The Paralympic Games, in terms of complexity, duration and the number of competitors, are second only to the Olympic Games. The fundamental philosophy guiding the Paralympic movement is that athletes with disabilities should have opportunities to pursue their goals in sport equivalent to those of non-disabled athletes. Athletes who compete in the Paralympics set their sights on the dream of winning a gold medal, are committed to strenuous training regimes and meet strict qualifying standards to be selected to their national team. The Paralympic Games represent a commitment to excellence that allows elite athletes to achieve their personal best. The Paralympic Games exemplify the Olympic ideal of participation and sportsmanship.

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.

@import url("/olympics/css/athens_smh.css"); Welcome to 2004 Olympics. Skip directly to: Search Box Section Navigation Content Where eagles (and eels) dare May 29, 2004 Page Tools Email to a friend Printer format The Olympic Games were inspired by ideals as wide-ranging as they were lofty. The father of the modern Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, believed sport might foster nothing short of world peace and brotherhood. And by "sport" de Coubertin meant much more than being the fastest, highest or strongest. It involved, he said, "moral and intellectual development". Such broad aims should preserve a place for those with the courage and determination to try their best, even if it is without any hope of winning. But that's not how Jacques Rogge sees it. The president of the International Olympic Committee thinks the no-hopers should stay home. He wants "to avoid what happened in swimming in Sydney". What happened was Eric the Eel. Swimmer Eric Moussambani, from Equatorial Guinea, was not merely slow, he was barely afloat. There was no doubt he would come last in the men's 100 metres, the only question was whether he would drown before he could touch the wall. Yet his slowest time in Olympic history won him the best accolade of all: the heart of the crowd (plus sponsorships, coaching and international celebrity). Back home the president of Equatorial Guinea promised to build an Olympic pool so Eric wouldn't have to train in a river infested with crocodiles (which were, presumably, either very slow or vegetarian).

"Y ou can sense the desperation as the U.S picks up its defense," TV commentator and former Olympian Doug Collins said as the U.S. Olympic basketball team cut a 22-point deficit to 8 before succumbing to lowly Puerto Rico 92-73 in their opening round game. Collins inadvertently got to the heart of what ails this team. They began to put in a defensive effort only after the situation turned desperate. But this team ought to have been "desperately hungry before the game even started, as it had already suffered an embarrassing blow-out loss to the Italian team in pre-Olympic play. The NBA professionals were outplayed in every phase of the game. Puerto Rico deployed deft passing, constant movement on offense, pure shooting from the perimeter, and a zone defense that forced the U.S. to shoot from outside, where the team shot a ghastly 3 of 24 from the 3-point line, a 3-point line that is significantly closer to the basket than is the NBA line. Playing as if they regretted sacrificing part of their precious summer vacation to play in the Olympics, the U.S. team all but gave the game away, committing nearly as many turnovers (22) as field goals (26). Speaking of Puerto Rico, U.S. Olympian and perhaps its biggest NBA star, Allen Iverson, said, "They play the game the way it's supposed to be played." That's a comment the entire NBA ought to take to heart.

Iba Ralph Boston Boston was one of the most consistently spectacular field performers in U.S. Olympic history. The long jumper won a gold medal in 1960, a silver in 1964 and a bronze in 1968. Two weeks before the 1960 Games, Boston broke Jesse Owens' 25-year-old world record. That record stood until Bob Beamon's amazing jump in Mexico City in 1968. Dan Gable Gable led the U.S. freestyle wrestling charge at two Olympic Games. In the 1972 Games, he won a gold medal in the 70 kg weight class. In 1984, he coached the U.S. freestyle team that won seven out of a possible 10 gold medals. Gable was so dominant a wrestler that between 1963 and 1973, Gable posted a record of 299 wins, six losses and three draws. On his way to the Olympic gold medal, Gable did not allow an opponent to score a point in six matches.
