Only Ethiopia and Cuba joined North Korea's boycott; thus the 1988 Olympics turned out to be a very large, exciting, and competitive event. The amateur rule, which had plagued athletes and officials alike since the beginning of the Olympic Games, was finally overturned in 1986. It was now up to individual sports groups to determine whether or not "professionals" should be allowed to compete in the Olympics. This new rule allowed tennis to return to the Olympic Games, not having appeared since when it was eliminated because of professional/amateur difficulties.

THE RENAISSANCE OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES The first Session of the IOC was held in Paris on 23-24 June 1894. It was during the first Session that the city of Athens was selected for the Games of the I Olympiad. The inauguration of the first Games of the modern era, opened by King George I at the foot of the Acropolis on April 5, 1896, was a huge relief for baron Pierre de Coubertin. Greece's instability and economic stature, due to numerous conflicts, proved almost insurmountable obstacles. However, a wealthy Greek architect from Alexandria, George Averoff, donated a gift of one million drachma and in a matter of 18 months a superb white marble stadium, able to hold 60,000 people, was constructed. Baron de Coubertin's dream of reinventing the Games was one he had coveted since 1892 - two years later the official announcement was made and Athens chosen as the site. Baron Pierre de Coubertin invited countries from all over the world to attend the first of the new Olympics in Athens.

After two big consecutive boycotts led by superpowers, the number of candidates to host the Olympics decreased and Seoul easily got the right to host the1988 Olympics. The number of countries participating in the Olympic Games rocketed in Seoul. But before the Games, there were widespread mass demonstrations in South Korea. Some flaws in the organization and excessive partiality of the referees and spectators led to protests. The September 1981 IOC designation of Seoul as host of the Games caused a stir among several countries - notably the Soviet Union and her satellite countries, who had no diplomatic relations with the Koreans.

Extractions: Home Game Index Features FAQ About Search Board Games Pub Games Table Games Lawn Games The origin of Tennis, like so many Sports and Games is something of a mystery with various theories having been espoused. One version would have us believe that Stone Age man once hit rocks backwards and forwards with clubs, perhaps. A more substantial beginning is that Tennis derived from Handball, a version of which was played in the ancient world including the civilisations of Rome, Greece and Egypt. There is an Egyptian town on the Nile called Tinnis (in Arabic) and some speculate that this is the origin of the name 'Tennis'. Another string to this theory's bow is that the term 'racquet' is thought to derive from the Arabic word 'rahat' which means 'the palm of the hand' By the 14th century, Tennis had found its way to England where both Henry VII and Henry VIII apparently became keen players and instigated the building of courts up and down the country. Apparently Henry VIII invented the 'service' - his servants used to throw the ball up in the air for him because he was too fat to do it himself. The Tennis racket by 1500 was no longer completely made of wood but consisted of a wooden handle with a sheep gut strung head. The Royal enthusiasm for the game continued both in France during the sixteenth century where there were apparently more than 1000 courts in Paris alone at that time and in England during the Tudor seventeenth century. Notable English royal players include George IV (1763-1830), Prince Albert (1819-1861) who owned a locker in the changing room at Hampton Court Palace which still bears his name, Edward VII (1842-1910) and George V (1866-1936). For unknown reasons, the game's popularity waned in France and England during the 17th century and in France it was virtually non-existent by 1800.

Extractions: Home The Olympic Movement Olympic Issues In the Ancient Olympic Games, women were forbidden to take part. Married women were forbidden to even enter the competition areas as spectators. If they were caught, the punishment was death. Therefore, they created their own Games dedicated to the goddess Hera. Hera was the sister-wife of Zeus. The Olympic Games were dedicated to Zeus. When the Olympic Games were revived in 1896 even the founder himself, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, did not agree with women's participation in the Games. This issue was the topic of much debate between the initial members of the IOC. However, women did not take part in the Games until 1900 in Paris. It was here that Britain's Charlotte Cooper became the first female gold medallist in the tennis singles competition. Only one other sport saw women's participation in 1900, golf. In London at the 1908 Games there were 36 women competitors in the figure skating and tennis events. After these Games and a recommendation from the British Olympic Association that women swimmers, divers and gymnasts be allowed to compete in future Games, the Swedish Organising Committee included two swimming events and one diving contest for women at the 1912 Stockholm Games. Finally, in 1924 the IOC decided to allow a larger participation of women in the Games. However, there was little evidence of this even by the 1936 Games in Berlin where there were only four sports available to women.

Summer Olympics 2000 Kafelnikov Takes Gold, Makes Russian History Russian history Reuters SYDNEY, Australia Just three weeks ago Yevgeny Kafelnikovwas not even sure he should be playing in the olympic tennis tournament http://espn.go.com/oly/summer00/tennis/s/2000/0928/785177.html
Extractions: SYDNEY, Australia Just three weeks ago Yevgeny Kafelnikov was not even sure he should be playing in the Olympic tennis tournament, never mind winning it. "I was thinking it's probably not worth it for me to come here the way I was playing then," Kafelnikov said in Sydney on Thursday after winning OLympic gold. Now, after beating Germany's Tommy Haas in a hard-fought final 7-6, 3-6, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, he reflected on his mood in early September after losing to Slovakia's Dominik Hrbaty in straight sets in the third round of the U.S. Open. "I was really down on myself after that loss and had all kind of thoughts, but I had never said to anyone that I'm pulling out." Nevertheless, his words in New York were interpreted quite differently in Moscow, bringing a storm of criticism back home from Russian Olympic chief Vitaly Smirnov as well as the media. "You can make millions of dollars or commute in a private jet, but when it comes to giving your best for your country, he takes a back seat to many of our true sports heroes," Smirnov said when he thought Kafelnikov was pulling out of the Olympics.
