Submit A Special Request Olympic Sports History ARCHERY A rchers began forming tournaments when the bow was replaced as the main weapon of war in the 17 th century, and target archery evolved as a competitive sport. One of the oldest known and continuously running tournaments still held today is the Ancient Scorton Silver Arrow contest held in Yorkshire, England. The National Archery Association (NAA) was founded and held its first tournament in Chicago in 1879. Archery didn't become and official event in the modern Olympics until 1900 in Paris, France. Women began competing in the Olympic archery events in 1908 in London. However, international rules had not been developed and each host country used its own format causing confusion. Because of the lack of uniform international rules, archery was eliminated from the Olympic program after 1920 and did not reappear until the 1972 Games in Munich, Germany. In 1930, Poland hosted the first real international archery contest and organized the Federation International de Ter a l'Arc (FITA) or International Archery Federation in 1931. FITA is currently the governing body for international archery competition and implements standardized rules for competition. The 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany were the proving ground where FITA rules were recognized and established. The competitors shot 36 arrows for a single competition and 72 arrows for a double competition. Men shot from 90, 70, 50 and 30 meters while women shot from 70, 60, 50 and 30 meters. In the1988 Games in Seoul, Korea, team competition was added. There are four archery events held at the Olympics: Men's Individual, Women's Individual, Men's Team and Women's Team.

Extractions: Ancient Times The Greeks invented Olympic athletic contests and held them in honor of their gods. But sports and competitions are part of the history and culture of many ancient civilization - including those of Meso- America. In Egypt there had been many findings and glyphs depicting sports events have been found. In ancient Egypt, acrobats, who displayed physical agility and strength, were mainly viewed as performers. Most Egyptian acrobats were women, and they performed alone or in groups. Young Egyptian boys also participated in acrobatics, and played games with hoops. There are 200 wrestling groups depicted on one wall of the tomb at Beni-Hassan. The wrestlers wear a loin-cloth similar to the cod-piece or loin-cloth of Minoan athletes. Although the scenes portray the various positions and "holds" involved in wrestling, the sport was practiced as part of Egyptian military training, and there is no evidence of organized competition. Ancient Egyptians also participated in various running activities. One of the kingdom's most important festivals was the "jubilee celebration," a festival first celebrated on the 30th anniversary of the reign of Amenophis III, and celebrated continuously in three-year intervals. In the "ritual run", an integral part of the celebration, the current king would run between two sets of three semicircles, the semicircles being cosmic references to the order of the universe. Unlike later Greek footraces, however, the Egyptian king ran alone, without a competitor. Physical evidence of the "ritual run" exists at the pyramid complex of King Djoser, where one can find the ruins of the world's first sports facility, complete with the running track for the "ritual run."

Arrowhead evolved to include the following: Half-moot tips-used to cut through the rigging of opposing ships. In 1208 AD, Temujin became Great Khan of the Mongols, better known as Genghis Khan. The Mongols used composite bows of approx. 70lb. Draw weight and used a thumb ring to release the bowstring. Unarmored Mongol soldiers would were silk under-shirts to minimize injuries inflicted by the arrows of the enemies. The silk fabric would wrap around the arrow head without being cut as the arrow stuck the Mongol soldiers. This would allow the clean removal of the arrows by slowly pulling on the silk fabric, eliminating further damage caused by the barbed arrowheads.

Extractions: The History of the Olympics Since the Olympic games go way back to the early Greeks, to do an entire history on one page is a bit overwhelming. So, I'll give you a brief summation of how it all began, and then provide some further links for additional information. So, how and why did it all begin? In ancient Greece, they often combined religious festivals with sporting events, to honor certain gods. The Greeks held the following: The Pythian Games The Olympic Games It was the last one, the Olympics, that were held for the Greek God Zeus and were also the most popular with the people. The first game is said to be held at Olympia, Greece in 776 B.C. and has been held every 4 years since = 1,168 years! Then, Greece came under the rule of the Roman Empire and the Olympic games were declined, to the point where they actually declined in 393 B.C. by the Christian Roman Emperor, Theodosius I, who objected to what he felt were some "pagan rites" associated with the games. In the beginning, the Olympic games were confined to just one day and one event. That event was a footrace that was the length of the stadium. Soon, additional races were added as the popularity grew, as well as discus and javelin throws (tosses), broad jumps, boxing, wrestling, chariot racing and a pentathlon. The pentathlon was composed of 5 different track and field competitions.

Extractions: A rchery is one of the oldest arts of ancient times still being practiced today. From its first development until the 1500s, the bow was man's constant companion and has been the most widely used of all weapons in recorded history. The bow allowed the prehistoric human to become the most efficient hunter on earth, providing him safety, food and raw materials such as bone, sinew and hide. From that time on, archery has played an important role in many of the world's civilizations. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, archery's importance as a cultural advance ranks with the art of making fire. The use of the bow appears in folklore from over 3000 years ago, although its invention probably predates that era. The development of archery followed a course of key innovations by many historical cultures. About 3500 B.C., Egyptians were using bows as tall as themselves. Their arrowheads, originally constructed of flint, were later made of bronze. Almost 2000 years later, the Assyrians developed the shorter recurve bow, which provided more power and easier handling. In about 1200 B.C., the Hittites developed the skill of shooting from moving chariots, and around 500 A.D., the Romans, formerly second-rate archers, began to draw the arrow to the face rather than the chest, giving the shot more accuracy.

Extractions: The earliest artwork showing the bow and arrow has turned up in Egypt, drawn about 5000 years ago, although historians date it's invention back at least 25,000 years. The Egyptians used bows to hunt, but also as a weapon of war. Before long the bow and arrow was added to the armoury of civilisations throughout the Ancient world, from Mediterranean to the Far East, Africa and the Americas. Around 1500BC the Assyrians developed the recurve bow, whose ability to bend back provided greater power and easier handling. The recurve bow has been refined somewhat since then, with fibreglass, carbon graphite and aluminium now the materials of choice, but the basic design principle is the same as that used in today's Olympic archery competitions.
