AP SYDNEY, Australia (CNNSI.com) Russian Dmitry Svatkovsky captured the gold medal in the men's modern pentathlon while the United States came up short in its bid to win its first medal in the event since 1960. For a while it looked like Americans Velizar Iliev and Chad Senior both might medal, but in the end, they were left watching. Svatkovsky crossed the finish line of the 3-kilometer run, raised his arms in triumph and then dropped to his knees, touching his head to the ground in disbelief that he'd won the gold. Gabor Balogh of Hungary won the silver, and Pavel Dovgal of Belarus took the bronze. Senior finished sixth, and Iliev, who emigrated to the United States from Bulgaria in 1991, was ninth.

The Army has established its own training centers for sports such as boxing, wrestling and modern pentathlon providing outstanding Soldier-athletes with the support and training to complete and succeed in national and international competitions, while maintaining a professional military career. All members of the Army (Active, Reserve and National Guard) are offered the same opportunity for selection. All Soldier-athletes are well-trained Soldiers first, having attended Basic and Advanced Individual Training for enlisted members or Officer Basic Course for officers. A General Athlete By the summer and early fall of 1902, George S. Patton, Jr., soon to be 17 years old decided he wished to become a soldier. Given the social prominence of the Patton family, enlistment in the Army was out of the question. The only acceptable career was the honorable profession of Regular Army Officer. The best road to that goal was an education at the Military Academy at West Point, for graduation meant immediate entrance into the Regular Army as a second lieutenant. The only problem was it was difficult to gain admission to West Point. Entrance requirements were rigorously prescribed by law. The student body was extremely small, but there was a way to get there.

Modern Pentathlon The combination of five completely different sports constitutes Modern Pentathlon, the most demanding sport of the Olympic Games. Pentathletes compete in the course of one day, in the following five disciplines: Shooting, Fencing, Swimming, Riding, and Cross-country running. Modern Pentathlon men and women athletes need to have strength, endurance, quick reflexes and concentration, in order to meet the high demands of the sport. Plato understandably made the following statement: Rowing In Olympic rowing 14 different boat classes are raced, eight sculling events in which two oars are used, one in each hand and six sweep-oared events in which the rower uses one oar with both hands. The sculling boat classes are the single, the double and the quadruple sculls with crews of one, two or four athletes respectively, as well as the lightweight double. The sweep row categories include the pair, the four, the lightweight four (for men only) and the eight with coxswain, which is perhaps the most spectacular rowing event of all. For the lightweight events (the lightweight women's double and the lightweight men's double and four) the average weight of a men's crew must not exceed 70 kg for women, the average weight of a crew must not exceed 57 kg. All races cover a distance of 2,000 meters.

Although records cannot verify games earlier than 776BC, the contests in Homer's Iliad indicate a much earlier competitive tradition. The Olympics reached their height in the 5th-4th Centuries BC thereafter they became more and more professionalized until, in the Roman period, they provoked much censure.

There is a total reversal between the ancient olympics and present olympics which you will soon see. The events in the olympics of this day and age have also scuplted the gaming of one of the oldest gaming events of all time. We will go over the olympics as stated in the following: The origin of the Olympic Games is linked with many myths referred to in ancient sources, but in the historic years their founder is said to be Oxylos whose descendant Ifitos later rejuvenated the games. According to tradition, the Olympic Games began in 776 B.C. when Ifitos made a treaty with Lycourgos the king and famous legislator of Sparta and Cleisthenes the king of Pissa. The text of the treaty was written on a disc and kept in the Heraion. In this treaty that was the decisive event for the developement of the sanctuary as a Panhellenic centre, the "sacred truce" was agreed. That is to say the ceasing of fighting in all of the Greek world for as long as the Olympic Games were on. As a reward for the victors, the cotinus, which was a wreath made from a branch of wild olive tree that was growing next to the opisthodomus of the temple of Zeus in the sacred Altis, was established after an order of the Delphic oracle.

History The History of Modern Pentathlon The Modern Pentathlon was introduced at the 1912 Olympics as a test of military skills or, at least, the skills that were traditionally taught at military academies of the time. It was designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the chief founder of the modern Olympic Games. The concept behind the competition is that a military courier sets out on horseback to carry a message. Along the way, he has to fight a duel with epees, use a pistol, swim across a river, and then run through the woods to reach his goal. Only Army Officers were allowed to participate in 1912, when the United States was represented by a 26-year-old second lieutenant, George S. Patton, a skilled rider and fencer. Patton did very well in four of the events and might have won the gold medal except for his poor marksmanship. He finished 21st in the shooting event, which dropped him to fifth overall. Scoring was originally based on a competitor's placing in the various events, with the lowest score winning. It's now based on a scoring table similar to the one used in track and field for the decathlon. Standards are set for each event and a competitor receives 1000pts for equalling the standard. Points are added if the standard is exceeded and subtracted if the performance falls below the standard.

The games are a revival of the Olympic Games held in ancient Greece.They were revived by a French nobleman, Baron de Coubertin, in 1894, with the objective of promoting international peace and understanding through sporting competition. The Summer Olympics are formally called the Games of the Olympiad. The games of the first Olympiad were held in Athens, Greece. The Winter Olympics, established in 1924, feature winter sports held in ice or snow and are also held every four years. Until 1994, the Winter and Summer Olympics were held in the same year, but in 1986 the International Olympic Committee, which organises the Olympics, decided to separate them, so as to spread costs for all involved parties.

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.

Brownielocks and The 3 Bears Present Cartoon Fun and The History of the Olympics (Note: Olympic theme midi plays once) Since the Olympic games go way back to the early Greeks, to do an entire history on one page is a bit overwhelming. So, I'll give you a brief summation of how it all began, and then provide some further links for additional information. So, how and why did it all begin? In ancient Greece, they often combined religious festivals with sporting events, to honor certain gods. The Greeks held the following: The Pythian Games The Nemean Games The Isthmian Games The Olympic Games It was the last one, the Olympics, that were held for the Greek God Zeus and were also the most popular with the people. The first game is said to be held at Olympia, Greece in 776 B.C. and has been held every 4 years since = 1,168 years! Then, Greece came under the rule of the Roman Empire and the Olympic games were declined, to the point where they actually declined in 393 B.C. by the Christian Roman Emperor, Theodosius I, who objected to what he felt were some "pagan rites" associated with the games. In the beginning, the Olympic games were confined to just one day and one event. That event was a footrace that was the length of the stadium. Soon, additional races were added as the popularity grew, as well as discus and javelin throws (tosses), broad jumps, boxing, wrestling, chariot racing and a pentathlon. The pentathlon was composed of 5 different track and field competitions.

By Dana Stevens Posted Saturday, Aug. 28, 2004, at 1:32 PM PT There's something endearingly antiquated about the modern pentathlon , perhaps the only sport to include shooting, fencing, swimming, equestrian jumping, and running. These unrelated exploits are supposed to tell the story of a military officer who, in an attempt to deliver a message during battle, had to face off with the enemy using a pistol and a sword while on horseback. After his horse was shot out from under him, the imaginary messenger had to swim and run to accomplish his mission. The modern pentathlon was considered the crown jewel of the games by modern Olympics founder Baron Pierre de Coubertin, but maybe that's just because he invented it. The ancient pentathlon—wrestling, discus throwing, running, long jump, javelin—was the high point of the classical games, lauded by Aristotle as the ultimate athletic accomplishment. Coubertin updated the event to position the pentathlete as a 19 th -century superhero, an officer and a
