Visualization and Performance Hypnosis: The Kinesthetic Connection Dr. Keith A. Wilson TheWinningMind.com One of the more dramatic events in Olympic history happened in 1988. The springboard diver, Greg Louganis, was in his second Olympic diving competition where he was favored to repeat his gold medal winning performance of the previous Olympics. While doing a reverse two-and-a-half pike, Louganis hit his head on the springboard, opened a significant cut on his scalp and did a terrible dive. He had only a few minutes to get his head stitched back up and finish the competition in the preliminary round. If he could complete the preliminary round then he would have the chance to come back in the championship round and defend his gold medal. Louganis did, in fact, complete one of the more remarkable recoveries in Olympic history. He was able to dive again (the next dive was highest score of any dive in prelims for any diver) in a few minutes and finish the prelims. He was able to come back the next day and conquer the fears brought on by the disaster of hitting his head on the springboard. He was again able to win the gold medal in springboard diving. There are many reasons Louganis was able to overcome this obstacle of his head injury. One of the tools he credits is his ability to visualize his performance and create belief that he can dive at a high level of performance every time he is on the springboard. This visualization skill allowed him to forget the disaster of the past dive and focus on his ability to dive at the level he had trained for.

Tian Liang: Record Breaker At 21, Tian Liang took home Gold for China from the Sydney Olympics in the men's 10 metre platform diving. Tian Ling made Olympic history with a score of 101.52 points for a a single dive, the highest score for one dive ever recorded in the history of the Olympic diving competition. "I have been waiting to win this gold medal for four years," said Tian, who was ranked fifth in the same event at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. Tian, born in the city of Chongqing in central China in 1979, began regular training in diving at the age of seven. According to Xu Guilu, former coach of Tian at primary school, Tian was very quick to learn and hard working. He joined the national team in 1993. He has become the most important member of the national team since elder Olympic gold medallists Xiong Ni and Fu Mingxia retired after the Sydney Olympics.

Women in the Olympics - A Brief History National Policy History Sporting Attire Osteoporosis ... The Girl's Game - ABC Radio with Amanda Smith, 29 September 2000 Women have played an enormous role in painting the Olympic picture. Since Charlotte Cooper of Great Britain won gold in singles tennis at the 1900 Paris Olympics, many women have put their stamp on Olympic history. There are those who have dominated, like the great Dutch athlete Fanny Blankers-Koen who became the first woman to win four gold medals in a single Games, and Larissa Latynina of the Soviet Union, whose nine gold, five silver and four bronze over the course of three Olympiads remains a record for men and women. There are those who are renown for their "firsts" like Nadia Comanici who became the first Olympic gymnast male or female to score a perfect 10 in competition and American Joan Benoit who won the first women’s Olympic marathon in 1984. Women athletes in many countries have historically made a disproportionately high contribution to the medals count at the Games. This has certainly been true for Australia. In certain Olympic sports, particularly swimming and track and field, Australian women have been outstanding. For example in track and field up to and including Atlanta, since 1948 women have constituted just over 30% of the track and field team but have won 75% of all medals and 11 out of 14 gold medals.

Michigan in the Olympics 1996 - Atlanta World record holder Tom Dolan won the United State's first gold medal of the Atlanta Olympics by defeating 1992 silver medalist Eric Namesnik in the 400 individual medley. In a race the two fierce rivals had been pointing towards during three years of training at Canham Natatorium, Dolan overtook Namesnik in the final fifty meters to capture the gold by 0.35 seconds. Despite suffering allergies and a condition that sometimes severely restricted his breathing, Dolan was expected to medal in the 200 individual medley and the 400 meter freestyle as well. He failed to qualify for the finals in the 400 and finished seventh in the 200. He did come away from Atlanta with another honor, however; General Mills put him on the Wheaties box.. Eric Namesnik, Tom Malchow, Gustavo Borges U of M freshman Tom Malchow, the youngest member of the U.S. men's swimming team, finished second in the 200 meter butterfly. Brazil's Gustavo Borges, appearing in his second Olympics, again competed in five events and garnered a silver medal in the 200 meter freestyle and a bronze in the 100 meter freestyle. U of M junior John Piersma turned in career performances at the trials to make the U.S. team in the 200 and 400 meter freestyle events. He did not make the finals in either event but finished 4th in the 200 meter consolation round and won the 400 meter consolation. Piersma actually finished tenth, one spot ahead of Dolan, in the final standings for the 400 meter freestyle.

A History of Swimming When Flying Gull winged past Tobacco, swimming the length of a 130-foot pool in thirty seconds, Londoners were flabbergasted. The year was 1844, and swimming was already established as a popular competitive sport in England. But British athletes generally relied on the sedate breaststroke for traveling in the water, and were rather shocked at the exhibition staged by this group of North American Indians that had been invited to London by the Swimming Society in England. Totally un-European One observer found their swimming "totally un-European," declaring that the Indians "thrashed the water violently with their arms, like sails of a windmill, and beat downward with their feet, blowing with force and forming grotesque antics." Even though the style of Flying Gull and Tobacco was considerably faster, it was not copied, and British swimmers continued paddling along in their accustomed manner. It was not until some forty years later that the Indians' "totally un-European" style was reintroduced as the crawl: a stroke so rapid that it revolutionized competitive swimming.
