Columnists DisplayAd('B1'); Power and glory of the Games Print article email story Paris - The Olympic Games, an international festival of sport which originated in ancient Greece, were revived in the 19th century by a French aristocrat worried by young Frenchmen not getting enough physical education at school. The ancient Olympics were mainly about the ruling classes preparing for war and barred women. Successive presidents of the International Olympic Committee, which Baron Pierre de Coubertin set up in 1894, were just as eager to keep the working classes and women in their place. He took as his model the British and American upper class educational system of enlightened paternalism. The Greeks had twice tried to revive the Games, in 1859 and 1870, so the first Olympic Games, since the Roman emperor Theodosius had banned them in AD 393, were held in Athens. 1896 Athens The nine sports on the Olympic programme were athletics, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, lawn tennis, shooting, swimming, weightlifting and wrestling. A Greek architect Georgios Averoff picked up most of the bill and many of the competitors were simply tourists visiting Athens at the time.

Rowing History Rules Athletes Calendar ... Image Gallery Archive Rowing is a highly developed and popular sport in many countries. It combines a graceful spectacle with sharp competition. The field of play takes place in a natural scenic environment, such as a lake, river or a canal, which adds to the allure of rowing.  Watching the sport once, either in person or on television, turns almost anyone into an avid fan of the sport. The long and narrow boats, the colourful oars, the synchronised crews - ranging from one to eight athletes - are all ingredients for a very successful mix. This combination creates an exciting sport to watch and cheer on for spectators.   Description 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 metres.

The first Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Regatta took place between Washington and California in Seattle.

LYNETTE SKELTON - VETRAN ROWER WITH A MISSION Seaforth (NSW) resident, Lynette Skelton, is one person the sport of rowing should be encouraging and cultivating. At sixty-one years of age, she is still passionate about her chosen sport and at the recent World Masters Games in Melbourne; she came away with three gold medals and two silver medals. Her golds came in the women's doubles "F" grade (60-64 years); the "G" grade eights and the "G" grade quads. The latter two races were rowed as mixed events. Her silver medals were attained in the "F" grade single sculls event and a mixed eights event, once again, "F" grade. Skelton has been rowing for the Mosman club for over thirty years now. She joined the club shortly after coming over from New Zealand in 1971. Back in her old country, Lynette was somewhat of a trailblazer. She pestered Rowing officials to crack the glass ceiling and get one crew into a regatta. "When I entered the sport, we had quads, but I felt we needed to match the men and wanted a single scull event", she said recently. "But the feeling over there was that an event such as the single sculls was too demanding and most un-lady-like".

Borgman teamed with Lisa Schlenker in the two-oared shell.

Modern Olympic History 19th-Century Revival Olympics by Year Famous Olympians Related Links Swimmer Aaron Piersol (US) with His Gold Medal The modern Olympic Games belong to our era. The way they are organized, their ceremonies and symbolism reflect modern reality, not ancient tradition. The Games are not only about the athletes. The Games are not just a question of records and numbers. Hidden behind the statistics, the medals, the records are important ideas, experiences, questions about participation and exclusion, rivalry and competition, victory and defeat, commitment and exertion, the athletic ideal and commercialization. The Games concern everyone participating in them, in whatever way. They have to do with individuals and social groups, cities and countries. They speak of symbols, heroes and myths. The 19th-Century Olympic Movement Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the man who inspired the revival of the Olympic Games Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman, is justly given credit for establishing the modern Olympics, but it was England that revived the idea, and it was in England that Coubertin was introduced to it. As early as 1612, Robert Dover established an English version of the Olympic Games in the Cotswold Hills in Gloucestershire. Events included card games, chess, and dancing, as well as running, jumping, the hammer throw, pitching the bar, wrestling, and horse racing.

Some are obvious - like Cathy Freeman's golden run in Sydney and Muhammad Ali's lighting of the cauldron in Atlanta. Others are a matter of personal preference. Athens was no different. In almost every sport there were memories to cherish. From the feats of Ian Thorpe Michael Phelps and Jodie Henry in the pool to unforgettable victories by Kelly Holmes and Hicham El Guerrouj on the track, every winner had a story to tell. And so did most of the losers. Losers like Jana Pittman , Wilson Kipketer and Alex Popov, who weren't losers at all, but were winners without gold medals. For the Greeks, these Games were a triumph. Not because they were the best ever, but because in the main, they went without a hitch. Because, despite the doubters, they opened on schedule, and because - perhaps against all odds in today's world - for a little more than two weeks they recaptured the spirit of the ancient Olympics. The centrepiece of these Games was the thoroughly modern stadium with its Santiago Calatrava-designed roof.

Recorded history of the Games dates back to 776 B.C., when the five days of sporting events were primarily religious ceremonies. For the first known 13 Games, the competition consisted of single foot race of 200 yards, which was the approximate length of the Olympic stadium. The Games expanded to include additional contests and reached their height by fifth century BC. Men competed, in the nude, in running, wrestling, pentathlon, horse riding and chariot races. Why in the nude  well, to keep the ladies out of the action. Women were barred from watching or competing, and were even put to death if they were caught at the early Games. Today, not only are women allowed to watch and compete, they are encouraged to do so. Check out a few of our historical Olympic pages here at usolympicteam.com.
