10. The History Of Water Skiing A Short history of water skiing water skiing is invented by Ralph Samuelson, 18, 1967 water skiing is recognized by the International olympic Committee http://www.dwsc.org/waterskihist.htm

The History of Water skiing Origin and Growth Water skiing has been around far longer than many people would think The first known record of anyone water skiing was a certain Ralph Samuelson of Lake City, Minnesota, USA who in 1922 eventually got up on his nine ft jump water skis. Having finally mastered the skis, he went on to build a ramp and became the first known water ski jumper Always looking for new things to achieve with his water skis, he later skied behind a flying boat. By a slow process of trial and error in the period before World War II, skills, techniques and competitive rules were gradually evolved. In the years immediately after the war these were systematized, sanctioned and codified following the formation of the World Water Ski Union in 1946. Although the sport had long since progressed to free skiing (rope held in the hands) from single aquaplaning, equipment was still heavy and clumsy and boats in these early days were not designed specifically to cater for skiers requirements It is only comparatively recently, therefore, from the fifties onwards, that the introduction of well designed new equipment and powerful, less expensive boats, has helped water skiing become so enormously popular the world over To some extent boosted, no doubt, by the gradually increasing amount of leisure time available. It follows naturally that the sport should have a fascination for families as a whole, for here is the ideal leisure-time activity in which all can participate - as energetically or casually as they feel inclined

Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Olympic Sports, Table of Contents Summer Olympic Sports and Disciplines Winter Olympic Sports and Disciplines Criteria for Inclusion Discontinued Sports ... Other Resources The question of how many sports are included in the Olympics is a bit tricky, because the International Olympic Committee doesn't define a sport in quite the same way that most people do. The IOC recognizes a hierarchy of sports, disciplines, and events. To the IOC, a sport is represented by a single international governing body. To look at a concrete example, most people would say that swimming, diving, synchronised swimming, and water polo are four separate sports. However, the international governing body for all three is the Federation Internationale de Natation. In Olympic terms, therefore, the sport is aquatics. Swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo are aquatics disciplines. An event, in Olympic terms, is any competition for which medals are awarded. So men's platform diving is an event, diving is the discipline, and aquatics is the sport. It should be noted that, for many sports, the sport is also the discipline. That's true, for example, of badminton, baseball, and basketball. It's not true of archery, though; the sport is archery and the discipline is target archery. Target archery happens to be the only archery discipline included in the Olympics, but the International Archery Federation also governs competition in field archery and ski archery, which are considered separate disciplines.
