Equipment Rules History Glossary ... Sports Entry Forms Softball is an exciting game played by men and women of all ages all around the world. It was invented at the end of the 19th century as an indoor game and has become very popular among a number of countries, including the United States, Australia, Japan and China to name a few. Description Softball is played by two teams, nine players per team on the field, alternating turns at bat and defense. The aim of the team in offense is to hit the ball with the bat and, by consecutively reaching all three bases to return to the home plate and earn a run. The team in defense on the other hand pitches the ball to the team in offense and tries to prevent the other team from gaining points.

Extractions: Competitors in the men's triathlon swim past the Sydney Opera House. Simon Whitfield of Canada won the gold medal today in Sydney. The no-hitter belonged to U.S. softball pitcher Lori Harrigan, whose near-perfect game today (Saturday night CDT) led the Americans past Canada, 6-0, as her team opened its defense of the 1996 gold medal. The run came from Canadian Simon Whitfield, who capped a grueling men's triathlon by sprinting to victory in the final 200 meters outside Sydney Opera House. And the end of era was marked by the passing of IOC head Juan Antonio Samaranch's wife, who stood beside him during his 20-year reign atop the Olympic movement. In the first Olympic men's triathlon, Whitfield survived a crash during the bike race, then summoned his energy for a medal-winning burst. Whitfield blew past silver medalist Stephan Vuckovic of Germany for the victory; the bronze went to Jan Rehula of the Czech Republic.

Extractions: an Olympic sport in 2000 G'DAY, mate. What's a bison? Something to wash your face in. Sorry. I was just brushing up on my Australian. Now that the Centennial Games in Atlanta are over, I'm looking forward to the New Millennium Games in Sydney when it hosts the Olympics in the Year 2000. It also means farewell to the word, "repechage," which can be found in your daily newspaper only once every four years -during the Olympics. Repechage is French for a second chance. Well, I sure hope that there's no repechage for beach volleyball in the next Olympics. It was one of the sports added to the Atlanta Games, along with softball. But unlike softball, which provided a great story, beach volleyball only detracted from real volleyball. It got to the point where some of the media started referring to the latter as indoor volleyball. Give me a break. Knowing the Aussies - and with Sydney home to 30 beaches - it's very likely that beach volleyball might reappear again. I hope not. Instead, I wish the Aussies would opt for rugby, Australian Rules Football or even surfing. And I'm sure that if Greg Norman had any input, golf would be introduced. It's the closest that Greg will ever get to seeing his world tour happen. There was a restaurant ad in the paper the other day saying that "sushi rolling is not an Olympic event ... yet!"

Extractions: This is an archive copy of a document originally located at http://www.activeaustralia.org/women/olym_hist.htm The 20th May 2000 marks the 100th anniversary of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games. It also marks the centenary of womens participation in the modern Olympics. Three events were available for women at the 1900 Olympic Games: golf, tennis and yachting. When the modern Olympic Games began in 1896 women had no part in the competition. In fact, the founder of the modern Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin had said on several occasions that the Olympics were no place for women. He felt that rather than seek records for herself, a womans greatest achievement was to encourage her sons to excel. Women had to work to gain a presence in the Olympic arena and force open the door to one sport after another. Swimming for women was included in the Games in 1912 and a limited program of track and field was added in 1928. Womens races longer than 200m were banned until 1960 when the 800m was reintroduced. The womens marathon was not added until 1984. In 1992 the 10,000m walk was introduced and recently, waterpolo which had been the domain of men since the Olympics first began was added to the 2000 Olympic Games program for women. 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.

Extractions: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BLACKTOWN, Australia Laura Berg deserved this moment of luck, this one ball drifting in a gentle arc through a soft, steady rain, up into the lights, just far enough to make trouble for the Japanese left fielder playing shallow on the slick grass. The whole American softball team, so beaten down five days ago that the players resorted to a mock voodoo ritual in the shower to wash away their jinx, deserved this magical moment Tuesday when the ball landed smack in the fielder's glove then squirted free. One fortuitous fly ball on a night when they could manage only one hit, and suddenly the beleaguered US. women were 2-1 victors over Japan, and Olympic champions again.

Extractions: The Federated States of Micronesia National Olympic Committee (FSMNOC) was formed in 1996 and achieved International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognition on 6 September 1997. The Federated States of Micronesia NOC remains the newest member of the IOC. At the upcoming Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, history will be made with the flag of the Federated States of Micronesia being carried at the opening ceremony for the first time. In support of its application for IOC membership, the Federated States of Micronesia held the first and second FSM Games and became affiliated to numerous international sport federations. In June 1995, the first FSM Games were held on the island of Pohnpei. Over 900 athletes and coaches from the four FSM island states of Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei and Kosrae competed in twelve sport championships. From 1995 to 1997, seven national sport federations became affiliated with their respective international sport federations. In July 1997, the second FSM Games were held on the island of Kosrae. Over 1,000 athletes and coaches participated in thirteen sport championships over a two-week period. In June 1997, the FSMNOC formally submitted an application for membership in the IOC. The FSMNOC is the national organization responsible for the coordination and management of FSM athletes and teams participating in the Olympic Games and the South Pacific Games. With funding assistance for Olympic Solidarity and International Federations, it also directs technical assistance to members in sport administration, coaching, training elite athletes and sports medicine. The short-term goal of the NOC is to develop a strong junior sport program throughout the islands. Within ten years, this program will help develop and detect future elite athletes who will represent the FSM in the Olympic Games.
