Extractions: Easier - The Olympic Games are a competition in summer and winter sports held every four years for athletes from all over the world. Harder - Olympic Games are the world's most important international athletic competition.

Extractions: CNNSI.com Olympics coverage Results Medal Tracker CNN/Money Olympics report SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (CNN) They were touted as the most secure Games in Olympics history, but they may well be remembered as one of the most contentious. First came the international uproar surrounding the pairs figure skating finals, when judges bypassed the Canadian team in favor of a Russian duo. More controversy ensued as Russia claimed it was being slighted and joined South Korea in threatening to walk out of the Games. The Russian Duma, the lower house of parliament, unanimously passed a resolution Friday instructing Russian athletes to boycott the Closing Ceremonies if its concerns weren't addressed. Russian President Vladimir Putin also expressed his displeasure with the Games but backed away from the threat of a pullout.

All pictures, logos, trademarks and symbols are properties of the Olympic Movement and are used here for identification purposes only. This site is for personal use only. ORIGIN :: By about 650 B.C., the Ancient Games were held over five days, involving running, wrestling, the pentathlon, horse riding and chariot racing. Participants came to compete from every corner of the Greek world aiming at the ultimate prize - an olive wreath and a "heroic" return to their city-states. Athletes competed in the nude and upon victory were awarded a crown of wild olive leaves. Women and slaves were strictly forbidden to attend the Games under the punishment of death. BANNED :: The Ancient Games were held for almost 1200 years until 393 A.D. when Roman Emperor Theodosius I banned all pagan festivals (the Olympics celebrated the Greek god Zeus). He asserted that the Games placed an excessive public focus on athletic and spiritual affairs and abolished them.

Extractions: Project Home Page Women and the Olympic Games The ancient Olympic Games certainly marginalized the female sex. Pausanias relates the story of Callipateira , who dressed up as a trainer in order to see her son compete. He adds that when she inadvertently revealed her true identity in her excitement at seeing her son win, the Greeks were concerned enough by the breach of protocol to insitute a new rule requiring trainers as well as athletes to strip before entering the stadium . However, a female presence remained a strong undercurrent at Olympia . Although married women like Callipateira were forbidden to watch the Games , maidens could attend. And the Olympic rules did provide an exception for one married woman, the priestess of Demeter , who received honored seating by the altar in the stadium. The Heraea Games In fact, Olympia even offered an opportunity for female athletes to compete. The Heraea Games , administered by the Sixteen Women and other married women for maiden competitors, took place every four years. According to
