"That helps with continuity and it helps to be a consistent team and have a chance to compete for conference title and get teams qualified for the NCAAs." Such success obviously can lead to a wandering professional eye, but neither Morris nor Hyndman appear interested in new pastures.
Collier: Olympic Sports To Erase The best example of hypocrisy in sport is the olympic Games, Dr. Charles Yesalis of Penn State Synchronized swimming may be aesthetically intriguing, 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.
Swimming swimming See the olympic sports animations more. The olympic programme includes 26 individual and six team relay mens and womens events in a 50 m pool. http://www.athens2004.com/en/Swimming
Extractions: Swimming as a discipline went through a number of experimental stages, like the 50 m controlled heating pool, or specially-built conduits that minimise water turbulence, before arriving in its contemporary form as one of the most glamorous events of the Olympic Games. At the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, swimming competitions took place in the yachting marina at Zea (Piraeus). The swimmers got on a boat, and having reached the chilly waters of the Saronic Gulf, they leapt into the sea, swimming towards the finishing line at the Marina Zeasâ shore. From the yachting marina in Zea in 1896, via the river Seine in Paris in 1900, to the 100 m pool within a running track in 1908, Swimming venues have changed. The 100 m event that began in 1896 exclusively for Greek sailors developed into an underwater obstacle course (1900) and ended up as todayâs 32 menâs and womenâs events.
CBBC Newsround | OLYMPIC SPORTS | Aquatics Four sports that all happen in water; swimming, water polo, synchronised swimming set by another swimmer Mark Spitz at the Montreal Olympics in 1976. http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/find_out/guides/sport/olympic_sports/newsid_38
Extractions: Four sports that all happen in water; swimming, water polo, synchronised swimming and diving. In Athens all the aquatic events are taking place in the same venue, the first time this has happened. Some controversy surrounds the aquatics venue though as it hasn't been finished. The builders didn't have time to put a roof over it, so swimmers and spectators will get very warm at the Games. Everyone knows how the swimming works, although swimmers will have to be wary as if they make a single false start in their event they will be disqualified. Diving takes place from a series of high boards, with judges scoring on the difficulty of the dive and the skill of completing it. Synchronised swimming sees pairs or groups of swimmers 'dance' to music. They must complete the complicated moves at the same time to score well. In water polo swimmers try and throw the ball into a goal, a bit like football. Amazingly, players aren't allowed to touch the sides or the bottom of the pool during the game, so they have to keep treading water. Who are the British hopes for Athens?

HickokSports.com - History - Olympic Sports & Disciplines In olympic terms, therefore, the sport is aquatics. swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo are aquatics disciplines. http://www.hickoksports.com/history/olsports.shtml
Extractions: Table of Contents The question of how many sports are included in the Olympics is a bit tricky, because the International Olympic Committee doesn't define a sport in quite the same way that most people do. The IOC recognizes a hierarchy of sports, disciplines, and events. To the IOC, a sport is represented by a single international governing body. To look at a concrete example, most people would say that swimming, diving, synchronised swimming, and water polo are four separate sports. However, the international governing body for all three is the Federation Internationale de Natation. In Olympic terms, therefore, the sport is aquatics. Swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo are aquatics disciplines. An event, in Olympic terms, is any competition for which medals are awarded. So men's platform diving is an event, diving is the discipline, and aquatics is the sport. It should be noted that, for many sports, the sport is also the discipline. That's true, for example, of badminton, baseball, and basketball. It's not true of archery, though; the sport is archery and the discipline is target archery. Target archery happens to be the only archery discipline included in the Olympics, but the International Archery Federation also governs competition in field archery and ski archery, which are considered separate disciplines.

My Olympics For example, baseball and softball are olympic sports, and synchronised swimming is Looking at the Athens 2004 olympics sports page, we see there are 36 http://ldots.org/my_olympics.html
Extractions: With the 2004 Olympics about to begin, I have been thinking about the large number of sports that make up the Olympics. There are too many sports, and a lot of them are stupid. For example, baseball and softball are Olympic sports, and synchronised swimming is ridiculed because it is an art-form rather than a sport. So I have decided to get rid of the stupid sports from the Olympics, and I have decided that removing all sports that do not conform to the Olympic Ideals swifter, stronger, higher is a good place to start. I use these ideals as the basis of removing sports and adding new sports to my Olympic games. Before I start removing sports from my Olympics, I can simplify the Ideals by removing higher , as it is really similar to swifter. I can now throw out all sports that do not fit the two Ieals. However, this does not leave us many sports, so I will keep all sports that can be used to kill people, so I will rewrite the Ideals to read swifter, stronger deadlier
