    Extractions: Contents Editorial IOC Conference in Prague Debut in Athens Harilaos Vassilakos, the hot favorite who came second ... HOC Plenary Session Debut in Athens By Thodoris Georgantas Greek male and female athletes will make their debut in six out of 28 sports included in the Athens Olympic Games program in August 2004. Never before in the Olympic Games history has a Greek athlete took part in the volleyball, in handball and in other sports less popular in Greece, such as baseball, softball, hockey and badminton. In August 2004 in Athens, Greek athletes will compete in sports most of the Greeks are not familiar with, as well as in sports, like volley ball and handball, Greek athletes are proud of great distinctions. But there are also sports where Greece has never been represented at the Olympics. VOLLEYBALL The President of Greece's Volley Ball Federation (EOPE) and Hellenic Olympic Committee's (HOC) treasurer Thanassis Beligratis was very clear about the participation of national volleyball teams of men and women in the Athens Olympic Games. "We won't participate in the Games just to parade", he said. "The program of our national volleyball teams' preparation for the 2004 was set up when our country won the Olympic Games organization. We have been working on that and I hope that our teams will manage to star both in the volleyball and in the beach volleyball". Greece's national men's team won a bronze medal at a European championship, while they took the sixth place, the best they had ever achieved, at the World Championship which took place in Athens in 1994. In the beach volleyball, Greece can be proud of a gold medal at a European championship. It is worth mentioning that volleyball was introduced to the Olympic Games in 1964 in Tokyo, while beach volleyball was introduced to the Olympic Games program in 1996 in Atlanta. Greece has already a participation in two Games.

    http://www.yvwiiusdinvnohii.net/history/ThorpeAthleteOfTheCentury.htm
    
    Extractions: Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, I rise today to submit a resolution recognizing Jim Thorpe as the Athlete of the Century. Born to an impoverished family on Sac-and-Fox Indian land, Jim Thorpe overcame adverse circumstances to excel as an amateur and as a professional in three sports; track and field, football and baseball. Thorpe, who was voted 'Athlete of the First Half of the Century' by the Associated Press almost fifty years ago, is the only American athlete ever to excel at this level in three major sports. As a student at Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, Thorpe proved his athletic ability early on. One anecdote recalls how the 5-foot-9 1/2 inch, 144-pound Thorpe almost single-handedly overcame the entire Lafayette track team at a meeting in Easton, Pennsylvania, winning six events. Also while attending the Carlisle Indian School, Jim Thorpe established his amateur football record playing halfback, defender, punter, and place-kicker. In 1911, he was named an All American. In 1912, he represented the United States and the Sac-and-Fox Nation in the Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden. To this day, Thorpe is the only athlete to win gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon. After his Olympic feats in Sweden, Thorpe returned to Carlisle's football team and was named an All-American again.

    Extractions: "The solemn periodic manifestation of male sport based on internationalism, on loyalty as a means, on arts as a background and the applause of women as a recompense." - Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games. Since Baron de Coubertin uttered those words in the late 1890's, the world has changed almost beyond recognition. Instead of merely applauding the achievements of others, women now wish to share the spotlight. MILESTONES Women's Sport from 440 BC to 1998 The Women's Olympic Games of the 20's and 30's Velma Springstead died before she was 20 but her name is still prominent for Canadian sportswoman.

    Extractions: ANCIENT ORIGINS CUBA REIGNS AS PROFESSIONALS ENTER THE ALL-AMERICAN GAME Baseball evolved from the English game of rounders, which is not dissimilar to a game played by the Egyptians more than 2,000 years ago. In 1845, a man called Cartwright in the US is believed to have outlined the first set of rules for the game we know today as baseball and from that first official game was played in 1846 between the Knickerbockers and the New York Nine in Hoboken, New Jersey. From that start the game became the most popular sport in the US, ranking alongside swimming as one of the biggest participation sports in the US and a multimillion-pound business. The first professional game was played in 1869 and a US national league formed in 1876. Disputes between leagues led to the formation of the National Commission, which governed the sport from 1903 to 1920 and under whose wing the World Series was born. The game spread to Europe during the Second World War but did not take off as it did in Asia and South America.

    Extractions: Montreal, Canada Since it opened in 1977 as a baseball stadium, Olympic Stadium has become one of the worst stadiums in the sport. The Montreal Expos began playing at Jarry Park in 1969. The team hoped to be playing in a new domed stadium by 1972. But they had to play five more years at Jarry Park. With Montreal hosting the 1976 Olympics, a new stadium had to be constructed. The new stadium was named Olympic Stadium

"One nice letter from MLB and the union, saying in Beijing the best players will be participating, and problem solved," Notari said. "A dream team from America, Japan, Cuba, everyone, will give (NBC Sports president) Dick Ebersol a big TV audience in America. One (Olympic baseball) game on TV with major league players will be more important to help baseball (spread) than any money (MLB) could spend on baseball around the world." Baseball America

    Extractions: Olympic Baseball Stamp On April 3, 1992, the U.S. Postal Service held first day of issue ceremonies in Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium for the release of a new stamp commemorating the addition of baseball as a medal sport in the Summer Olympics. The selection of Atlanta's stadium for release of the stamp was in recognition of the fact that this stadium that would be the venue for baseball competition in the 1996 Summer Olympics. A second reason the Postal Service gave for releasing the stamp in Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium was the fact that the Braves had been in the 1991 World Series, and part of the series was played in this stadium. The ceremony was closed to the public but was broadcast nationwide via satellite. [See photo of unveiling stamp.] Click here to view Olympic Baseball first day of issue cancel.
