Extractions: The Girl's Game - ABC Radio with Amanda Smith, 29 September 2000 Women have played an enormous role in painting the Olympic picture. Since Charlotte Cooper of Great Britain won gold in singles tennis at the 1900 Paris Olympics, many women have put their stamp on Olympic history. There are those who have dominated, like the great Dutch athlete Fanny Blankers-Koen who became the first woman to win four gold medals in a single Games, and Larissa Latynina of the Soviet Union, whose nine gold, five silver and four bronze over the course of three Olympiads remains a record for men and women. There are those who are renown for their "firsts" like Nadia Comanici who became the first Olympic gymnast male or female to score a perfect 10 in competition and American Joan Benoit who won the first women’s Olympic marathon in 1984. Women athletes in many countries have historically made a disproportionately high contribution to the medals count at the Games. This has certainly been true for Australia. In certain Olympic sports, particularly swimming and track and field, Australian women have been outstanding. For example in track and field up to and including Atlanta, since 1948 women have constituted just over 30% of the track and field team but have won 75% of all medals and 11 out of 14 gold medals.

The rings represent the five parts of the world that were joined together in the Olympic movement: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. The motto of the Olympic Games is "Citius, altius, fortius" (meaning "Faster, higher, stronger" in Latin). History of the Olympics Flag The flag was first used in the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium. The Olympic flag is paraded during the opening ceremony of each Olympic Games. At the end of an Olympics, the mayor of the host-city presents the flag to the mayor of the next host-city. The flag will remain in the town hall of the next host-city until the next Olympic Games, four years later.
1900 PARIS OLYMPIC GAMES Rowley holds an unique place in olympic history. the misapprehension that the gameshootingwas actually Australian Medal Winners 1900 Paris olympic Games. Gold. http://abc.net.au/olympics_1996/game1900.htm
Extractions: The 1900 Paris Olympics held in conjunction with the Paris Expo, which took place over five months from May to October, were a strange conglomeration of sporting events. Even today there is still some confusion over whether some of the competitions were official or not. For instance, the program for the athletics was headed Republique Francaise Exposition Universelle de 1900, Championnats Internationaux and competitors believed they were taking part in a glorified international event. Some winners died years later without realising they were Olympic champions. Australia had three representatives - swimmer Fred Lane, athlete Stan Rowley and an obscure shooter Donald Mackintosh. Lane won two swimming events, both held in the murky waters of the River Seine, and would most certainly have won a third had the organisers not decided, at the last moment, to scrap his favourite race - the 100yd . For some unexplained reason, the races at the Paris Olympics were swum over yards and not metres. In the 220yd freestyle, Lane and Hungarian Zoltan Halmay were neck and neck for most of the race before Lane drew clear in the last 50 yards to win by more than 6 seconds. His time of 2 min 25.2 sec was well inside his own world best effort of 2 min 38.2 sec, but this was because he swam with the river current. Lane's second success came later on the same day in the obstacle race, a quaint event that involved swimmers getting over or under three sets of obstacles. Needless to say, it was the only time this ridiculous event was ever held. Lane won easily in a time of 2 min 38.4 sec. For his efforts, Lane did not receive gold medals, but 25 kilogram bronze sculptures (one of a horse and the other of a peasant girl, replicas of exhibits in the Louvre museum).
