Extractions: THE OLYMPIC GAMES HOME SITE INDEX CATAMARAN HULL SOLAR PANELS ... SPONSORS Although the ancient Olympic games were first recorded in 776 BC, they originated at least a century before that and possibly as early as the 13th century BC. One Greek legend said that the great Herakles (Hercules, in the Roman form) won a race at Olympia, a plain in the small state of Elis, and then decreed that the race should be re-enacted every four years. Another said that Zeus himself had originated the festival after defeating Cronus for the sovereignty of heaven. Olympic Gymnasium 776 BC The more likely story is that the Olympic festival was a local religious event until 884 BC, when Iphitus, the king of Elis, decided to turn it into a broader, pan-Hellenic festival. To accomplish that, he entered into a temporary truce with other rulers, allowing athletes and others to travel peacefully to Olympia while the festival was going on. The Greeks based their chronology on four-year periods called Olympiads, and the Olympic festival marked the beginning of each Olympiad. Evidently, the festival was reorganized in 776 BC, which was considered the start of the first Olympiad.

In each event athletes are classified by the nature and degree of their physical disability. These programs have now evolved from a fun and games recreational philosophy into highly structured and meaningful competitions at the international level.

Extractions: October 05, 2000 Some like to think of the Olympic Games as the non-political antidote to geopolitical strife. Not so. On the official, bureaucratic level, ideology and the Olympics are becoming increasingly, and ever more ridiculously, intertwined. Take the distribution of 51 condoms to each competitor in Sydney. "The contraceptives," reported the London newspaper the Mirror, "were issued in a variety of styles, fruit flavors, and textures including one called rough rider." Why 51 and not 49, or 52? Because, silly, the Games spanned 17 days and the athletes needed a daily regimen of three. This politically correct stunt became fodder for jokes, and deservingly so. Jay Leno quipped that "the last time anyone was given 51 condoms [was] when Clinton visited the Miss America pageant. Remember, Puerto Rico was there." But handing out contraception under such circumstances presumably, most residents of the Olympic Village didnt know one another before they moved in makes a statement about condoned sexual behavior which would make Hugh Hefner very proud indeed. Then there was the joint appearance at the opening ceremonies of the South Korean and North Korean teams, marching behind the flag a blue outline of the Korean peninsula on a field of white of neither country. The crowd of 110,000 at Stadium Australia cheered and applauded heartily, and Olympic boss Juan Antonio Samaranch declared that the march-in symbolized "friendship" and "peace."

Extractions: Leaving a great situation is never easy, but for Meg Sanders who came to Arizona State from Northern Arizona as the all-time winningest coach in Lumberjack history last year, the opportunity in Tempe was too much to turn down. Sanders enters her second year as ASU's associate head coach after spending the previous 10 years at NAU. She served as an assistant coach for then head coach Charli Turner Thorne for three years (1993-96) and then took over for Turner Thorne at the helm for the next seven seasons (1997-2003). In her seven years as head coach at NAU, Sanders turned in a 107-92 record and led the Lumberjacks to three of the four best seasons in the program's history (22-6 in 1997-98, 17-11 in 1996-97 and 17-11 in 2001-02). In 1997-98, she became the first coach to lead NAU to a 20-win season, the first to win a conference title, the first to be named Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year and the first to defeat the University of Montana. "It was very tough to leave Northern Arizona and Flagstaff, but I am excited for what is ahead at ASU," Sanders said. "Charli and I talked at great length about what a great place ASU is, and when I came here and saw the resources and people and everything that is taking place in this program, I knew it was a special place. When I saw how driven the players are and how hard they are willing to work, I knew it was an environment any coach would dream to be in. Our goals at ASU are so high but so realistic, and to be able to work with these student-athletes and Charli and her staff, it was a golden opportunity I couldn't turn down."
