3. Potted History took part in just two olympic sports in 1900 sports historians now accept that women were involved women also participated in ballooning, croquet, equestrianism http://www.olympicwomen.co.uk/Potted.htm

Potted History Some early history about women and the Olympics Married women were barred from the Ancient Olympic Games, but prostitutes or virgins were allowed to spectate. Kallipateria was the first female Olympic boxing coach in 440 BC. The first female Olympic champion was a Spartan princess called Kynisca, in 392 BC. She was also the first woman to become a champion horse trainer when her horses and chariot competed and won in the Ancient Olympic Games. Women had their own athletic games of Hera from about 1000 BC. Women were originally the prizes in mens Ancient Olympic chariot races. Ballooning, croquet and golf (1900) were once Olympic events in which women competed. Please see Statistics for more information. 1900 was the year the World Exhibition was scheduled to take place in Paris, with celebrations and events akin to our own Millennium celebrations. The Olympic Games were taking place at the same time, from 14th May to 28th October and were considered by many to be part of the World Exhibition. Some of the competitors did not know if they were in the Olympic Games or the World Fair. Happily for the women athletes of the time, the all male International Olympic Committee, who were very against women taking parts in sports, had little influence in Paris. The organisers of the World Exhibition seemed unconcerned about the rights and wrongs of women competing, so their presence was not an issue. To this day there is still confusion as to which events were Olympic and which were World Fair events. So, who were the first female Olympic competitors and champion? For a sport to be Olympic in 1900 it had to be an open sport, amateur and international, not handicapped and not motorised. The long-held view was that women took part in just

Daring sporting performance at the 46th Gordon Bennett version française Created in 1906 and reserved exclusively for gas balloons, the Gordon Bennett Cup is the oldest aeronautical competition organized under the supervision of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. Last Saturday, 31 August 2002, around midnight, 17 crews representing 8 different nations took off for the 46th edition of this prestigious competition, climbing high in the sky above Châtellerault (FRA) with the aim of flying as far as possible in any direction. After three days and nights on board their home-built balloon, "Le Petit Prince", the two brothers Vincent and Jean-François LEYS (FRA) won the Gordon Bennett Cup for the second consecutive year. This time, the LEYS Brothers chose an especially daring flight route. After leaving the French coast between La Rochelle and Bordeaux, they skirted the north coast of Spain and then flew out on a semi-circular route over the Atlantic Ocean leaving the Portuguese coast more than 400 km behind them. With the help of their expert forecaster, the two aeronauts finally returned to dry land, touching down safely yesterday (Tuesday) evening at 20:12 UTC 100 kilometres north-west of Faro (Portugal), having covered a straight distance of 1282 km from their starting point. The pilots had meteorological assistance from Luc TRULLEMANS, the forecaster who guided the non-stop round-the-world balloon flights of Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones in 1999, and of Steve Fossett in 2002.

Drugs Controversy Terrorism Media ... Olympics Women in the Olympics Australian Medal Tally Women in the Olympic Games ANCIENT OLYMPIC GAMES Today women make up a considerable portion of people competing in and watching the Olympic games. However, in the past it was never so. During the early ancient Olympic Games, men were the sole competitors. Even then, married women were barred from attending, but prostitutes and virgins were permitted to spectate. Eventually women managed to create their own Olympic Games in 1000BC. Symbols of fertility and pomegranates were prizes at the Women’s Games, along with olive wreaths and a slice of sacrificial cow. At the men’s Ancient Olympic Games, however, women were often the prizes for competitors who were victorious in the Chariot races. MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES "The Olympic Games must be reserved for men" - Baron Pierre de Coubertin Despite the dawning of the modern Olympic Games in 1896, injustices to female athletes still remained. In a bid to create some form of equality, several female competitors took the matter into their own hands and competed in ‘unofficial’ events during the Olympic Games period. One such person was a poor Greek women named Stamati Revithi. More widely known as ‘Melpomene’, she was banned from competing in the men’s marathon event and, therefore, decided to run by herself the next day. Stamati was refused entry into the Olympic Stadium to complete the final lap and had to do so outside the stadium. While many saw her efforts as an amazing feat, the Olympic athletics officials saw it as a great misfortune and therefore labelled her ‘Melpomeme’ after the Greek muse of tragedy.
