Ancient Olympic Games - By Harvey Abrams, BS, MAT, Ph.d/abd
Go back to my front page on olympic history olympic games history Page.Copyright © 2000, 2003, 2004 Harvey Abrams. All rights reserved.
http://www.harveyabramsbooks.com/ancient.html

Extractions: Harvey Abrams, BS, MAT, Ph.d/abd. The ancient Olympic Games are so old that even the ancient Greeks didn't know how they started. The origins of the ancient Games are steeped in legend and myth. Different versions of the origins of the Games were described by ancient writers such as Pindar, Strabo, Phlegon, Pausanius and Eusebius. Of course all of these writers came many years after the ILIAD and the ODYSSEY were written by an ancient Greek writer named Homer . There is no evidence to date Homer's works, but they appear to be from the period of the 10th to the 6th centuries BCE. In fact, there is no evidence that shows Homer was the writer and it is possible that these works were written by more than one person. Remember what we know today is only a mere fraction of what happened 3,000 years ago. Think about your own history what happened on the day you were born? What evidence exists to prove it? Your birth certificate? Your parents told you about it? Was there a newspaper article written about your birth? Did you talk to any doctors or nurses who were there?

Extractions: History of Road Cycling: Cycling has enjoyed resurgence in Australia due largely to the success of Australian cyclists overseas. In recent years Australian Professionals’ such as Phil Anderson, Neil Stephens, Robbie McEwen and Stuart O’Grady have enjoyed stage wins in the Worlds biggest cycle race, "Le Tour de France". Phil Anderson and Stuart O’Grady remain the only two Australians’ to ever wear the leaders yellow jersey. Technology advances are making considerable differences to the average speeds of cyclists.

Commonly used materials in a bicycles structure are carbon-fibre, titanium and aluminium.

http://www.olympics.org.uk/olympicmovement/ancienthistory.asp

Extractions: The modern marathon is one event which originated in these Ancient Games. Legend has it that Miltiades, a Greek General with an Athenian army, fought and won a battle against the Persians. He called for an Athenian runner and asked him to carry the victorious news back to Athens. The runner's journey was 24 miles but he entered the streets of Athens and shouted 'Rejoice! We conquer!' He then dropped dead. Although the accuracy of this tale is questionable, the first Modern Olympic Games in 1896, included the marathon to commemorate this legend.

Extractions: Olympic Links. There are over 320 different organisations in the Olympic Movement. It's amazing what you come up with if you trawl the web. There are also thousands of observers and commentators, historians and authors writing on the Olympics. Olympism is out there ... here's my selection of Olympic links to the most interesting sites. Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles Olympic Info Center "The Amateur Athletic Foundation possesses one of the world's largest collections of Olympic Games information. The collection contains a copy of every official report of the modern Olympic Games; bid documents; several thousand books and periodicals covering all aspects of the Olympic Games; ephemeral materials; the Avery Brundage Collection on microfilm; a large number of Olympic posters and related art; Olympic medals, and thousands of photographs." A goldmine of information. Link >>> Association of Summer Olympic International Federations "The Summer Olympic International Federations are the organisations responsible for what happens on the field of play at the Olympic Games. With their long history of specific experience and know-how in running their sports on a daily basis, the Federations play a key role in the proper functioning of the sporting competitions at the Games." It's a talking shop for summer sports, basically. Link >>> Athens 2004 Olympic Games "In 2004, the Olympic Games are returning to their ancient birthplace and the city of their revival. Athletes from all nations will unite in Greece to engage in noble competition." That's if the venues are ready. Oh, and beware the misleading ATHOC budget: the Eur 1.9 billion listed here excludes the Eur 4.4 billion Greek Government budget, the Eur 20.9 billion EU-funded infrastructure budget and many indirect costs.
