Jumping
In the late 18th century, jumping was an essential feature of the sport of fox hunting. In 1866, Grand Prix Show Jumping was born in Paris. The term Grand Prix translates from French to mean "The richest or greatest prize". The term is also used to designate the most challenging or sophisticated level of competition. In 1906 equestrian sports were proposed as a permanent addition to the Olympic Games. There are seven types of jumps that encompass a full course. They are: The Vertical, a straight up and down fence with no spread to it, this appears simple but in fact is one of the most difficult fences to jump. The Wall, a solid looking fence with top sections which can be dislodged resulting in faults. An Oxer, two elements in one jump to create a spread, parallel Oxers present the most difficulty. A Triple Bar, a spread fence with three of graduating height, very wide but relatively easy to jump. The Combination, a series of two or more fences one or two strides apart. A refusal of any fence in this series requires the horse and rider to re-jump the whole combination. The Water Jump, a broad jump of 12''to 16'', a low hedge usually marks the leading edge, and the horse must clear the tape on the far edge or incur jumping faults. The Gate, a vertical jump made to appear solid by use of planks, gates, brush or balustrades. Riders and horses have been show jumping since the early 1800's, and this event continues to be one of the most popular events in the Olympic Games.

HISTORY
As a sport, fencing began in either the 14th or 15th century and both Italy and Germany lay claim to its origins. German fencing masters organised the first guilds in the 15th century, notably the Marxbruder of Frankfurt in 1480. In 1570 Henri Saint-Didier of France gave names to fencing's major movements and most of that nomenclature remains. From the 16th to the 18th century, sword fights and duels were common. Combatants in these duels used a variety of weapons, including singlesticks, quarterstaffs, and backswords, and the bouts were often bloody and occasionally fatal. Three innovations in the 17th century led to the popularity of fencing as a sport. The first was the development of a light practice weapon with a flattened or "foiled" tip that was also padded to reduce the risk of injury. This weapon was soon called the foil. Second was the development of a set of rules that limited the target to certain areas of the body. The final innovation was the quadrille wire-mesh mask which protected the face and made fencing a safe activity. Fencing was one of the few sports that admitted professionals prior to the 1980s. In fact, the original Olympic rules, written by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (founder and second president of the International Olympic Committee), specifically stated that fencing professionals, called masters, could compete. Events for masters at the Olympics were held in the foil in 1896 and 1900. Masters also competed in épée and sabre events at both the Olympics in 1900 and the Intercalary Olympic Games in 1906.

Fencing History A History of Fencing The history of fencing parallels the evolution of civilization, back from the days of ancient Egypt and Rome, to the barbaric Dark Ages, to the fast and elegant Rennassiance, up to the modern, increasingly popular fencing of today. Fencing has always been regarded as more than a sport; it is an art form, an ancient symbol of power and glory, and a deeply personal, individual form of expression. Fencing is and always has been an intrinsic part of life, from the dueling and battle of yore to the widely captivating movies and facets of popular culture such as Zorro and The Princess Bride. The earliest evidence of fencing as a sport comes from a carving in Egypt, dating back to about 1200 B.C., which shows a sport fencing bout with masks, protective weapon tips, and judges. The Greek and Roman civilizations favored short swords and light spears, and taught their warriors in schools called ludi. The collapse of the Roman civilization at around 476 A.D., however, brought the crude, heavy weapons of the barbarian invaders and signalled a regression of fencing through the dark ages. It was not until the beginnings of the Renassiance in the 14th centurty that light, fast weapons such as the rapier came back into use, primarily because gunpowder rendered heavy armor obsolete. The fifteenth century brought the beginnings of modern fencing. Spain had the first true fencers, and the first two fencing manuals were published there in 1471 and 1474, but swordplay guilds such as the Marxbruder from Germany began springing up all across Europe. About 1500 the Italians began extensive use of the Rapier. The right hand held te weapon while the left hand held a dagger (often called a Main Gauche) or buckler (a small shield), used for parrying blows. Italian fencing masters, such as Agrippa, who invented the four fencing positions (prime, seconde, tierce, and quarte), and masters Grassi and Vigiani, who invented the lunge, became very prolific in this time. The 16th century also brought a large increase in the popularity of dueling. More noblemen at during this period were killed in dueling than in war.

The History of Harvard Fencing Jan. 20, 2005 It should come as a surprise to no one that the nation's oldest college also founded the first organized collegiate fencing club in the United States ... nor that it still fields one of the strongest programs in the country. On December 13, 1888, the Harvard Fencing Club held its first meeting with 35 of the 40 young men present signing up as charter members. The following spring, the Club crowned its first champion when J.M. Morton, Jr. '91 defeated J.T. Lincoln '92 in the finals, held at the old Hemenway Gymnasium. After a few years of internal and local competition, the first Intercollegiate Fencing Tournament was held May 5, 1894, at the New York Racquet and Tennis Club, where Harvard defeated Columbia, 5-4, to win the IFA title. J. E. Hoffman '96 was victorious in the decisive bout to gain the Crimson the championship. Harvard won the second IFA Tournament as well, defeating Columbia by a 6-3 score, and A.G. Thacher '97 became the school's first IFA title holder by winning the individual championship. In 1896, Harvard topped Columbia and Navy to win its third straight crown.

1920 Olympic Games
The 1920 Olympic Games were awarded to Antwerp in recognition of the suffering that had been inflicted on the Belgian people during the First World War. The defeated nations, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey were not allowed to participate.
As a result of the destruction caused by the war, the standard of the accommodation for the competitors was very poor. Most accepted this but 200 members of the American team signed a petition demanding that unless their accommodation was improved they would withdraw from the competition. The Antwerp games saw the introduction of the Olympic Games. Ice Hockey was included for the first and last time. The Tug of War also made its last appearance in the games. The 1920 Olympic Games were the scene of some outstanding individual performances. This included Nedo Nadi of Italy who won gold medals in five of the six fencing events. His brother, Also Nadi, won three gold medals and one silver. Ethelda Bleibtrey of the United States was another interesting competitor. In 1919 she had been charged with swimming nude on a public beach. In fact, she had been caught taking off her stockings on Manhatten Beach. At that time, New York City Council insisted that women wore swimsuits that covered all their skin.

Brief History of the Olympic Games
Ancient Olympic Games Chronology of athletic events added to the Olympic Games Myths and the Olympic Games Pelops myth ... Athens for Olympic Games of 2004
Ancient Olympic Games The Olympic Games begun at Olympia in Greece in 776 BC. The Greek calendar was based on the Olympiad, the four-year period between games. The games were staged in the wooded valley of Olympia in Elis. Here the Greeks erected statues and built temples in a grove dedicated to Zeus, supreme among the gods. The greatest shrine was an ivory and gold statue of Zeus. Created by the sculptor Phidias, it was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Scholars have speculated that the games in 776 BC were not the first games, but rather the first games held after they were organized into festivals held every four years as a result of a peace agreement between the city-states of Elis and Pisa. The Eleans traced the founding of the Olympic games to their King Iphitos, who was told by the Delphi Oracle to plant the olive tree from which the victors' wreaths were made. According to Hippias of Elis, who compiled a list of Olympic victors c.400 BC, at first the only Olympic event was a 200-yard dash, called a stadium. This was the only event until 724 BC, when a two-stadia race was added. Two years later the 24-stadia event began, and in 708 the pentathlon was added and wrestling became part of the games. This pentathlon, a five-event match consisted of running, wrestling, leaping, throwing the discus, and hurling the javelin. In time boxing, a chariot race, and other events were included.

History
The University Fencing Club dates back to the academic year 1967/68 when a newly hired faculty member at Prince of Wales College (Charlottetown, P.E.I.) was encouraged by Athletic Director, Earl Nicholson, to found a club for the student body. Prof. Lothar Zimmermann had learned to love the sport during his student days at McMaster University and the University of Toronto. Arriving in Charlottetown, he wanted to continue to fence. To do that, he had to create opponents for himself by teaching others the sport of fencing. And he is still at it today, 35 years later! Upon the merger of Prince of Wales College and St. Dunstan's University, the PWC Fencing Club became the U.P.E.I. Fencing Club. Over the years, membership has grown and changed. And so have the facilities, the equipment, and the rules of the sport itself. The Club ‹ as the only fencing centre on the Island ‹ became the P.E.I. Fencing Association, and as such, was accepted within the national body, today's Canadian Fencing Federation. More by accident than by design, the Club accepted also members from outside the University community. "The Duellist" Since 1989, PEI fencers have their own annual illustrated news magazine which offers a review of the past season, including results and statistics, archival material, cartoons, information regarding upcoming events, or merely interesting reading material concerning the sport.
