Europe Map, 1000 B.C.-1 A.D. According to tradition, the most important athletic competitions were inaugurated in 776 B.C. at Olympia in the Peloponnesos. By the sixth century B.C., other Panhellenic ( pan =all, hellenikos =Greek) games involving Greek-speaking city-states were being held at Delphi, Nemea, and Isthmia. Many local games, such as the Panathenaic games at Athens, were modeled on these four periodoi , or circuit games. The Pythian games at Delphi honored Apollo and included singing and drama contests; at Nemea, games were held in honor of Zeus; at Isthmia, they were celebrated for Poseidon; and at Olympia, they were dedicated to Zeus, although separate games in which young, unmarried women competed were celebrated for Hera. The victors at all these games brought honor to themselves, their families, and their hometowns. Public honors were bestowed on them, statues were dedicated to them, and victory poems were written to commemorate their feats. Numerous vases are decorated with scenes of competitions and the odes of Pindar celebrate a number of athletic victories.

Extractions: CNNSI.com Olympics coverage Results Medal Tracker CNN/Money Olympics report (CNN) Forget an ounce of prevention. Think tons. Vault-like. Whatever conjures images of impenetrability or extreme defense, the Pentagon has provided it in Salt Lake City, Utah, to make the Winter Olympics as safe as possible. As the hour nears for the Opening Ceremony on Friday night an event President Bush will attend the local airport will halt all air traffic. The same will happen during the closing ceremony. Starting Friday, airspace will be restricted in a 45-mile radius around Salt Lake City. All small aircraft will need special clearance to land there, and they will first have to travel to one of four nearby gateway airports and undergo security sweeps. Monitoring airspace over the 110-by-35-mile swath of Utah where Olympic events will be held is a major part of the overall effort. The North American Aerospace Defense Command will conduct combat air patrols over the area, using F-16 fighters.

Extractions: CNNSI.com Olympics coverage Results Medal Tracker CNN/Money Olympics report SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (CNN) They were touted as the most secure Games in Olympics history, but they may well be remembered as one of the most contentious. First came the international uproar surrounding the pairs figure skating finals, when judges bypassed the Canadian team in favor of a Russian duo. More controversy ensued as Russia claimed it was being slighted and joined South Korea in threatening to walk out of the Games. The Russian Duma, the lower house of parliament, unanimously passed a resolution Friday instructing Russian athletes to boycott the Closing Ceremonies if its concerns weren't addressed. Russian President Vladimir Putin also expressed his displeasure with the Games but backed away from the threat of a pullout.
