Did You Know? Boats that come in contact with a buoy out on the race course must do a 360, sailing around the buoy in a complete circle, unless the sailors can convince the jury that it wasn't their fault. Mistrals are the only boats allowed to touch buoys without penalty. Formerly known as yachting , the sailing competition was given the new name in 2000 for a few reasons. Mostly because seven of the current classes of boats being used in Olympic competition are actually small dinghies or sailboards and are far from the definition of a yacht. Another reason Olympic officials decided on the switch was to lessen the public perception of the sport as one for the wealthy elite.

Final: 8amArgentina has not won an Olympic title in any sport since 1952, but will be favourites to break the drought in the football. They also have the star of the tournament, the 20-year-old Carlos Tevez, who leads the tournament scorers with seven goals. Tevez, who plays for Boca Juniors, signed his first contract when he was just eight years old. STEVE BACKLEY Javelin. Final: 6.40pmBackley only just qualified for this, his fourth and final Olympic final. Whatever happens here, he will pack up his javelin after the sixth round (or the third if he is not in the top eight at that point) and never raise it again in international competition. The chances of the 35-year-old becoming the only British athlete to win medals at four successive Games are slim, as are the chances of Jan Zelezny, his friend, becoming only the fourth person in Olympic history to win four individual titles in the same event. But you should watch, just in case either happens.

History In ancient times, Sailing was linked with the history and activities of many nations. It often played a crucial role in a country’s growth and expansion due to mastering the seas through navigation. The Greek historian Pausanias relates that in the 2nd century BC, music, swimming and sailing contests were taking place in honor of Dionysus Melanaigidos in Ermioni at the Temple of Aphrodite. The first Sailing competition, which is still held today, was the Cumberland Cup, inaugurated in 1715. The first international competition, in 1851, was the “Hundred Guineas Cup” – now known as the Americas Cup, named after the first winning boat “America”. This marked the debut of competition Sailing as we know it today. Sailing became an Olympic sport in the 1900 Olympic Games, in Paris. There were three classes of boat. Greece first entered the Sailing events at the 1948 Olympic Games in London, where a crew consisting of G.Kalambokidis, C.Karolou, K.Potamianos and N.Vlangalis competed in the Star class and placed 10th. The International Sailing Federation (ISAF) – formerly known as IURY, was founded in 1906. It now includes 121 member-states, with over half a million sailors.

History Handball is considered one of the oldest games in the history of sport. References in Homer's Odyssey provide evidence of a game similar to Handball, which was played on the island of the Faiakes (Corfu). Another sign is a 3rd century BC bronze statuette found in Dodoni, showing a boy carrying a ball in his hand. Depictions of humans playing a 'primitive' form of Handball are also found on a marble plaque found at the Athens Acropolis, dating to about 600 B.C. In Roman years, the game then called "arpaston”, spread to the people of Germany and France. We come across a detailed description of it by the French author, Rabelais, around AD1500. At the end of the 19th century, Handball in its present form appeared in Denmark, Germany and Czechoslovakia, as a training sport for gymnasts and a fitness tool for football players during their off season. The Swedes, to whom the name of the game is attributed, adopted regulations similar to those of football around 1910. At the Berlin Olympiad in 1936, Handball made its debut to the public as an exhibition sport in an open stadium, with two teams of 11 players each. Handball was officially incorporated into Olympic Games competition in Munich in 1972. It was held in an indoor court measuring 20x40m with teams of seven players.

Competitve Sailing Canadian Sailing Team Youth Events ... About the CYA Contact Us Canadian Olympic Sailing Team History In the spring of 1924 a group of yachtsmen from the Yacht Racing Association of Lake Ontario decided to hold a special competition. The purpose of the event was to select a sailor who could represent Canada at the Olympics in Paris that summer. This was the beginning of Canada's Olympic sailing effort. While sailing had been an official part of Olympic competition since 1912, it was not until 1924 that Canada entered a team. Under the auspices of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club of Toronto, a committee conducted trials in the grey, still-frigid waters of Lake Ontario. The trials consisted of four series with ten competitors form five clubs taking part. Eventually, Norman Robertson of Hamilton emerged to win the finals and the right to go to Paris and represent Canada in the single-handed class. Racing on the Seine at Meulan that July, Robertson finished seventh out of 17 nations in each of the two series that formed the basis of competition. It was a respectable first outing, but not surprisingly, he was eliminated from medal contention. Far more important than his standing, though, was the fact that Robertson's effort had finally broken the ice and Canada had officially entered the world of Olympic sailing. While the name of Norman Robertson will always stand in the annals of Canadian yachting as our first Olympic sailor, Canada's first team effort dates to the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. It was in that year that the Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) was formed and, under its aegis and inspiration, Canada sent crews to compete in the Six Metre, Eight Metre, Star and Olympic Monotype classes. Fleets in those pre-war years were considerably smaller than today's and it was only in the Star and Monotype classes that a truly international field competed. H.E. Wylie was Canada's Star skipper and Reg Dixon sailed the single-handed Snowbird dinghy. Wylie's final standing was fourth out of seven boats and Dixon's placed fifth out of 11. For an Association barely off the ground, these results were more than simply creditable.

This period in the season always makes me a little thoughtful about the meaning of things. So next article finds its roots in this mood. It’s meant to make a point and stimulate a process which is having its influence on our sport for a long time, therefore its style. I don’t mean to insult or intimidate anyone.

Of course in a far, far away corner of my skull, there were some old memories from my starting period as a coach in the Dutch 470 class. Those were the days when guys like Hunger, Calafat, Walker and Kouwenhoven were ruling the class. These memories, together with the occasional discussion of the new Olympic classes brings me to the subject of this article. The everlasting dance about the Olympic classes, and it’s consequences that it brings upon our sport. Not that I feel smarter than all the guys in London at ISAF, but just from the fact that one brain cell more (sorry that’s me!!) thinking about a problem will hopefully lead to a better decision. So I’m trying to be involved in the hope of adding a perspective which may lead to a better world. (“or an even bigger mess!! Dreamer!”)
