about us athletes Calendar membership ... rulebook SUPPORT USA BOXING Unlike many Olympic sports being contested at the Olympic Games, the sweet science of amateur boxing provides more than simply a competitive opportunity and Olympic dream for the over 24,000 athlete members of USA Boxing. For so many of its athletes, boxing provides an escape from the streets of the inner cities, a future of selling drugs, serving time in prison or often times a fate even worse. For these kids and young adults whose future appears bleak, the sport provides an opportunity to excel and develop discipline, focus, determination and an iron will to succeed. Many of the young amateur boxers attempting to accomplish their Olympic dreams have already overcome obstacles and hardships which many people cannot even fathom; despite this, they have emerged strong and proud from their trials and tribulations. The sport of amateur boxing has given them great hope where little existed, a path to follow, and in many fortunate cases, a hand to guide them toward a future they didn't know existed. For these young athletes, boxing is a lifeline to the future that they have worked for, dreamed about and are so close to finding. Boxing has forever changed their lives, built their character and strengthened their resolve. They are much more than talented athletes. They are outstanding men and women and role models for the young people who hope to one day follow in their footsteps.

It felt like Olympic boxing mattered. Like it has a future. Andre Dirrell, a baby-faced bolt of charisma and electricity from Flint, Mich., snapped a jab into the face of his Algerian opponent. And then, flashing blistering hand speed, Dirrell stepped in with a flurry of lefts and rights that looked like something out of Sugar Ray Leonard's bag of tricks. "I knew I was the better boxer today," said Dirrell, who advanced when the referee stopped Saturday's fight before the third round. "I took a chance. The punches just started adding up."

The closing ceremonies are on Sunday, August 29, 2004. The Ancient Olympics The ancient Greeks dedicated the Olympic Games to the god Zeus. The original games were held on the plain of Olympia in Peloponnesos, Greece. The Greeks held the first Olympic games in the year 776 BC (over 2700 years ago), and had only one event, a sprint (a short run that was called the "stade"). The race was run by men who competed in the nude. A wreath of olive branches was placed on the winner's head (in Greek, this is called a kotinos). The olive tree was the sacred tree of Athens, Greece. Women were neither allowed to compete in the games nor to watch them, because the games were dedicated to Zeus and were therefore meant for men.

Blackistone: Games won't be forgotten Horn: NBC likes what it sees ... More Olympics Ward, 20, from Oakland, Calif., believes he did his part to bolster the beleaguered American amateur sport by charging ahead in the last half of his bout to defeat Belarus' Magomed Aripgadjiev, 20-13. The gold medal was the United States' first in Olympic boxing since 1996. "It definitely lifted the spirits a little bit," Ward said. "I hope that in 2008, we start to be respected again like we used to be in '76, '88 and '84." With Ward's gold and middleweight Andre Dirrell's bronze, the United States finished sixth in the boxing team standings. That's a drop of two medals and one slot from what was considered a disappointing performance in Sydney. Cuba again led in golds with five and medals with eight.

Their competition, the International Mathematical Olympiad , is already over.

Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Olympic Boxing Medalists Table of Contents History Light Flyweight Flyweight Bantamweight ... Other Resources History The first "Olympic" boxing tournament was held in conjunction with the 1904 Games at St. Louis. However, it took place well after athletes from Europe had gone home and, although it was theoretically open to amateurs from any country, only U. S. boxers competed. As a result, there's a great deal of doubt whether the winners should be considered true Olympic champions. Boxing was an official Olympic event in 1908. After skipping 1912, the sport has been on every Olympic program since 1920. Since 1936, the International Amateur Boxing Association has awarded the Val Barker Cup to the Olympic boxer displaying the best style and technique. Bal Barker was the first general-secretary of the association. Competitors take part in a single-elimination tournament with no seeding. Through 1948, the boxers who lost in the semi-final were matched in a fight for the bronze medal. Since 1952, bronze medals have been awarded to both semi-final losers. There are five judges for an Olympic bout. Through 1988, a majority vote of the judges determined the outcome. A computerized scoring system was adopted in 1992. Under that system, a judge is supposed to press a button to record each punch landed by a fighter and, if three of the five judges agree, that fighter is awarded a point. If the fight ends in a tie, the high and low scores are dropped and the scores of the three remaining judges are added.

The headgear and white area gloves seen here are not used in professional boxing fights Boxing is a combat sport . In both amateur and professional versions, the fighters wear padded gloves, attacking only with the front of the fist. In professional boxing each round usually lasts for three minutes and there may be 4-12 rounds in a bout. The winner is the one who knocks out his opponent or is judged to be the winner at the end of the bout or if the referee or ring side doctor stops the fight. Boxing is also called Pugilism and prizefighting. Contents Origins Pre-Queensberry Era Queensberry Rules Amateur Boxing ... edit Origins Fighting with the fists for sport and spectacle is probably as old as sport itself. Boxing contests are found throughout antiquity. Greek boxers would wear boxing gloves (not padded) and wrappings on their arms below the elbows, but were otherwise naked when competing. There is evidence to suggest that boxing was prevalent in North Africa during 4000 BC. First accepted as an Olympic sport (the ancient Greeks called it Pygmachia) in 688 BC, participants in the ancient games trained on punching bags (called a korykos). Keeping their fingers free, boxers then wore leather straps (called himantes) on their hands, wrists, and sometimes lower arms, to protect them from injury.
