"Champions and Change Makers" By Stephanie Iovieno Trailblazers. Pioneers. Leaders. Breaking down barriers of race and gender, these 10 black female sports figures redefined the role of women in sports and laid the foundation for future generations. In honor of Black History Month, we celebrate their groundbreaking achievements and honor their contributions. Alice Coachman - Pioneer for black female athletes in all sports Growing up in the segregated South during the 1920s and '30s, Alice Coachman was denied access to public facilities and forced to run barefoot in the streets. With the little opportunity she was given, Coachman took it and ran with it - literally. Overcoming racial segregation, Coachman went on to win 25 AAU track titles and numerous national championships at Tuskegee Institute, mostly in the long jump. However, her greatest achievement came in 1948 in London when she became the first black woman to win an Olympic gold medal. By breaking the race barrier for women, Coachman opened the door for the future black female track stars, including some of the greats, like Wilma Rudolph, Florence Griffith Joyner and Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Dominique Dawes - Three-time Olympic medalist As a young girl, Women's Sports Foundation President Dominique Dawes spent hours at the gym in order to achieve her dream of winning an Olympic medal. Her hard work paid off - big time. In 1988, she became the first African-American on the U.S. national gymnastics team, and in 1992, the first on the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team. In 1996, Dawes reached another milestone, winning an individual bronze medal in the floor exercises - the first black to earn an individual Olympic medal in women's gymnastics. She earned an Olympic gold medal the same year, as the U.S. women's gymnastics team won the team event in Atlanta. In a career of firsts, Dawes inspired a generation and set the stage for today's black gymnasts.

While their timeless contributions transformed their respective sports phenomenally, this ongoing list of extraordinary African American athletes do not begin nor end with these individuals. Across the seas in Athens, Aquil Abdullah is trailblazing toward this noteworthy list of athletes. Abdullah is the first African American male to row for the U.S. Olympic Team, and is currently two races away from winning an Olympic medal in the double sculls event. Abdullah and partner Henry Nuzum finished third in a five-team field to advance to the semifinals. The pressure is on Abdullah since the U.S. has not won a medal in the double sculls event in almost 20 years. Despite being so close to accomplishing this great feat, Abdullah remains a modest pioneer in the sport of rowing. "I'm just a regular Joe who happened to try rowing and got lucky that it matched the talent I actually have," he said. "I understand I have a responsibility if I can help bring the sport to more people, but I never think about myself as anything special."

Harald Jahrling walked out of the team function on Sunday night and shortly afterwards left the country. He has enraged the Australian rowing movement for making a scapegoat of the 23-year-old and inflaming Robbins's teammates after the race and is now unlikely to have his national contract renewed. And the chairman of Rowing Australia, Pat McNamara, has slammed the frenzy surrounding Robbins's performance, saying it reminded him of the treatment Lindy Chamberlain received more than two decades ago. While McNamara refused to discuss Jahrling's future it is understood Jahrling will be overlooked for the position of head coach and that the position should now be filled by men's coach Noel Donaldson, whose team emerged from the Olympic regatta as the No.1 in the world. Jahrling's women are ranked No.5.

ROWING REPORT Back to NEWS Back to ROWING NEWS Sunday, September 24 Great Britons From Nick Pitt in Sydney Britain's men's eight won an extraordinary gold medal - or rather nine, eight for the oarsmen and one for the cox - in the concluding event of the Olympic regatta at Penrith Lakes, west of Sydney. Earlier, on another incredible day, the quadruple sculls crew won Britain's first-ever women's Olympic rowing medal - a silver - in a thrilling photo finish. The eight were cheered on from the stands by Steve Redgrave, the great Olympian, and even he would concede that their achievement and final effort was something rare and special. Matthew Pinsent, who watched the race from lakeside, said: "I am so happy for them and so very proud to have witnessed this. It was an epic performance. British rowing is at the highest point it has ever been. "This is a fantastic result for British rowing. Having a squad of full-time athletes means we can take talented people and turn them into world-beaters. Lottery money has been vital in helping us to achieve this, and it is vital that the flow continues." The British cox, Rowley Douglas, was ecstatic. "We always said that if we got in front that nobody would be able to catch us. There was a lot of courage shown in that boat. It was a wide open final but nobody else has our belief.

Paralympics Baron De Coubertin inspires the first modern Games The first of the modern Olympic Games was staged in Athens, Greece, although financial difficulties almost saw it staged in Budapest, Hungary. Initially it was intended that Paris would host the first Olympics in 1900, but Athens was chosen four years earlier, though Greece ran into financial difficulties before the Games could begin. With Hungary preparing for its millennium celebrations, Budapest repeatedly offered to step in as a replacement but the Crown Prince Constantine of Greece set up an organising committee and the donations began to flood in. Just over 200 men, representing 14 countries competed in a total of 43 events. The majority of the participants were from the host nation with tennis, track and field, fencing, weightlifting, cycling, wrestling, shooting, swimming and gymnastics all contested. Cricket and soccer tournaments were cancelled due to a lack of participating teams while rowing and sailing competitions fell victim to poor weather. Event winners received a silver medal, a certificate and a crown of olive leaves. Runners-up were given bronze medals and a crown of laurel while third placed participants went home empty handed.
