Extractions: Biography of Billy Mills Biography of Billy Mills who won the 10,000 meter race at the 1964 Oylmpic games in Tokyo, Japan. He earned a gold medal in what has been called one of the greatest upsets in Olympic History Born June 30, 1938 in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, Billy Mills is an Oglala Sioux Indian whose given Native-American name is Loves His Country. Although an outstanding long distance runner, Mills' accomplishment at the 1964 Summer Olympic games in Tokyo, Japan stands as one of the most shocking upsets in modern sports. Mills grew up on an Oglala Sioux Indian reservation and was orphaned at the age of 12. He first became involved with distance running while attending the Haskell Institute, an Indian school in the city of Lawrence, Kansas. He had taken up running as part of a rigorous training program to become a boxer. However, he abandoned boxing in favor of running. His talent and hard work made him a natural at several distance events. Mills entered the Univesity of Kansas in the late 1950s and proceeded to improve upon the times he had posted at the Haskell Institute. He was a 1958 and 1959 All-American in cross country while at Kansas. In 1960, Mills won the individual title in the Big Eight Conference's cross country tournament. The following year, Mills was the conference champion in the two-mile race with a time just over nine minutes. The Kansas team, filled with gifted track and field athletes, won the 1959 and 1960 NCAA outdoor national championships.

The Olympic symbol of five coloured interlocking rings represent the five continents in our world combined. Asia, Australia, America, Africa and Europe. Over the years of the event, many countries have issued stamps celebrating the Olympic Games. Laurie Smyth, ABC Gippsland's own postal historian, has always taken an interest in stamps and dragged out his Olympic stamp collection to share with us during this Olympic year. "The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896 with Greece issuing twelve stamps to mark the occasion," says Laurie. Laurie's collection shows all twelve stamps. Brand new, these stamps would reach around $5000.

Extractions: Three years later Robinson was nearly killed in a plane crash. She was unconscious for seven weeks, having sustained multiple injuries to her arms and legs. When she came round she spent six months in a wheelchair. It was two years before she could walk normally. Her injuries meant that she could no longer assume the crouched starting position for sprints. This did not prevent her competing in relays and in the 1936 Olympic Games was fit enough to become a member of the gold medal winning 100 metres team. Mikio Oda won the triple jump final and Yoshiyuki Tsuruta was successful in the 200 meter breaststroke. Both these competitors were from Japan and were the first Asians athletes to win gold medals. Crown Prince Olav of Norway was a member of the crew that won the six-meter yachting event. He later became King of Norway for over 34 years.

The New York Times: This Day In Sports

http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/sports/year_in_sports/10.14.html

Extractions: October 14, 1964 TOKYO (AP)-Billy Mills took up running to get in shape as a boxer while attending an Indian school for orphans and went on to score one of Americaís greatest track triumphs. "Iím flabbergasted, I can hardly believe it," the Marine lieutenant beamed today after beating 37 of the worldís top endurance racers for the Olympic gold medal in the 10,000 meters. A complete dark horse who barely sneaked onto the United States squad in the last race of the qualifying trials at Chicago, he was about a 1,000-to-1 shot. "Still, I always felt I had an outside chance because I had been training well," he said. "I have been running 100 miles a week until the last two weeks. Then I settled down to long, easy running. I felt the spark and spring coming back to my legs." The winner, who had run the 10,000 only five times previously and never beaten the leading United States hope, Gerry Lindgren, said he knew he had a good chance with five laps to go. Mills said he believed he could outkick Mohamed Gammoudi of Tunisia, the second-place finisher. The surprise 10,000-meter champion is 26 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 155 pounds. He was born in Pine Ridge, S.D., a town with a population of 2,000. He was in the eighth grade when he started running, just to condition himself for the boxing ring. After losing his first two bouts-winding up with a pair of big black eyes-he decided to stick to running exclusively. His mother died when he was a baby and his father passed away when he was 12.

Extractions: Entering the 1964 Games riding a 37-game Olympic winning streak, the U.S. hopes of extending that streak were clouded by the possibility of a boycott of the Olympics by black American athletes. The boycott never happened and black players, who since the 1956 Olympics had become an important part of the U.S. Olympic basketball program, secured five places on the 1964 USA team. Finding the path through the preliminary competition relatively easy, the U.S. defeated, in order, Australia, 78-45; Finland, 77-51; Peru, 60-45; Uruguay, 83-28; Yugoslavia, 69-61; Brazil, 86-53, and South Korea, 116-50.

Extractions: Friday, September 29 Racewalkers running into more strife David Powell From David Powell, Athletics Correspondent, in Sydney Eight more disqualifications in Olympic racewalking today and the second-biggest blister on the toe of athletics was under examination once again. After drugs, there is nothing like walking the walk to invite the trash talk. Or, more precisely, running the walk. When the mens 20km walk at the 1993 world championships in Stuttgart finished up like a John Cleese sketch, the message rang loud and clear that racewalking needed to tidy itself up. Too many athletes were, effectively, running. Seven years later, little has changed. In Stuttgart, five walkers were disqualified in the last 400 metres while the chief judge behaved like a demented traffic warden, circling the stadium waving his red disqualification disc. However, calls for racewalking to lose its championship licence came to nothing. In both 20km walks here, the mens eight days ago and the womens yesterday, the athlete with the gold medal seemingly won was disqualified. Yesterday, in the 50km walk, such an embarrassment was spared as Robert Korzeniowski, from Poland, completed a historic Olympic double, the disqualifications being applied to chasing athletes. However, it was enough to keep the issue burning as hot as the morning sun, 81 degrees when Korzeniowski entered the Olympic stadium to become the first athlete to do the 20 and 50km double. No other walker had managed it, even at separate Olympics.

Billy Mills "To our relatives of the Red Lake Chippewa Reservation..." - A message from Billy Mills. Olympic Champion, Billy Mills, serves as Running Strong's National Spokesperson, encouraging Native youth with his message based on character, dignity and pride. He plays an integral role in our youth programs and is an invaluable resource with our work in Indian country. In Lakota culture, someone who has achieved success would have a 'giveaway' to thank the support system of family and friends who helped him achieve his goal. Billy's work with Running Strong is his way of giving something back to American Indian people. Billy is an Oglala Lakota (Sioux) born and raised on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Orphaned at the age of 12, he chose running as a positive focus in his life. After breaking numerous high school track records, Billy received an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Kansas. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as an officer in the United States Marine Corps where he trained for the Olympics, making the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Team in the 10,000m. and the marathon.

Extractions: Power and glory of the Games Print article email story Paris - The Olympic Games, an international festival of sport which originated in ancient Greece, were revived in the 19th century by a French aristocrat worried by young Frenchmen not getting enough physical education at school. The ancient Olympics were mainly about the ruling classes preparing for war and barred women. Successive presidents of the International Olympic Committee, which Baron Pierre de Coubertin set up in 1894, were just as eager to keep the working classes and women in their place. He took as his model the British and American upper class educational system of enlightened paternalism. The Greeks had twice tried to revive the Games, in 1859 and 1870, so the first Olympic Games, since the Roman emperor Theodosius had banned them in AD 393, were held in Athens. 1896 Athens The nine sports on the Olympic programme were athletics, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, lawn tennis, shooting, swimming, weightlifting and wrestling. A Greek architect Georgios Averoff picked up most of the bill and many of the competitors were simply tourists visiting Athens at the time.
