These sports have been a part of the Olympic competition schedule since the first Olympic Games in 1896 . Coubertin (1875) himself said the following: " We need a sport that combines swimming, cycling and running, which are all so popular; a modern, dynamic sport to celebrate the Olympic spirit of fair-play, endurance, force, ability and passion

Extractions: The triathlete's favourite The Royal Windsor Triathlon has grown to be the best race in Great Britain with no less than five BTA "Event of the Year" awards in the last six years, including scooping the double of BTA Event of the Year 2004 as well as the inaugural 220 Triathlon Magazine award for Race of the Year 2004. With over 2,200 entries in 2005, the race was filled three months bfore the event took place so early booking is strongly recommended!!. Remember that both registration and bike racking are only possible on Saturday, and the first waves will begin at 6.00am on the Sunday morning. No other event in the world can compare with the historical backdrop of Windsor Castle, Eton College and the majestic River Thames. The river swim is followed by a bike course that takes in a number of villages around beautiful Berkshire and returns through Windsor Great Park. The multi-lap run course winds around the Great Castle, over Eton Bridge and along Eton High Street, passing famous Eton College. The event takes in 900 years of British history! "The Windsor Triathlon has the full backing of the whole town and with over 400 support crew, marshals and safety personnel in attendance, you will be guaranteed a superb event again this summer", says John Lunt, Event Director. Seen on television for the last four years, the race is expected to be back on TV screens again this year. Several thousand spectators will pack the streets to watch the race on the warm summer morning.

Extractions: @import "/olympics/2004/css/main.css"; Skip navigation ABC Home Radio Television ... News Every Olympic Games provides us with defining moments. 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.

"As if I was somewhere else, and the board was moving by itself in the final meters." When he crossed the finish line, and realized he had won Israel's first gold medal in any sport, he wrapped himself in the Israeli flag and plunged into the water, his tears mixing with the salt water of Saronic Gulf.
