Riding High On The Cycle Of History Edgar Bieber and the rest of the 1936 US olympic cycling team watch in bewilderment seesthe face that will soon change the course of world history, the face http://www.gwu.edu/~bygeorge/nov5ByG!/bieber.html
Extractions: Reaching into his bag, Bieber retrieves a pair of binoculars and peers across the mammoth stadium to catch a glimpse of what could be causing the commotion. Adjusting the focus of his glasses, Bieber sees the face that will soon change the course of world history, the face of evil itself, the face of Adolf Hitler. A resident of the Schenley for 63 years, Bieber remembers the days when the street lamps were lit by hand, when there were civil defense blackouts, and when Foggy Bottom suffered from a frog infestation. He delivered newspapers to the Schenley building as a teenager, when the first Miss America Pageant winner, Margaret Gorman, still owned it. Fate introduced Bieber to the sport that would become his passion. While growing up in Southeast DC, the United States cycling champion, Charles Smithson, lived across the street from him. While one brilliant career ended, another started when Smithson retired and gave Bieber his equipment, bike, and jersey. Not long after, Bieber won his first title, District of Columbia champion, in 1927.

Extractions: History of cycling Notes on the early development of the bicycle and the sporting structure Source: Gherardo Bonini from his booklet on the quadrennium 1893-1896 NB. This is not necessarily the official UCI view about this period of history, it is simply one individuals account of events in this period. Around 1880, the sport and pastime of cycling was growing at an amazing rate. The Italian philosopher Benedetto Croce said: Cycling is the craze with which we end the century. The Bicycle Union , the oldest cycling federation in the world, was founded in Great Britain in 1878. It changed its name in 1883 to the National Cyclists Union (NCU) in order to encompass tricyclists. England hosted several unofficial world championships in the 1880s, but lost its position of dominance of these events towards the end of the decade. A crucial year was 1887, when the European Champion, Dutch rider Kiderlen won the NCU championship on a tricycle. In so doing, Kiderlen was the first continental European to win an English cycle racing title of any description. In 1881

It was renamed by the USCF in 1980, and is one of the few races in the country to be designated as a "classic." The first race was organized by Guy Morin as a memorial to his teammate Art Longsjo. Longsjo was a originally a speed skater from Fitchburg, and a very good one. As part of his training, he took up cycling, which uses similar muscles and involves similar tactics. The picture to the left was taken at his first bike race, the 1953 Massachusetts state championship. His clothing in the photograph is what he rode in, a t-shirt, cutoff skating tights, and moccasins, augmented only with a borrowed helmet. Longsjo didn't have a car, so he rode his bike for the hour and a half journey to Westboro Raceway, stopping along the way to reinflate his leaky front tire. Art competed in three events, the one-mile race, the three-mile race and the 25-mile race. His very first race was the qualifying heat for the one-mile, which he won impressively. He proceeded to win all three races.

Extractions: The Early Years As a teenager growing up in Colorado, Bobby was introduced to many outdoor sports. Bobby's father, Bob Sr. began competing in triathlons, and took young Bobby on bike rides with him. He encouraged Bobby to take up triathlons as well, but Bobby wasn't as excited about running and swimming. After seeing Greg LeMond in the Tour de France on television, Bobby decided cycling was the sport for him. In 1985, at age 14, Bobby decided to enter the Red Zinger Mini Classic, a stage race in Boulder for junior riders. He quickly revealed his talent by winning his age category. Bobby went on to win many more races as a junior, including the Junior National Road Race Championship in 1987, and was named as a member of the US Junior National Team. He won the Tour de LAbitibi, a prestigious junior stage race in Canada in 1988 and 1989, and also competed in the Junior World Championships in Moscow.

History And Geography Of The Olympic Games In Ancient Greece fortythree events divided among nine sports cycling, fencing, gymnastics olympicsWebsite history Pages; Boston Marathon history; olympic Marathon, by http://www.experienceplus.com/essay_olympics.html
Extractions: History and Geography of the Olympic Games in Ancient Greece by Rick Price, PhD. co-owner and co-founder of ExperiencePlus! Specialty Tours, Inc. The Olympics came to us as one of the oldest institutions of Classical Greece. Although the first written record of the games dates to 776 B.C., their origins go back at least five hundred years earlier and are linked to religious events well before that. The games honored Zeus, supreme god of all the Greeks and ruler of the sky (Zeus's brothers Poseidon and Hades ruled the sea and the Underworld, respectively). The Olympic games were officially abolished by the Roman emperor in 394 AD after a run of 1170 years! As god of all kings and of all humans, Zeus ruled from lofty Mt. Olympus north of Athens. His primary role was to keep the peace among those same gods and "men" on earth. In his honor a universal truce applied during the Olympic Games every four years and even though the truce was broken on several occasions, the games were never interrupted as a result of war. The reasons for the location of the games in "Olympia," near the west coast of the Peloponnesian peninsula are lost in history. The site was never a major city or permanent settlement except during the games themselves when tens of thousands of spectators and participants camped on the grounds. Evidence suggests that the site of Olympia was once the location of a religious festival honoring Gaia, the Earth Mother. Indeed, the site must have had strong historic and religious roots as it is located on the western edge of Classical Greece far from the Greek heartland as this

Extractions: The Modern Olympic Games started in 1896 in Athens, Greece. The Athens Games of 1896 were a great success and were held in a superb white marble stadium, which was constructed in less than 18 months, able to hold 60.000 spectators. King George of Greece opened the event on April 5 in front of a full stadium. Thirteen countries competed (Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark, Chile, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States). Nine sports, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, lawn tennis, shooting, swimming, track and field, weight lifting, and wrestling were on the agenda April 6 15, 1896. The first heat of the 100m which was won by Francis Lane, USA, in a time of 12.5 sec, was the first competition of the Modern Olympics. The first winner was the American James Connolly, who won the triple jump of 13.71 metres. Worth to mention is also Edwin Flack, the only representative from Australia, a 23 year old accountant who won the 800 and 1500 metres track events. He also competed in the marathon until fatigue forced him to withdraw and in the singles and doubles tennis events.

Extractions: The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee was formerly called the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Association The Working Committee was first established in 1946, when it was felt that Trinidad and Tobago, a British Colony at the time, should take part in the quadrennial Olympic Games. This original Committee made up of four member-federations (Athletics, Cycling, Football and Weightlifting) was extended provisional recognition by the International Olympic Committee in 1946, thus Trinidad and Tobago was able to send a Team to the Central American and Caribbean Games held in Barranquilla, Colombia. Formal affiliation to the International Olympic Committee was granted to the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Association at the International Olympic Committee session held in London (1948) on the occasion of the celebration of the 15th Olympic Games.

Extractions: Contents Editorial Representatives of the Olympic spirit The first Greek lady of the Olympics Pictograms ... HOC Plenary Session Greek Cycling in the Olympic Games By Nikos Gomolis After 108 years, Greek cycling came out of the silence and looks to better days in the Athens Olympic Games. It was in Athens in 1896, in the first modern Olympic Games, when Greek cyclists won five medals in total and before Greek cycling sport fell into obscurity. "Every start seems to be difficult", according to a Greek saying, but Greek cyclists offered great joy to the Greek fans at the time. However, since the Athens 1896 Games and till the Sydney Games Greek cycling had had a very difficulty time. But finally Greek cyclists saw the first ray of light in Australia. Barkas, Georgalis and Vassilopoulos came very close to winning a bronze medal and they finally took the fourth place in the Olympic sprint race. Greece had totally won a gold medal, three silver and a bronze one in cycling in the 1896 Games. Aristidis Constantinidis set the ball rolling winning the only gold medal in Greece's cycling history in the 87 kilometers road race finishing in three hours and 13 minutes. Athenian people were very familiar with cycling, because bicycle was the main mean of transport at the time. Stamatis Nikolopoulos won two medals, the only Greek cyclist who won two medals in Greece's cycling history. Nikolopoulos won two silver medals in the 12 and 2 kilometers race, while Yiorgos Kolettis won the third medal in the 100 kilometers marathon race. Panagiotis Paraskevopoulos won Greece's single bronze medal in the 12 hours race.
