Summer Olympics Aquatics 1896 Aquatics had included a lot of weird events like underwater swimming (1900), 200m obstacle swimming (1900) and a plunge for distance (1904). there were a 100m pool was used, the ocean (1896, the River Seine (1900), and a small lake in St. Louis, USA (1904), had been used in Olympic sites. Decisions or goals were clear: the rules for swimming, diving, and water polo were to be standard; to keep the world records listed. Archery 1900 Yes, archers today honor the fabled outlaw Robin Hood. The word "Robin Hood" now means splitting the shaft of an arrow alreadin in the target with another arrow. A Standard bow is coated in fibreglass, the arrows are made out of aluminium and carbon graphite and can go more than 240 km/h. Archers today compete in trying to get their arrow closest to the center of the target. Athletics 1896 Athletics have an Olympic motto, "Citius, Altius, Forius", which means faster, higher, stronger. Athletics (or track and field) is about jumping higher, throwing farther, and running faster than the other players. The ancient Olympics started with foot races. Today, athetics stays one of the most popular Olympic sports. From the 100m dash to the 42.195km marathon, from the hammer throw to the high jump. Badminton 1992 Badminton is like tennis because players stand across a net from each other and hit something across the net with rackets. In badminton the net is lowered, and they use a shuttlecock instead of a tennis ball, and it is never to hit the ground, or the other team gets a point.

Hulk Hogan's Heroes Why pro wrestlers should be in the Olympics. By Dave McKenna Posted Friday, Aug. 27, 2004, at 3:29 PM PT Hulk never got to go for the gold The Olympics sure have grown up since Jim Thorpe forfeited a medal for having played bush league baseball for pay. By now, the amateur fa§ade has, as Ric "Nature Boy" Flair would say, been dropped like third-period French. The United States has generally taken advantage of the move toward an all-pro Olympics. When the just-for-the-love-of-the-sport boys stopped bringing home gold in, for example, hockey and basketball, America called in the professionals. It's about time we did the same in wrestling. Why not? Nobody save the Iron Sheik would deny that we have the best wrestlers in the world. Yet in Athens, for still another Olympiad, America's professionals were kept off the mat while our amateurs foundered. Domestic wrestling fans pinned their medal hopes on Rulon Gardner, the beloved hayseed champ of Greco-Roman grappling. Gardner decisioned Iran's Sajad Barzi to win a bronze. A bronze medal? Only an amateur would be satisfied with that finish—there's no third-place belt in pro wrestling.

September 27, 2005 Women's Wrestling Reaches Olympics Run Date: 05/21/04 By Dakota Smith WeNews correspondent With the introduction of women's wrestling in the Olympicsthe only new sport to be added to this summer's gamesthere is hope among women and wrestling coaches that the sport will receive more attention at both the high school and college level. (WOMENSENEWS)Beginning today, about 60 young female wrestlers from across the country will compete in the Olympic trials in Indianapolis. For wrestlers vying for one of the four slots on the U.S. Olympic women's wrestling team, the chance to compete in Athens this August has been a long time coming. "I expected it to be in the 2000 games," says Tina George, a 25-year-old wrestler from Cleveland. "I was surprised that it wasn't, but I knew it would happen one day." At 5 feet, 121 pounds, George has competed in six women's World Championships, winning two silver medals. A Specialist in the U.S. Army and a member of the Army's World Class Athlete Program, she is currently training for the Olympic trials in Los Angeles. "I think that I like the sport because I'm kind of power hungry," she says with a laugh. "The nature of wrestling is forcing your will upon someone else. As young girls we're not taught to be aggressive. I like that fact that we can be physical and aggressive and still be women."
