A History of the Olympics
According to legend, the ancient Olympic Games were founded by Heracles (the Roman Hercules), a son of Zeus. Yet the first Olympic Games for which we still have written records were held in 776 BCE (though it is generally believed that the Games had been going on for many years already). At this Olympic Games, a naked runner, Coroebus (a cook from Elis), won the sole event at the Olympics, the stade - a run of approximately 192 meters (210 yards). This made Coroebus the very first Olympic champion in history. The ancient Olympic Games grew and continued to be played every four years for nearly 1200 years. In 393 CE, the Roman emperor Theodosius I , a Christian, abolished the Games because of their pagan influences.

    OLYMPIC HISTORY Track and road cycling have been part of the Games since 1896. Over the years, events have come and gone, distances have been altered, from the one lap race last seen in 1908 to the 12-hour race which made its only appearance at those inaugural Games in Athens. In Sydney, three events will be added to the programme: the Madison, the Keirin and the Olympic sprint. One race that has stood the test of time is the 1,000m match sprint, though there is no result for 1908, when the race was declared void and officials refused to allow it to be rerun. Two of the British riders in the final, Bejamin Jones and Clarence Kingsbury, both suffered punctures and dropped out, while Marice Schilles, of France, and Victor Johnson, of Britain, raced for the line, the Frenchman just getting the edge. However, they were outside the time limit of 1min 45sec and Schilles remains one of the Olympic champions that never officially was. If there was an element of British fixing in that race in London, the fixing of the event in Berlin 1936 was somewhat more blatant: Toni Merkens, of Germany, it was agreed by judges, had deliberately swerved into the path of Arie van Vliet, of the Netherlands, and gone on to take the title. The Dutch protest was upheld but rather than disqualify Merkens and promote Van Vliet, officials fined Merkens DM100 (about £30 in today's money). Van Vliert was compensated with victory in the 1,000m time trial the next day. Merkens died soon after being wounded in action on the Russian front in the Second World War.

    History of Track Cycling The AIS Track Cycling program was formally opened on 25 February 1987 in Adelaide, South Australia to coincide with the appointment of David (Charlie) Walsh as the Australian Cycling Federation National Track Coach. This program was formed to prepare athletes for competition at the International level in Cycling and to produce the best results possible. To date, we have achieved incredible success with 94% of athletes that have attended the AIS, winning medals at Olympic Games, World Championships and Commonwealth Games.

    History of Road Cycling: Cycling has enjoyed resurgence in Australia due largely to the success of Australian cyclists overseas. In recent years Australian Professionals’ such as Phil Anderson, Neil Stephens, Robbie McEwen and Stuart O’Grady have enjoyed stage wins in the Worlds biggest cycle race, "Le Tour de France". Phil Anderson and Stuart O’Grady remain the only two Australians’ to ever wear the leaders yellow jersey. Technology advances are making considerable differences to the average speeds of cyclists. At the 1992 Olympic Games, Britain’s Chris Boardman won the 4000m Individual Pursuit on his new "high-tech" bike, using lightweight and aerodynamic materials produced by Formula One racing car manufacturer, Lotus. Commonly used materials in a bicycles structure are carbon-fibre, titanium and aluminium. There are many Cycling events but the 3 primary disciplines conducted at the Olympic Games are Track, Road and Mountain Bike. Both Track and Road Cycling are Commonwealth Games disciplines, however Mountain Bike is still yet to be introduced. Did you know?

    BUILDING PLANS
    International Institute for Sport
    and Olympic History
    Future spot for architect's drawing!
    The search is on. We have begun looking for land in central Pennsylvania to build a campus for the Institute. Our plan is described in more detail below. Eventually we anticipate that this campus will be one of the largest sports facilities in Pennsylvania.
    The IISOH effectively has two divisions the Library and the Museum. The Board of Directors are seeking benefactor(s) to endow each division with a $25 million donation. An endowment will also be sought for the theatre in the amount of $25 million. The benefactor(s) will then be offered the opportunity to name the Library, Museum or theatre, subject to the final approval of the Board of Directors.
    Go to the ENDOWMENTS page.

    Our plans are to construct facilities on a campus approximately 300 acres in size. This will allow us have room for expansion in the decades to come as we increase the endowment and add sports facilities to the educational program. Sports fields are desirable in order to teach through participation and play. If we have a baseball field we can teach the history of baseball by playing a game using 1860 rules for 3 innings, then playing by modern rules for 3 innings. In the basement of the Museum we could have a bowling alley from the 1800's where the pins have to be set by hand, and right next to it have a modern bowling alley that is fully automated. Our visitors can go bowling either way. Consider the possibilities for each and every sport this means a lot of space is needed.

    Cycling (18-22 Sept) The velodrome is part of the Athens Olympic Sports Complex, which also houses the main stadium and the tennis centre. It has been among the more controversial of the Olympic projects due to the ambitious nature of the structure's glass and steel roof. Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava is responsible for the design, as well as that of the much-delayed main stadium, and there was much relief when the velodrome roof was finally put in place at the end of March. Once completed, it will seat 5,000 spectators and host the Olympic and Paralympic track cycling events.
