The Federation Internationale de Roller Skating (FIRS), the world governing body for roller skating competitions (hockey, speed and artistic, both on in-line skates and traditional four wheelers) has appointed Stephen Press, DC, of Englewood, New Jersey to head its commission. Dr. Press' background in rolling skating includes winning regional roller dance skating competitions with his partner in the 1960s, and coaching and judging competitions. This is the first time a chiropractor has held such a high position in the FIRS, an organization recognized by the International Olympic Committee and the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF), of which the Federation Internationale de Chiropratique Sportive (FICS) is a member. Dr. Press, a 1978 graduate of Palmer College who has been in private practice in New Jersey for more than two decades, has served on the board of the ACA Sports Council, and is particularly known for his work in international sports chiropractic. He was the founding president of the Federation Internationale de Chiropratique Sportive, and was the chief physician for the Soviet Olympic team at the XVIth Winter Olympic Games at Albertville, France in 1992.

Ireland and The Games Dan Keenan ROLLER SKATING: King's Hall in Belfast had never seen anything quite like this. Of course concert-goers have lifted the roof to stars like Elton John over the years. Boxing fans wept to some of Barry McGuigan's finest moments in the ring. But this was different. Roller skating might not have the adrenaline rush of a 100 metres sprint or the romance of a marathon, but for all that there was still passion a-plenty. Yesterday saw the "divisioning", or heats section, of the roller skating speed and artistic-dance competitions. The cavernous interior was converted into a sports arena for nearly 100 competitors, although none was from Ireland or Britain. They were supported by some 220 turquoise-shirted volunteers - in fact some volunteers were there to support other volunteers - and comprised a mix of translators, media officials and other staff.

Extractions: from Dr. Louis Grivetti, the project's compiler: This year, 1996, marks the centennial celebration of the modern Olympic movement. In this spirit of celebration we acknowledge and recognize the names and publications of more than 50,000 historical and contemporary scholars, linked by the thread of a united, common interest in athletics, sport, and recreation. Athletics, games, leisure pursuits, physical education, play activities, and sports lie at the junction between the humanities, social sciences, and biological-medical sciences. While athletic activities most likely had their origin in military training, it is difficult in modern times to separate each theme: athletics from games, games from leisure pursuits and physical education, physical education from play, play from recreation, or recreation from sports. During past and present centuries research on human athletics, games, play, recreation, and sports has been conducted by a broad range of scientists, whether dietitians, nutritionists, physiologists, or physicians. Research on these themes also has been conducted by a broad range of scholars representing the humanities and social sciences, whether anthropologists, artists, classicists, dancers, economists, geographers, historians, musicians, psychologists, social theorists, or sociologists.

Background Information Sports and the Olympic Tradition - An Important Part of Slovenia's Cultural Heritage March 2001 "You are a small country but great at sport!" These were the words of the President of the International Olympic Committee Juan Antonio Samaranch, who visited Slovenia in 1993, describing the extremely rapid development of sport and Olympic ideas in the country. Upon becoming an individual member of the Olympic family in 1992, new horizons opened up for the development of sport and Olympic ideals in Slovenia. Sport and the Olympic tradition are important parts of Slovenia's cultural heritage. In his book Slava vojvodine Kranjske ("The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola") the renowned historian Janez Vajkard Valvasor wrote about the skiers of the Blo¹ka planota (Bloke plain) as early as 1689. The early gymnastic clubs that formed in the mid-19th century brought sports closer to people and made a significant contribution to shaping Slovenian national consciousness. The development of modern sport in Slovenia is inseparably connected to the engineer

Extractions: Given their proverbial 15 minutes of fame on international television broadcasts, Olympians seem to leap out of each nation's population pool like rainbow troutflashy examples of the most robust athletes yetbefore plunging underwater with a splash into the anonymity of the school that produced them. So it is with Jondon Trevena, age 28. An Olympian at the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, he's surfaced before. Now, four years later, he hopes to give another spectacular show of athleticism around the oval that made Eric Heiden (five-time gold medalist) and Bonnie Blair (five-time gold medalist) household names. Trevena's relationship with speed first took off on the scarred maple floor of his parents' original roller rink in Brighton, Coloradothe Wagon Wheel Roller Skate Rink. Before he grew old enough to sell tickets and teach safety rules to the mostly under-age-16 birthday party crowd, he was grooving like everyone else beneath rotating disco balls and laser lights.

Extractions: Archives Pictured (clockwise from bottom): the French Petitbled from 1819, an 1860 in-line of unknown manufacture, a model from 1994 produced by Rollerblade, Inc., and a 1930s clamp-on in-line from the BEB Skate Company. The first known skates created in the 1760s possessed a single line of wheels and for the next century wheels on skates followed this alignment. In 1819, M. Petitbled in Paris patented the first roller skate, again possessing three wheels in a row. During the next forty years, all skates had an in-line set of wheels, varying in number (some had as many as six or as few as two) and in their design. These skates, however, lacked the ability to turn easily. In 1863, James Plimpton revolutionized the roller skate by inventing a skate with four wheels, two pairs set side by side, also known as a quad skate. Because this skate allowed for greater control and ease of skating, the four-wheeled skate quickly came to dominate the industry. Though largely renounced in favor of the more popular quad skate, several companies designed skates using an in-line set of wheels. The in-line skate Scott Olson saw which influenced his idea for Rollerblade skates, however, was a 1966 Chicago Roller Skate Company skate. Possessing four wheels in a row, with the front and back wheel extending beyond the boot, the skate resembled the blade of an ice skate. The Olson brothers adopted and adapted this design, and with it caused a popular reaction to roller skating nearly unparalleled in the sport's history.
