Joe Lavin August 10, 2004 The Couch Potato Games The Olympics haven't started yet, and already I am sick of them. When the Games do start on Friday, they will be almost impossible to avoid. Over all its networks, NBC is planning an astonishing 1,210 hours of coverage. Spread over seventeen days, that's an average of over 70 hours a day. It all makes one yearn for the halcyon days of the recent past when 180 hours of coverage seemed more than enough. The Games will be shown on seven different networks, plus on any other channels that NBC happens to buy between now and Friday. In addition to NBC, the list includes MSNBC, CNBC, USA, Bravo, and Telemundo. It seems an especially strange mishmash of stations. Will the "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" stars provide commentary for Bravo? How will CNBC, a network that is all about money, cover what is supposed to be a celebration of amateur athletics? And will anyone even notice MSNBC's coverage? The seventh station will be a special high definition channel, which I can't wait to see. Once you watch badminton in high definition, you won't be able to watch it any other way. The good news is that of those 1,210 hours, at least 15 will be live. Actually, I'm lying. NBC plans plenty of live coverage, but it will mostly be on their cable channels. The more obscure the sport, the better the chance you will see it live. Most popular sports will be held back and shown on tape delay in prime time, so that we can all know the results ahead of time and not get too stressed over the outcomes.

It's just that my best event is surfing, which is not an Olympic sport. I'm talking about channel surfing, but it would be the same with the other kind. Some sports are Olympic and some aren't. For example: Boxing is. Kickboxing isn't. Water polo is. Polo isn't. Rhythmic gymnastics, yes. Aerobic dancing, nyet. Discus throw is a go. Cow chip hurling, no. What makes some sports Olympic? It all goes back to tradition. The ancient roots Ask Encarta and you'll learn that the Olympic Games are a revival of an ancient Greek festival that started in 776 BC. Those games differed a bit from ours. There were fewer events, many of which mimicked what you'd do in battle if you were an ancient Greek. For example: In a battle you might...

But my point is that the Olympics long ago abandoned a traditional interpretation of 'sport' in order to be more inclusive or whatever. MissLollie 08-20-2004, 02:38 PM Olympic Sports Within the 28 sports included in the Olympic Games, there are 37 disciplines, some of which, for instance the Track events in Athletics, are intrinsically connected to the Olympic history, while others have been added to the programme of the Olympic Games recently. One of these is the Women’s Sabre discipline, included for the first time in Olympic Fencing in the Olympic Games in Athens. They are trying to bring the world together so although some sports may be a bit "diverse" at least 20 countries around the world have "play" that sport before it will be considered for entry.

FEATURE A good sport With medal fever gripping the globe and Sports Day (Oct 9) right around the corner, Melanie C. Redmond and Matt Wilce track down some Olympic sports you can try in Tokyo. Citius, altius, fortius: Faster, higher, stronger Traditionally each time the Olympics come around they are lauded as "the biggest and best yet." While opinions may vary about it being the best, there' no doubt about its growth as every four years more events are added to the Olympic family. Some, like tennis, are old friends making a return to the fold, while others are first-timers like trampolining. Each year, more sports vie for Olympic recognition golf, rugby, snooker and even ballroom dancing but as sports addicts will testify, there is plenty to keep armchair Olympians busy right now. But if vegetating in front of the telly is taking its toll, read on. TC 's got the goods on some of the more off-beat Olympic sports and tracked down some spots in Tokyo where potential Gold Medalists can give them a try. Sydney Olympics Trampoline Making its debut at the Sydney Games, trampoline gymnastics traces its history back a couple of hundred years to the icy expanses of Alaska. Originally pioneered by Comanche Indians, the trampoline has evolved from stretched walrus skins of the mid 19th century to the modern springy version first used in the circus. Russia is likely to top the medal table, although rival Great Britain hopes to consolidate its four previous World Championship wins. France and Belarus also stand a good chance of returning home with medals.

That's Bunko By John Branch / The Fresno Bee (Updated Wednesday, June 8, 2005, 5:40 AM) It wasn't long ago that ballroom dancing and bridge were considered potential Olympic sports. And you had to wonder if cheerleading, hot-dog eating, four-square, Red Rover, channel surfing, Bunko and video poker were on their way, too. Fortunately and finally, the Olympic movement is showing restraint. But, for now, synchronized events or ones that include waving colorful ribbons around are safe. Some key Olympic decisions are about to be made, not counting the July 6 vote on which city will host the 2012 Summer Games. (Psst. It'll be Paris.) The vote carrying more suspense comes two days later. Using secret ballots, the 117-member International Olympic Committee will determine the Olympic fate of all 28 sports, one at a time. Majority rules. The sport stays. Or it goes.
