Planning for the TORINO 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin, Italy, is well underway, with the transfer of a core team who worked on the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The Master Plan is closely coordinated with the Torino Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (TOROC). As in ATHENS 2004, Atos Origin is taking a knowledge management approach that allows best practices gained in Salt Lake City 2002 to be transferred to a mostly new team in Torino. Experience from past Olympic Games is leveraged for each new event, increasing efficiencies from knowledge passed on and lessons learned.

Highlights of Individual Olympic Games
ATHENS 1896
The people of Athens greeted the Games with great enthusiasm. There is no event that the Greek hosts wanted to win more than the marathon race, because of its historical significance. Spiridon Louis, a Greek shepherd set off from the city of Marathon (marathon was run from Marathon to Athens over the course covered by Greek hero Pheidippides in 490 B.C. after the battle with the Persians) and took the lead four kilometres from the finish line and, to the great joy of the 100,000 spectators, won the race by more than seven minutes.
James Connolly (USA-athletics) won the triple jump on 6 April 1896, and thus became the first Olympic champion since the Ancient Games. He also finished second in the high jump and third in the long jump. He left Harvard University to travel to Athens on a cargo ship and then by train to compete.
Alfréd Hajos (HUN-swimming) won the 100m and the 1,200m events. For the longer race, the swimmers were transported by boat and left to swim back to shore alone. According to Hajos, "I must say that I shivered at the thought of what would happen if I got a cramp from the cold water. My will to live completely overcame my desire to win".
PARIS 1900
The Games of 1900 were held in Paris as part of the Exposition Universelle Internationale - the Paris World's Fair. The exposition organizers spread the events over five months and de-emphasized their Olympic status to such an extent that many athletes died without ever knowing that they had participated in the Olympics.

    Prelude
    When the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was established in 1894, one of the sports proposed for the programme was ice skating . However, no skating was conducted at the Olympics until the 1908 Summer Olympics in London , which featured four figure skating events. Ulrich Salchow (10-fold World champion) and Madge Syers (the first competitive woman figure skater) won the individual titles with ease.
