Some are obvious - like Cathy Freeman's golden run in Sydney and Muhammad Ali's lighting of the cauldron in Atlanta. Others are a matter of personal preference. Athens was no different. In almost every sport there were memories to cherish. From the feats of Ian Thorpe Michael Phelps and Jodie Henry in the pool to unforgettable victories by Kelly Holmes and Hicham El Guerrouj on the track, every winner had a story to tell. And so did most of the losers. Losers like Jana Pittman , Wilson Kipketer and Alex Popov, who weren't losers at all, but were winners without gold medals. For the Greeks, these Games were a triumph. Not because they were the best ever, but because in the main, they went without a hitch. Because, despite the doubters, they opened on schedule, and because - perhaps against all odds in today's world - for a little more than two weeks they recaptured the spirit of the ancient Olympics. The centrepiece of these Games was the thoroughly modern stadium with its Santiago Calatrava-designed roof.

"Athens 2004 we're definitely going," said Roddick's coach, Brad Gilbert, shrugging off fears that the the event is too close to his charge's defence of the U.S. Open title. Former world number one Lleyton Hewitt of Australia cited that reason for his withdrawal from the Olympics on Thursday.. The Olympic Games are scheduled for August 15-22, ending eight days before the start of the U.S. Open, where Roddick will defend his first major title. Roddick hired Gilbert, who previously coached Andre Agassi, after he suffered a first-round loss in the French Open this year. With Gilbert, Roddick reached the Wimbledon semifinals, won the U.S. Open and rose to No. 1 in the rankings. Gilbert, who spoke at an Oakland Athletics' fund-raiser in Calfornia, is enthusiastic about the Olympics.

Extractions: Potted History Some early history about women and the Olympics The organisers of the World Exhibition seemed unconcerned about the rights and wrongs of women competing, so their presence was not an issue. To this day there is still confusion as to which events were Olympic and which were World Fair events. So, who were the first female Olympic competitors and champion? For a sport to be Olympic in 1900 it had to be an open sport, amateur and international, not handicapped and not motorised. The long-held view was that women took part in just

Extractions: Home The Olympic Movement Olympic Issues In the Ancient Olympic Games, women were forbidden to take part. Married women 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. When the Olympic Games were revived in 1896 even the founder himself, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, did not agree with women's participation in the Games. This issue was the topic of much debate between the initial members of the IOC. However, women did not take part in the Games until 1900 in Paris. It was here that Britain's Charlotte Cooper became the first female gold medallist in the tennis singles competition. Only one other sport saw women's participation in 1900, golf. 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 larger 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.

The Olympic Games are the creation of the Ancient Greeks with records of the first competition dating back to 776 BC. The Games reigned supreme in Ancient Greece for 12 centuries until in 393 AD Emperor Theodosius founded them to be a pagan celebration and thus ended the competition. It wasn't until the late 1800's that Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin began researching and rallying support for the rebirth of the Olympic Games. His hard work succeeded and in 1896 Athens was the host city of the first of the modern Olympic Games.

Why Losers Are The Real Winners - Olympic Info : Olympic History - olympic fans, ask yourself this why did you enjoy watching Tatiana Grigorievavault with Her own history. She jumped 4.55 metres and stunned herself. http://smh.com.au/olympics/articles/2004/06/18/1089484305112.html
Extractions: September 30, 2000 Olympic fans, ask yourself this: why did you enjoy watching Tatiana Grigorieva vault with the pole? No, besides that. Could it be the same reason you enjoyed watching Jai Taurima in the long jump? Michelle Ferris in the cycling? The little-known Justin Norris in the swimming pool? Perhaps it could. The real reason (okay, the other reason) you loved watching Grigorieva in the pole vault is that she jumped a personal best. Put aside her obvious beauty (and the way she silenced 110,000 sports fans by placing a manicured finger to bee-stung lips). Put aside the silver medal (and the email called The Silver Medallist that is doing the rounds). What, really, is the sporting point? It is that Grigorieva did better than she had ever done before. Sure, American Stacy Dragila went higher and broke a world record. Bully for her. Grigorieva was also making history. Her own history. She jumped 4.55 metres and stunned herself.

Extractions: Tennis competitions quickly attracted more and more participants and spectators. By the early 1900s, the game had become truly international and the best players were traveling to tournaments in other countries. The International Lawn Tennis Federation (now the ITF after the word lawn was dropped) was formed in 1912 with 13 member countries. The first Davis Cup competition between a team of Americans and a Team of British tennis stars was played in 1900. The team competition was the brainchild of a young American player, Dwight Davis. The Americans won the first two Davis Cups. (The second competition was not played until 1902). Britain won the next four. Today, more than 100 countries vie for the Davis Cup. In 1923, Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman began a similar competition for women awarding the (can you guess?) Wightman Cup to the champions.
