PUERTO RICO HERALD: Puerto Rico's Accomplishments In Sports The US fielded one of the weakest teams in its olympic history, GigiFernandez (tennis and twotime olympic gold medalist representing the US in women s http://www.puertorico-herald.org/issues2/2005/vol09n32/PRSportsBeat0932-en.shtml
Extractions: Shortly after I wrote a column praising Puerto Rico's victory over a U.S. team of NBA players in the first round of the 2004 Olympics, I received the following letter from Herald reader Christopher Young. "Your article perpetuates a willingness to settle for less here on the island of enchantment. The US fielded one of the weakest teams in its Olympic history, and in fact this team performed poorly throughout the games. To hold this up as some great victory for Puerto Rico undercuts the struggle for excellence that Puerto Rico needs to pursue if it is to succeed in this competitive world." Part of what Young says is true. I once sat down to interview a Cuban athlete who had won just about every medal and set every record he could set in his sport. As we talked, we watched two athletes, one representing Puerto Rico, one from the United States, compete against each other. The Cuban, who had no formal education beyond the special sports high school he attended in Havana, said to me: "Do you know why the Puerto Rican lost the match? It's because he doesn't believe he can win. Cubans expect to win, but the Puerto Rican will be happy with third or fourth place." The Cuban went on to say that the athletes of his country and those of the United States are similar because they grow up believing they are champions.

The modest shepherd was revered in Greece, and went on to feature as flag-bearer to the Greek delegation in 1936. THE RENAISSANCE OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES The first Session of the IOC was held in Paris on 23-24 June 1894. It was during the first Session that the city of Athens was selected for the Games of the I Olympiad. The inauguration of the first Games of the modern era, opened by King George I at the foot of the Acropolis on April 5, 1896, was a huge relief for baron Pierre de Coubertin. Greece's instability and economic stature, due to numerous conflicts, proved almost insurmountable obstacles. However, a wealthy Greek architect from Alexandria, George Averoff, donated a gift of one million drachma and in a matter of 18 months a superb white marble stadium, able to hold 60,000 people, was constructed. Many of the events, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, were held in a reconstructed Panathinaiko Stadium, which was originally built in 330 B.C. Baron de Coubertin's dream of reinventing the Games was one he had coveted since 1892 - two years later the official announcement was made and Athens chosen as the site. Baron Pierre de Coubertin invited countries from all over the world to attend the first of the new Olympics in Athens.

Extractions: Women In The Olympic Games In the Ancient Olympic Games, women were forbidden to take part. In fact, they were forbidden to even enter the competition areas as spectators. If they were caught, the punishment was death. Therefore, they created their own games dedicated to the goddess Hera. Hera was the sister-wife of Zeus. The Olympic Games were dedicated to Zeus. In London at the 1908 Games there were 36 women competitors in the figure skating and tennis events. After these Games and a recommendation from the British Olympic Association that women swimmers, divers and gymnasts be allowed to compete in future Games, the Swedish Organising Committee included two swimming events and one diving contest for women at the 1912 Stockholm Games. Finally, in 1924 the IOC decided to allow a large participation of women in the Games. However, there was little evidence of this even by the 1936 Games in Berlin where there were only four sports available to women.

But no one should mistake Daiane dos Santos's apparent physical slightness for frailty. When asked what it would mean to win the Olympic gold in floor exercise for which she is heavily favored, the little gymnast does not define what it would mean. She defines what it will mean.

Extractions: In a tennis game, scores increase according to a sequence of four points: 15, 30, 40, and "game." A score of zero points is known as "love." A player wins a game when he or she scores four points, unless the score is tied at 40. Any time the score is tied, from 40-40 on, the game is considered at "deuce." In a tie, or deuce, situation the player who scores the next point gains the advantage, or "ad." If the server has the advantage, it is referred to as "ad in;" if the receiver has the advantage, it is called "ad out." To win a game, the player with the advantage has to score the next point, otherwise the score returns to deuce and play continues until one player moves ahead by a margin of two points.
