceptably dangerous. Indeed, it is difficult to reconcile with the Olympic ideal a sport in which combatants aim to physically hurt one another. That aside, the sport has also produced some of the great names in Olympic history. The most famous of them is without doubt Cassius Clay.

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? For a sport to be Olympic in 1900 it had to be an open sport, amateur and international, not handicapped and not motorised. The long-held view was that women took part in just

Ramos, 30, fighting as an Individual Olympic Athlete in the lightweight category, lasted until 1:37 into the second round of the four-round contest before going under to Ghana's Raymond Narh on points 15-0. The fight was ended by Russian referee Stanislav Kirsanov under the competition's 15-point rule. The special International Olympic Committee (IOC) ruling, only the second of its kind in Olympic history following Yugoslavia's participation at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, enabled Ramos to compete in Sydney even though East Timor does not yet fulfil criteria for formal Olympic recognition. "I expected the Ghanaian to be strong. I feel well, but I'm not happy that the fight finished in the second round," Ramos said through an interpreter.
