Extractions: Making Olympic History New York Times At the first modern Olympics in 1896, Melpomene became the first female to compete, although unofficially, in the games. Women have made many advancements in the Olympic games over the past 100 years and it appears that the 2000 games in Sydney, Australia will benefit them more than ever before. Two new sports have been added to the games, increasing the total number of sports to twenty-eight. In addition, Sydney will incorporate more than twenty new women's events into its program. This is twenty more than were seen in the Atlanta games in 1996. For the first time in Olympic competition, the Modern Pentathlon, Water Polo, and Weightlifting will include events for women. Athletic, Aquatic, and Shooting sports are also adding more women's events. Two sports being added to the Olympic agenda are the Triathlon and Mia Hamm (white jersey) battles for the ball during the U.S. women's 2-0 victory over Norway. (USA Today)

Extractions: Few in Atlanta will know his name, but Honolulu's Dr. Allen Richardson will be one of the most important players in the Summer Olympics. He won't swim a stroke or even bring a Speedo, but he has the influence and the power to affect the outcome of any aquatic event. Richardson is the chairman of the drug testing committee for the Federation Internationale Natacione Amateur (FINA), the organization that oversees swimming, diving, water polo and synchronized swimming. Any medal-winner caught using anabolic steroids or other banned performance-enhancing substances will find Richardson an uncompromising guardian of Olympic integrity. Chairman of FINA drug testing for four years, Richardson has been a watchdog for the organization since 1980 and has no problem with lowering the boom again on any competitor or nation trying to skirt international rules of fair play. "I think everyone is interested in having a level playing field," said the 49-year-old Richardson, a Honolulu arthroscopic surgeon married to two-time Olympic gold medalist (1964, 1968) Pokey Watson Richardson.
