Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Table of Contents Boxing was an official Olympic event in 1908. After skipping 1912, the sport has been on every Olympic program since 1920. Since 1936, the International Amateur Boxing Association has awarded the Val Barker Cup to the Olympic boxer displaying the best style and technique. Bal Barker was the first general-secretary of the association. Competitors take part in a single-elimination tournament with no seeding. Through 1948, the boxers who lost in the semi-final were matched in a fight for the bronze medal. Since 1952, bronze medals have been awarded to both semi-final losers. There are five judges for an Olympic bout. Through 1988, a majority vote of the judges determined the outcome. A computerized scoring system was adopted in 1992. Under that system, a judge is supposed to press a button to record each punch landed by a fighter and, if three of the five judges agree, that fighter is awarded a point. If the fight ends in a tie, the high and low scores are dropped and the scores of the three remaining judges are added. Bouts consisted of three 3-minute rounds until 2000, when the format was changed to four 2-minute rounds.

http://www.hickoksports.com/history/olancien.shtml

Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Although the ancient Olympic games were first recorded in 776 BC, they originated at least a century before that and possibly as early as the 13th century BC. One Greek legend said that the great Herakles (Hercules, in the Roman form) won a race at Olympia, a plain in the small state of Elis, and then decreed that the race should be re-enacted every four years. Another said that Zeus himself had originated the festival after defeating Cronus for the sovereignty of heaven. The more likely story is that the Olympic festival was a local religious event until 884 BC, when Iphitus, the king of Elis, decided to turn it into a broader, pan-Hellenic festival. To accomplish that, he entered into a temporary truce with other rulers, allowing athletes and others to travel peacefully to Olympia while the festival was going on. The Greeks based their chronology on four-year periods called Olympiads, and the Olympic festival marked the beginning of each Olympiad. Evidently, the festival was reorganized in 776 BC, which was considered the start of the first Olympiad. The festival was basically a religious gathering to celebrate the gods worshipped in common by all Hellenes, primarily Zeus. There were three other major pan-Hellenic festivals, the Pythian, the Nemean, and the Isthmian, all of which included fairs, but the festival at Olympia became pre-eminent by 572 BC, when Elis and Sparta entered into an alliance under which Elis was in charge of the event itself while Sparta enforced the sacred truce.

Extractions: Olympic-style boxing is vastly different than professional boxing. The scoring system in Olympic boxing awards one point to the fighter when he can connect with a punch and move away before his opponent can do the same. To count, a punch has to be delivered by the white part of the glove, which covers the knuckles. All legal blows are scored equally. Moves like pushing or pinning an opponent against the ropes, which are allowed in professional boxing, are not permitted in Olympic boxing. Competition

http://www.times-olympics.co.uk/communities/boxing/boxingancient.html

Extractions: Boxing's place in the Olympic Games was assured for four more years after much debate post-Atlanta about controversial judging and scoring, poor refereeing and not least of all the risk of brain damage through punches to the head. Olympic boxers have long worn protective head gear, though here too some experts have offered up evidence that, even with head gear, the sport is dangerous. It is an argument that dates back to the birth of the modern Games - though the ancient fathers of Olympic sport appeared to care less for rules, regulations and safety. In the ancient Olympics, boxers wore no more than leather straps on their hands for protection and the winner was the man left standing, head held high, either because his rival was on the floor or had conceded. That approach was civilised compared with the preferences of the Romans, who liked their fighters to wear gladiatorial spikes on their gloves, or have the gloves weighed down by strips of lead; such fights often ended when one of the fighters dropped dead.

Extractions: by Gerry Brown Although boxing was considered too violent for inclusion at the first modern Olympics in , it showed up as a demonstration sport in in St. Louis and then as a medal sport in in London. Boxing was omitted once again, however, in in Stockholm. Since the 1916 Berlin Games were never held due to World War I, boxing didn't permanently join the Olympic fold until in Antwerp. Since then it has included some of the most memorable champions in Olympic history from Cassius Clay and George Foreman to Oscar De La Hoya and Teofilo Stevenson The boxers, separated into 12 different weight classes from light flyweight (48kg or about 106 pounds) to super heavyweight (over 91kg or 200+ pounds), are paired off after a random draw and compete in a single elimination tournament. Unlike most other events, two bronze medals are awarded in boxing. One goes to each of the two semifinal bout losers.
