43. The Unknown Factor In Sport's Unlike other equestrian sports, the host organisation or country provides Of all the olympic sports, it is perhaps the modern pentathlon that tests the http://www.csu.edu.au/division/marketing/tms/TO92/TO92-ol3.htm

the unknown factor in sport's ultimate test Maki Takken, aspiring Australian pentathlete in training at CSU’s equine centre in Wagga Wagga. story sally graham photos lee verrall I t is the second-last event in the Olympic pentathlon and competitors anxiously await the start as the quivering of horse flesh beside them seems to imitate the trembling of their own bodies. The pentathletes are about to mount horses they know nothing about, with just 20 minutes to warm up, before tackling double and treble jumps and 10 other obstacles in the showjumping event. It’s the least predictable and most challenging of the pentathlon sports. The highly tuned athletes not only rely on their own skills and fitness – they are also at the mercy of an unknown element: a horse. The temperament and ability of the horse is an extremely important factor in the competition. The person given the task of selecting horses for the event therefore plays a crucial role. For the Sydney 2000 Olympics, that job is in the hands of Shannon O’Meara, who arrived at Charles Sturt University’s (CSU’s) Wagga Wagga Campus in March as Head Trainer. As the official supplier of equine services to the Sydney 2000 Olympics, CSU will accommodate and manage 20 horses to be trained for the Olympic competition at its Equine Centre.

46. Why Too Many Olympic Sports Are Neither  By Jonathon Kahn Add to these traditional events such as equestrian, sailing, and shooting. Lots of olympic sports are obscure, including the ones we like to watch. http://slate.msn.com/id/86069/

Why Too Many Olympic Sports Are Neither By Jonathon Kahn Posted Wednesday, July 12, 2000, at 8:30 PM PT The modern Olympics has consisted of an eclectic and heady mix: archery and equestrian, track and field and swimming, wrestling and weightlifting. But where the Olympics' eclecticism was once a strength, today's version of diversity is its greatest flaw. While people often complain about the opening up of the Olympiad to professionals or the lavishing of vast inequities of attention, prestige, and money on different sports, the real problem is the inclusion of two (occasionally overlapping) categories: 1) Events, often high-profile, for which the Olympics is not that sport's premier competition. These are nothing more than gussied-up exhibitions. 2) Events that are called sports but really aren't. Call these the bogus or silly sports. The combination of the two does ruthless damage to the notion that the Olympics celebrates world-class contests of athletic excellence. Continue Article placeAd(2,'slate.homepage/slate')

Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... 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.

document.write("Included JS file not found") Saturday July 9, 2005 2008 Olympic Equestrian Events Moved to Hong Kong The Secretary for Home Affairs, Dr. Patrick Ho, welcomed the International Olympic Committee's decision to name Hong Kong as the venue for the equestrian events at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The annnouncement came on June 8. Dr. Ho also thanked the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) for its confidence in Hong Kong. "I believe that Hong Kong people are taking a favorable and positive view towards this once-in-a-life-time event and sharing the joy of our country. The community at large also looks to the event to further promote the development of elite sports in Hong Kong, to enhance the vitality of the community and as a means to boost our economy." He also said the government fully understood the concerns expressed by elite athletes and was committed to ensure that the daily training of the athletes would not be adversely affected due to the temporary reprovisioning of the Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI). The Hong Kong Jockey Club will make use of the existing sites of Penfold Park and the HKSI to construct horse stables and equine quarantine facilities, as well as horse training grounds. The HKSI will also be used as the venue for staging two of the core equestrian events, namely dressage and show jumping. In addition, the Beas River Country Club and part of the Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling will be used as the venue for the cross-country events.

53. 15th Asian Games - Doha - 2006 equestrian is the ultimate in team sports, a horse and rider working together equestrian events were included in the olympic Games for the first time in http://www.dohasiangames.org/en/asian_games_2006/sports/equestrian.htm

DEFINITION This is the only Olympic sport where man and animal are established team-mates, and one of the few where men and women compete on equal terms. Equestrian is the ultimate in team sports, a horse and rider working together for years to hone feats of grace, daring, agility and speed. Chariot races and horse riding appeared in Greece's ancient Games, but most of the equestrian programme as we know it began in the Olympic Games of 1912. It includes three disciplines - dressage, jumping and the three-day event - each with individual and team competition. HISTORY Equestrian events were included in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1900 and then in 1912, in a format very similar to that which will be used at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. In the past, the three-day event (Eventing) was restricted to military officers, while the jumping and dressage competitions were open to civilians, but only a handful of civilian riders competed until 1948. Up to that time the growth of the sport had been rapid, but relatively few competitors were involved in international competitions. They all knew each other and the judges and were accepting of local variations to the fairly simple rules which existed. With the inclusion of the sport in the Olympic Games, it became obvious that some internationally recognised rules for the three Olympic disciplines were essential. In May 1921, delegates from 10 national equestrian organisations met in Lausanne to discuss the formation of an international federation.
