After all, you've seen plenty of Schwarzenneger movies. See the target, point the gun, pull the trigger. Pretty easy to understand, huh? But while there were only three shooting events in the first Games in , the Athens Olympics will feature seventeen, ten for men and seven for women. The seventeen events are broken up into four separate groups: shotgun, rifle, pistol, and running-target. Did You Know? The Olympic shooting competition is quite a bit more humane than it was back in 1900 in Paris. Back then, for just one year, competitors fired at live pigeons. Suffice it to say that in Athens, no living creature will be harmed during the shooting competition.

Maps of World 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.

History of the European Shooting Confederation The organization of the European Shooting Championships was decided at the Congress of The International Shooting Union held in Helsinki in 1952. It was the merit of Romania to organize them for the first time three years later, in 1955. According to the Secretary General of the International Shooting Union at that time, Karl-August Larson, Sweden, the intention of establishing the championships was to organize them in such a way that the number of participants was similar to those of the shooters who took part in the World Championships before the Second World War. The 1 st European Championships at the Tunari shooting range in Bucharest were contested under UIT control and very successfully organized by the National Shooting Federation under the patronage of the President of the Romanian Republic. It is said that the competitions were at the level of the great traditional championships initiated in 1897. Moreover they brought new important things in the field of shooting sport as official competitions for women and juniors. The importance of these championships also lays in the fact that they contributed to the development of the shooting sport in the World, continuing the tradition of the Olympic events set forth in Athens in 1896. The result lists from Bucharest show that USSR won 12 of 13 team medals and 13 individual medals.

Yet the first Olympic Games for which we still have written records were held in 776 BCE (though it is generally believed that the Games had been going on for many years already). At this Olympic Games, a naked runner, Coroebus (a cook from Elis), won the sole event at the Olympics, the stade - a run of approximately 192 meters (210 yards). This made Coroebus the very first Olympic champion in history. The ancient Olympic Games grew and continued to be played every four years for nearly 1200 years. In 393 CE, the Roman emperor Theodosius I, a Christian, abolished the Games because of their pagan influences. Approximately 1500 years later, a young Frenchmen named

History D Other Competitions Biathlon , an outgrowth of military training, combines cross-country ski racing with target shooting. Olympic and world championship events are held over a distance of 20 km (12.4 mi). Competitors alternate skiing a 4-km (2.5-mi) loop with rounds of target shooting. A competitor’s score is based on a penalty system, in which extra time is added to the cross-country result depending on shooting accuracy. Biathlon is the only skiing-related discipline that is not regulated by the FIS; it has its own international governing body. Snowboarding , developed primarily from surfing and skateboarding, was the fastest-growing winter sport of the 1980s and 1990s. Competitive snowboarding has both an Alpine component, with racing through gates, and a freestyle component that is similar to competitions in skateboard parks. The FIS began holding snowboarding World Cup competitions in the 1994-95 season, and snowboarding made its Olympic debut at the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan.

LINKS HISTORY OF THE ARMY OLYMPIANS Results of Army Olympians: History of the Army Olympians Since 1948, 415 Army Soldier-athletes have been selected to either an American summer or winter team, earning 102 Olympic medals overall. 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.

THE HISTORY OF SKEET SHOOTING An American Game For close to 20,000 members of the National Skeet Shooting Association, shattering clay targets is a way of life...exercise of the body, mind and the soul. Through winter and summer they shoot at millions of targets - breaking most of them - meet new people and travel across the U.S. It all started on the ground of the Glen Rock Kennels in the town of Andover, Massachusetts in 1920. It was there and then that a small group of upland game hunters, including the late C. E. Davies, proprietor of the Glen Rock Kennels, his son Henry W., and the late William H. Foster, all of Andover, were shooting at clay targets as a means of obtaining wing-shooting practice with their favorite upland guns. Their shooting gradually developed into a regular program that gave each shooter the same series of shots so that the competition, which was inevitable, might be even. Originally, the arrangement was a complete circle of twenty-five yards radius with the circumference marked off like the face of a clock. The trap was set at "12 o'clock" and was set to throw the targets over "6 o'clock". The competitive program consisted of shooting two shots from each of the twelve stations. The shell that was left over from a box was used, first as a stunt, to shoot at an incomer from the center of the circle. This later proved to be a shot offering real snap-shooting practice and has since developed into the plan of Station Eight shots of the regulation program.

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.
