Mohamed El-Sayed reviews the big ones Click to view caption Anwar, Shams, Fayyad, Gaber, El-Touni , Noseir, Mustafa Egyptians still cannot quite believe what they saw last month one of their own taking the podium to receive a gold medal in an Olympics. But there he was all 96 kilos of him the shaven head and baby face of Karam Gaber on TV, the gold medal won in Graeco-Roman wrestling. It was indeed a rare sight for it was the first time in over 50 years that the Egyptian anthem had been played at an Olympic Games since Mahmoud Fayyad's gold medal in weightlifting in 1948 in London. Gaber's gold upped the country's overall gold medals in Olympic history to seven: El-Sayed Noseir and Ibrahim Mustafa (Amsterdam 1928); Khidr El-Touni, Anwar Misbah (Berlin 1936); Ibrahim Shams, Mahmoud Fayyad (London 1948); and Karam Gaber (Athens 2004). Shams and Gaber won gold in Graeco-Roman wrestling while the rest were weightlifters. Gaber's gold invoked the memory of Egypt's long forgotten gold medallists in the 108-year history of the modern Games. Egypt's first gold medal was that of the weightlifter Noseir in Amsterdam after lifting a total of 335.5kg in the light heavyweight category.

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.

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.

Next Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee By TERENCE HILTON-CLARKE Part 1 Monday , June 22, 1998 FIFTY YEARS HAVE PASSED since Trinidad and Tobago began its Olympic journey. A half century since a team of three athletes travelled to the 1948 games in London with the aim of attaining glory for a small British colony. With the exception of 1960, the last five decades have seen this nation represented in 12 Olympiads with a total of 90 athletes in eight different disciplines: badminton, boxing, cycling, shooting, swimming, track and field, weightlifting and yachting. It wasn't until the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo that Trinidad and Tobago returned to the fold as an independent nation with a team of ten competitors. It was on the athletic track that the greatest prosperity was attained. Edwin Roberts, an outstanding collegian with the University of North Carolina, made it to the final of the 200m where he earned a bronze medal. The 1972 Olympic Games in Munich saw two important records being established. Trinidad and Tobago fielded its largest ever contingent of 20 athletes, among whom a female sprinter, Laura Pierre was included for the first time. Once again, the top performances came on the athletic track.

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.

Two decades later she made her second appearance in the Olympics, toiling in the center of the mat, deftly maneuvering her 5-foot-1, 105-pound frame.
