Current Issue Abstracts

TOC - All Issues

Abstracts of Most Recent Issue of Journal of Olympic History Vol. 8, No. 2 From the Trenches to the Track, and Back (by Harry Gordon). pp. 7-10. Australian Olympic historian Harry Gordon discusses the many Olympic athletes who have fought for their nation during wartime. He begins with the story of Claude Smeal, an Australian soldier who ran the 1952 marathon. Further discussion centered on several British soldiers who honored themselves both on the battlefield and the Olympic arena. Gordon ends the article by discussing the relationship of Jesse Owens and Lutz Long, which began at the 1936 Olympics, and ended with the death of Long while fighting in North Africa during World War II. The Olympic Bribery Scandal (by Bill Mallon). pp. 11-27. This long article attempts to be the most complete, and accurate, summary of the events surrounding the Olympic Scandal of 1999. The article is based on primary documentary sources, including all the reports issued in 1999 that evaluated the status of the scandal. These included the Pound Report (IOC), the Mitchell Report (USOC), the Sheridan Report (Sydney), and the Salt Lake City Board of Ethics Report (Salt Lake City 2002). After discussion of the findings of the reports, the article focuses on the attempts at reform by the IOC, including the institution of the IOC 2000 Commission, the IOC Ethics Commission, and the numerous reforms enacted by the IOC at their 1999 Session held on 11-12 December in Lausanne.

OLYMPIC HISTORY Springboard diving was born at the 1908 Games for men and in 1912 a women's platform event was introduced, though it was not until 1920 that women took part in a springboard event. In those early days, the swallow dive, a straight plunge forward was the favoured leap. However, in the 1920s, pikes, tucks and twists became more common, resulting in dives involving somersaults. The British "Fancy Diving" team from 1908 Sweden and Germany dominated the sport in its infancy, while the US took the lead from the late 1920s to the 1980s, when China, today's masters took over as the world's greatest diving nation. Pat McCormick, of the US, won both women's titles in 1952 and 1956, the latter just eight months after becoming a mother. Her double double success was repeated by Greg Louganis, of the US, in 1984 and 1988. The accident in which he cracked his head on the highboard and had to receive stitches led to a tightening of safety measures after the diver revealed some time later that he had been carrying the HIV virus.

All these basic requirements help to build the confidence needed to start springboard diving for all ages. I have seen many beginning divers who are afraid of deep water and this alone makes them afraid to dive. How deep is the ocean or too deep for you? A 12 ft. deep pool is not that deep and, with a little instruction, your fears can be overcome.

The Ancient Olympic Games
The Olympic Games were celebrated 320 times every four years in the sacred stadium at Olympia, Greece, beginning in 776 B.C. Though boxing and wrestling were added later, the first Olympic event was a sprint. The prize was an olive leaf and deification by poets, as well as recognition as a hero forever.

History
Springboard diving was added in 1908 and platform diving in 1912, when the combined event was dropped. Women's platform diving was also added in 1912, followed by women's springboard diving in 1920. From 1912 through 1928, divers were ranked by ordinals; that is, the places assigned them by the judges. Thus, if there were three judges and a diver was ranked first by two and second by one, that diver's score would be 4 (1+1+2). A diver with a lower point score but higher ordinals could therefore win the gold medal. Since 1932, divers have been ranked by the total number of points for all their dives. The score for a dive is the score awarded by the judges, on a scale from to 6, multiplied by the dive's degree of difficulty. The degree of difficulty ranges from a low of 1.2 to a high of 3.6. The newest discipline, synchronized diving, became an Olympic event in 2000.

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.

  • Storylines By Albert Lin, CNNSI.com SYDNEY, Australia Upon winning two more golds at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Chinese diver Fu Mingxia decided to hang up her suit at the tender age of 18. Two years ago, however, she regained the itch and began her comeback. No longer the dominant diver in the world, she was still formidable. Entering Thursday night's three-meter springboard final, Fu trailed teammate Guo Jingjing by 8.4 points through five semifinal dives. Guo maintained her lead through the evening's first two attempts, then nearly surrendered it on the third when Fu nailed her back 2 1/2 somersault in a pike position. However, the New Zealand judge inexplicably gave her a 5.5, keeping her in second. Fu had momentum, though, and she passed Guo on her fourth dive of the final and ninth overall doing a reverse 2 1/2 somersault in a pike position to go up by 1.68 points.
