Search Olympic Sports, Table of Contents Summer Olympic Sports and Disciplines Winter Olympic Sports and Disciplines Criteria for Inclusion Discontinued Sports ... Other Resources 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.

In 2000, professional baseball players were permitted to play in the Olympics. This did have the same effect as allowing professional basketball players to play in the 1992 games, as Major League Baseball was in the middle of the pennant race when the games took place. The United States, however, won the gold medal in 2000. Did You Know? Baseball was a "demonstration" sport seven times between 1912 and 1988. In 1912, the versatile Jim Thorpe led the United States to a victory over Sweden. Though still regarded by many as an American sport, baseball has taken tremendous strides over the last few decades to become more international. Dominican superstars like Sammy Sosa, Manny Ramirez, and Pedro Martinez dot each major league roster and an increasing number of Japanese, Koreans, and Cubans are thriving in what once was a league with only Americans.

News from Commerce Archives Going the Distance U.S. Firms Help Greece Prepare for 2004 Summer Olympic Games By Donald Calvert Office of European and Regional Affairs, Market Access and Compliance WINNING THE CONTRACTS The divisions within the Commerce Department including the U.S. Commercial Service in Greece have helped U.S. companies win over one billion dollars worth of Olympic and Games related contracts. The Commercial Service initially provides American companies with extensive counseling, market assistance, and briefings to discover new opportunities in the Greek market. The staff then conducts promotional events for these companies with hundreds of Greek public and private sector officials in attendance. Some firms are entering the Greek market for the first time, while other firms familiar to the market are introducing new product lines or simply reinvigorating their existing presence in the Greek and greater regional market. The staff of the Commercial Service then helps these companies focus their efforts in winning contracts by guiding them through the intricate bidding process and advancing their standing in meetings with key decision makers at the Athens 2004 Olympic Organizing Committee (ATHOC) and the various Greek Ministries. The Commercial Service in Greece arranges such meetings for U.S. firms and then accompanies the U.S. business representatives to these meetings with key contract and purchase decision makers, and writes follow-up letters of support to help seal the deal and clinch the contracts.

Two months after that 1939 All-Star Game, Wheaties sponsored the first televised commercial sports broadcast when, on August 29, NBC presented a game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers for some 500 owners of television sets in New York City.
