Black Gold: How Political Correctness Clouds an Olympic Victory by Jef Allen Precise. Webster’s dictionary defines the word “precise” as something that is “exactly or sharply defined or stated.” One of the challenges a writer faces when trying to convey the essence a topic to their audience is the use of language and style. You want your words to be pithy, without being so contrived as to send the reader to the dictionary or thesaurus every other word. You also want your choices to bring clarity to your subject. The object is to avoid ambiguity, and to communicate as clearly and directly as possible. Unfortunately, in the modern world of politically correct, Newspeak journalism, this no longer appears to be the case. Entered as exhibit “A” is the example of the media’s treatment of Ms. (Mrs.?) Vonetta Flowers, America’s newest Olympic hero (heroine?), and gold medallist in this week’s two-man (two-woman?) bobsled event. It seems that the media, from NBC to the New York Times and everyone in between, insists on referring to Vonetta Flowers as the “first African-American woman” to win Olympic gold in the Winter Games.

'A Day Away' By RICHARD LANDON Richard Landon HOME NEWS OBITUARIES BUSINESS NEWS ... TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS PAGE! Olympic Museum enlightening place LAKE PLACID — Television ads are just beginning to herald the upcoming Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. More than two decades have passed since Lake Placid hosted the 1980 games. We drove over to look at a museum commemorating that occasion — and the earlier 1932 Olympics in the same village. This museum opened in 1994 alongside the ice rinks of the Olympic Center. Despite all the events I’ve attended in the complex, I’d never previously visited these exhibits. We found a very engaging set of displays. An introductory video showcases the area’s scenic beauty, then tells the story of how Lake Placid, America’s oldest winter resort, produced the Winter Olympics on two separate occasions. Credit Godfrey Dewey for the initial impetus. His father’s decision to leave the Lake Placid Club open for the winter of 1904-05 first made this a winter destination. Though the summer Olympics had resumed in 1896, only in 1924 did ice and snow sports gain the spotlight. Dewey attended the first event in Chamonix, France, and came back determined to bring the Olympics to Lake Placid. 1932 Winter Olympics Photographs, memorabilia, and detailed information further told the story. New York state contributed $125,000 toward the bobsled run. A village bond issue covered most other expenses, including construction of a hockey rink and speedskating track. Seventeen nations participated in six sports. Adirondack weather turned unpredictable; snow had to be trucked in daily from Maine.

Olympic History ... Chamonix, France Site of the First Winter Games By Susan Thomas Chamonix (pronounced Sham-oh-nee) is a quaint little town with the language and food of France, and the beauty and class of Switzerland. It was here that the early Olympic organizers decided to hold the very first Winter Games. An ice rink in the shadow of 15,000-foot Mont Blanc provided the setting for skating. A snow made bobsled run, which no longer exists, ran from part way up the mountain and into the town. And the skiing of course took place on the slopes where skiers flock every winter, 74 years later. At the time of the first Winter Games, a train moved people about half way up the mountain to the glacier, Mer de Glace. The train has been upgraded and it is still there for sightseeing. The Mer de Glace is an impressive, immense glacier that runs down the flanks of Mont Blanc almost touching the town of Chamonix. The glacier reaches down into the valley like a crooked old finger made of old snow and blue ice. It wasn't until 1955, 3 decades after those first games, that the Telepherique (tram) de l'Aiguille Du Midi (that's the high peak at the top, translated as the Needle of Noon) carried locals and tourists all the way to the top of the Mer de Glace. Now, that tram lures people from all over the world to Chamonix.

All the honorees earned their nominations for results achieved at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, as the U.S. enjoyed its most successful Games in history by winning 34 medals. Speedskater Chris Witty (West Allis, Wis.) won Female Athlete of the Month honors. Having been diagnosed with mononucleosis a month earlier, Witty went out and set a world record and earned the gold medal in the women's 1000-meters with a time of 1:13:83. Before she took the ice, no woman had ever broken the 1:14 barrier. Witty also set personal bests in the 1500m and 500m. Witty just missed the podium in the 1500-meters with a time of 1:55.71 to place fifth. In the 500, Witty placed 14th. On the men's side, long track speedskater

BUILDING PLANS International Institute for Sport and Olympic History Future spot for architect's drawing! The search is on. We have begun looking for land in central Pennsylvania to build a campus for the Institute. Our plan is described in more detail below. Eventually we anticipate that this campus will be one of the largest sports facilities in Pennsylvania. The IISOH effectively has two divisions the Library and the Museum. The Board of Directors are seeking benefactor(s) to endow each division with a $25 million donation. An endowment will also be sought for the theatre in the amount of $25 million. The benefactor(s) will then be offered the opportunity to name the Library, Museum or theatre, subject to the final approval of the Board of Directors. Go to the ENDOWMENTS page. Our plans are to construct facilities on a campus approximately 300 acres in size. This will allow us have room for expansion in the decades to come as we increase the endowment and add sports facilities to the educational program. Sports fields are desirable in order to teach through participation and play. If we have a baseball field we can teach the history of baseball by playing a game using 1860 rules for 3 innings, then playing by modern rules for 3 innings. In the basement of the Museum we could have a bowling alley from the 1800's where the pins have to be set by hand, and right next to it have a modern bowling alley that is fully automated. Our visitors can go bowling either way. Consider the possibilities for each and every sport this means a lot of space is needed.

The History of the Olympic Games Quick Links Origins of the Games The Modern Olympics Olympic Events Symbols of the Games ... Related Links for Further Study The Olympics are a multi-sport event that takes place every four years. The modern summer Olympics have been held every 4 years since 1896 except during the World Wars. The Olympic competitions for winter sports began in 1924. They were held in the same year as the summer Olympics until 1994, when they began to be held on separate 4-year cycles that were staggered by two years. Origins of the Games The Olympics have their origins in ancient Greece. Many myths exist as to how the games began. One of these is that the god Zeus held the first Olympics as a celebration of his victory over his father, Cronus, after which he became the king of the gods. Another of these myths traces the origin of the games to a commemoration of the chariot race between Pelops and King Oenomaus, in which Pelops won the hand of the King’s daughter. The games were held in Olympia in particular because of its religious importance, for an important temple of Zeus was located there, but also because of its location, for it was an easy port for Greeks coming from neighboring territories to reach.

A Canadian blogger has dedicated a site to those athletes who secured their place in sporting history by coming last instead of first. There is even a league table of nations with the most last places - currently topped by the next Games' host, China. Blogger Jonathan Crowe, 32, of Quebec, insists the site is more about honouring the losers than mocking them. "The site's light-hearted. It's trying to have a little fun but its emphatically not trying to make fun of anybody," he told the BBC's World Today programme. "In fact, the point of the site essentially is to recognise the fact that even the worst finish at the Olympics is an order of magnitude better than anything the rest of us could do." 'Gallant losers' While the Olympics is primarily about winning, notable previous losers have made it into Olympic history, such as the Jamaican bobsled team and Britain's Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards ski-jumper.

The unheralded duo's two-run total time in their bobsled — USA 2 — of 1 minute, 37.76 seconds at the Utah Olympic Park easily beat the two German teams that walked away with the silver and bronze medals. The better-known American team of driver Jean Racine and brakeman Gea Johnson, in USA 1, finished fifth.

Olympic Games, Spirit and Modern History " The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well." Olympic Creed The Olympic Movement The first recorded Ancient Games was held in 776 B.C. in ancient Europe, but evidence suggests that Games were being held long before that. Originally, competition consisted of a single foot race over a distance of 200 meters, but within a short time, the event grew to include five sports or a pentathlon. The "Olympiad" became an important event and was held every four years. During Olympic years, warring city-states were encouraged to lay down their weapons and to compete in peace on the playing field instead of on the battlefield. The Olympic Games were canceled in 394 A.D. for religious reasons. Greece, as part of the Roman Empire, had become Christian and the games were considered Pagan. Centuries later, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French educator and historian, recommended that the Olympic Games be restored. Coubertin believed in the spirit of Olympism; a set of values that enhance the physical, intellectual and spiritual growth of participants through sport, art and music, while promoting friendship and understanding throughout the world. Due to his work, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was established and Athens, Greece had the honor of being the first city to host the modern Games in the year l896. June 23, l896 was designated as "Olympic Day" throughout the world.
