About Biathlon Description and history of Biathlon - how the sport evolved... This page was last updated23 July 2003 - Under construction What is Biathlon: Biathlon is a Winter Olympic Sport which combines cross country skiing with precision target shooting. There is also a warm weather variant called Summer Biathlon which replaces skiing with running. In a typical Winter race, a Biathlete is required to ski with his or her rifle over a set distance to a shooting range, where five shots at five knockdown targets 50 m down range are taken from prone position. Depending on the format, either a time penalty or penalty laps are assessed for missed shots. The racer then skiis another loop, and comes back to the shooting range for another set of shots - this time from a standing stance. Again penalties are assessed for missed shots. The biathlete then skiis a final loop to complete the race. A more complete description of the various race formats may be found here Though a seemingly unlikely combination of events - one is an aerobic activity which requires strength, speed, and endurance; the other is a passive activity which requires concentration and a steady hand (difficult after you've been skiing all out!), the biathlon concept evolved from two activities which have a long history - hunting and winter warfare. 1994 Olympic Postcard Hunting Origins Rock paintings depicting hunters with bow and arrow moving on sliding timber have been found near Roedoey, Norway which date back to the Neolithic age (about 3000 BC). However, the first written descriptions of hunting on skiis come from Roman, Greek, and Chinese historical writings. These include such well known authors as the Roman poet Virgil, who described hunting on skiis in 400 BC.

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.

Then, the most notable achievement was by Yoav Ra'anan, who took ninth place in springboard diving. Over the next four decades, participating was the main objective. The darkest hour of the Olympics was in 1972, when eleven members of the Israeli delegation were murdered by Palestinian terrorists in Munich. The Games resumed after a 24-hour hiatus, but the surviving members of the Israeli delegation accompanied their fellow sportsmen on their final journey home. Despite the tragedy in Munich, Israel remained loyal to the Olympic ideal, and returned to the 1976 Games in Montreal, where Esther Roth-Shachamarov, whose coach Amitsur Shapira had been slain in Munich, clinched an historic sixth place in the 100 meters hurdles the best Israeli Olympic track result to date. As more years passed, the belief that an Israeli athlete could win an Olympic medal became credible. In Seoul in 1988, Israel's Flying Dutchmen crew, Yoel Sela and Eldad Amir, achieved a laudable fourth place finish, despite forfeiting a race held on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

106. 1900 PARIS OLYMPIC GAMES Rowley holds an unique place in olympic history. He won the live gameshooting (the Prix Centenaire de Paris), with 22 successive kills (of pigeons), http://abc.net.au/olympics_1996/game1900.htm

By Malcolm Andrews The 1900 Paris Olympics held in conjunction with the Paris Expo, which took place over five months from May to October, were a strange conglomeration of sporting events. Even today there is still some confusion over whether some of the competitions were official or not. For instance, the program for the athletics was headed Republique Francaise Exposition Universelle de 1900, Championnats Internationaux and competitors believed they were taking part in a glorified international event. Some winners died years later without realising they were Olympic champions. Australia had three representatives - swimmer Fred Lane, athlete Stan Rowley and an obscure shooter Donald Mackintosh. Lane won two swimming events, both held in the murky waters of the River Seine, and would most certainly have won a third had the organisers not decided, at the last moment, to scrap his favourite race - the 100yd . For some unexplained reason, the races at the Paris Olympics were swum over yards and not metres. In the 220yd freestyle, Lane and Hungarian Zoltan Halmay were neck and neck for most of the race before Lane drew clear in the last 50 yards to win by more than 6 seconds. His time of 2 min 25.2 sec was well inside his own world best effort of 2 min 38.2 sec, but this was because he swam with the river current. Lane's second success came later on the same day in the obstacle race, a quaint event that involved swimmers getting over or under three sets of obstacles. Needless to say, it was the only time this ridiculous event was ever held. Lane won easily in a time of 2 min 38.4 sec. For his efforts, Lane did not receive gold medals, but 25 kilogram bronze sculptures (one of a horse and the other of a peasant girl, replicas of exhibits in the Louvre museum).

The Paralympic Games, in terms of complexity, duration and the number of competitors, are second only to the Olympic Games. The fundamental philosophy guiding the Paralympic movement is that athletes with disabilities should have opportunities to pursue their goals in sport equivalent to those of non-disabled athletes. Athletes who compete in the Paralympics set their sights on the dream of winning a gold medal, are committed to strenuous training regimes and meet strict qualifying standards to be selected to their national team. The Paralympic Games represent a commitment to excellence that allows elite athletes to achieve their personal best. The Paralympic Games exemplify the Olympic ideal of participation and sportsmanship.

This is an archive copy of a document originally located at http://www.activeaustralia.org/women/olym_hist.htm Women in the Olympics - a brief history The 20th May 2000 marks the 100th anniversary of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games. It also marks the centenary of women’s participation in the modern Olympics. Three events were available for women at the 1900 Olympic Games: golf, tennis and yachting. When the modern Olympic Games began in 1896 women had no part in the competition. In fact, the founder of the modern Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin had said on several occasions that the Olympics were no place for women. He felt that rather than seek records for herself, a woman’s greatest achievement was to encourage her sons to excel. Women had to work to gain a presence in the Olympic arena and force open the door to one sport after another. Swimming for women was included in the Games in 1912 and a limited program of track and field was added in 1928. Women’s races longer than 200m were banned until 1960 when the 800m was reintroduced. The women’s marathon was not added until 1984. In 1992 the 10,000m walk was introduced and recently, waterpolo — which had been the domain of men since the Olympics first began — was added to the 2000 Olympic Games program for women. Women have played an enormous role in painting the Olympic picture. Since Charlotte Cooper of Great Britain won gold in singles tennis at the 1900 Paris Olympics, many women have put their stamp on Olympic history.

THE RENAISSANCE OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES The rebirth of the Games The first Session of the IOC was held in Paris on 23-24 June 1894. It was during the first Session that the city of Athens was selected for the Games of the I Olympiad. The inauguration of the first Games of the modern era, opened by King George I at the foot of the Acropolis on April 5, 1896, was a huge relief for baron Pierre de Coubertin. Greece's instability and economic stature, due to numerous conflicts, proved almost insurmountable obstacles. However, a wealthy Greek architect from Alexandria, George Averoff, donated a gift of one million drachma and in a matter of 18 months a superb white marble stadium, able to hold 60,000 people, was constructed. Many of the events, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, were held in a reconstructed Panathinaiko Stadium, which was originally built in 330 B.C. Baron de Coubertin's dream of reinventing the Games was one he had coveted since 1892 - two years later the official announcement was made and Athens chosen as the site. Baron Pierre de Coubertin invited countries from all over the world to attend the first of the new Olympics in Athens.

There have been plenty of medals in the past silvers in weightlifting and taekwondo in Sydney and a silver in table tennis in Atlanta, to list a few but gold has remained out of reach throughout Taiwan's Olympic history and this year, it's hoped, will be the year to rectify the situation. "There's no reason a Taiwanese athlete can't get a gold medal. We have great athletes, but it really boils down to their performance on the day of competition," said Steven Chen (³¯¤h»í), deputy secretary general of the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee.
