Have you watched the Olympics on TV or better yet been there to experience it live? Did you ever wondered why the Olympics started? I did! If you want to be on or go to the Olympics, I think you first need to know about it. Why did the games start? At the original Olympics what games did they play? Also what games do they play today? Now, get ready for the world of the Olympics. Have you ever wondered how the Olympics started? In Olympia, Greece the Olympic Games were held every four years. First Olympic game was recorded in 776 BC; that was about 3,000 years ago. At that time this great festival took place to honor the Greek gods. Olympics were held during the great festival. My resources say Olympics were held to please the various gods. One God, in particular, the most important was called Zeus. The Olympics were called Olympiad in Greece. Now we know where the games are held, but we dont know what games they played? In the first thirteen Olympic games, there was only one event and that was the sprint. The sprint event was about one hundred and eight meters in length. Then later Pentathlon was added and it had different events. There was discus, javelin, jumping, running, and wrestling. After a while, they added Equestrian events and that included chariot racing and riding. The Ancient Olympics did have lots of events. They had two major events Equestrian and Pentathlon events.

Medals by Nation History Fast Facts Host City: Athens, Greece Nations: 20 Athletes: 877 (870 male, 7 female) With his beloved Olympic movement in disarray, Baron de Coubertin felt the best way to restore it to health would be to return to Athens as soon as possible. Rome had been selected as the site for 1908 games, but Coubertin entered into a tentative agreement with the Greek government that Athens would host interim or "intercalated" games in 1906 and 1910, with the possibility that such games would be held every four years thereafter. The IOC as a whole wasn't particularly pleased with the idea, so Coubertin withheld formal sanctioning of the 1906 games. Despite that fact, however, and despite the fact that the program was cut back substantially from those of 1900 and 1904, more than 900 athletes from 20 countries competed in Athens. Among them was Virner Jarvinen, the first Finnish competitor. He won the Greek-style discus event and finished in the standard discus. He was welcomed home as a national hero, which inspired many young Finnish athletes to strive for future Olympic glory.

IVY HISTORY IN THE MODERN OLYMPICS IVY OLYMPIANS, 1896—PRESENT The designation, "Ivy League," is credited to Caswell Adams of the New York Tribune in 1937. The tag predates any formal agreement set by the league, but was immediately adopted by the press as a foreshadowing of an eastern football league which, at the time, was big news to everyone except the athletic directors involved. Athletes from Ivy universities have been an integral part of the Olympics since the first Summer Games of the modern era in Athens in 1896. That year, athletes from Harvard and Princeton, led by Robert Garrett Jr. (Princeton 1897), Thomas E. Burke (Harvard 1901), and Ellery H. Clark (Harvard 1896) dominated the inaugural event with 18 medals. In 1900, in Paris, Ivy athletes from Penn, Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Brown and Princeton took home even more Olympic metal: a total of 28 medals in track and field alone. This means that US athletes, along with those from developing nations, compete against well-paid athletes who are funded, trained and coached by their national federations. Yet even Ivy graduates no longer represent the well-to-do: over 50 percent receive financial aid in college.

Greek Olympics Ancient Times The Greeks invented Olympic athletic contests and held them in honor of their gods. But sports and competitions are part of the history and culture of many ancient civilization - including those of Meso- America. In Egypt there had been many findings and glyphs depicting sports events have been found. In ancient Egypt, acrobats, who displayed physical agility and strength, were mainly viewed as performers. Most Egyptian acrobats were women, and they performed alone or in groups. Young Egyptian boys also participated in acrobatics, and played games with hoops. There are 200 wrestling groups depicted on one wall of the tomb at Beni-Hassan. The wrestlers wear a loin-cloth similar to the cod-piece or loin-cloth of Minoan athletes. Although the scenes portray the various positions and "holds" involved in wrestling, the sport was practiced as part of Egyptian military training, and there is no evidence of organized competition. Ancient Egyptians also participated in various running activities. One of the kingdom's most important festivals was the "jubilee celebration," a festival first celebrated on the 30th anniversary of the reign of Amenophis III, and celebrated continuously in three-year intervals. In the "ritual run", an integral part of the celebration, the current king would run between two sets of three semicircles, the semicircles being cosmic references to the order of the universe. Unlike later Greek footraces, however, the Egyptian king ran alone, without a competitor. Physical evidence of the "ritual run" exists at the pyramid complex of King Djoser, where one can find the ruins of the world's first sports facility, complete with the running track for the "ritual run."

Lorne Loomer, Walter d'Hondt and Archie McKinnon had never rowed in a shell until nine months before the Olympics.

Click a link to read more about Categories Competition News, History, Fast Facts More Sports Categories Boats compete in two basic categories: sculling and sweep rowing. Both men's and women's races are rowed on a 2,000-meter course no matter what the event. In sweep rowing, two, four, or eight crewmembers sit facing the stern of the boat, each rower pulling one oar. In some of the pairs and fours events, the vessel is steered by a non-rowing "coxswain" (pronounced cox-n) who sits in the stern of the boat, facing the crew. The job of the coxswain is to steer the boat, decide tactics, and establish and maintain the speed and rhythm of the strokes of the rowers.

Club Information LMRC History Lake Merritt Rowing Club - By Meredith May and Robert Kidd Rowers have been competing on "Oakland's Crown Jewel" ever since civic leader Samuel Merritt dammed up an arm of the San Antonio Estuary in 1869 to create Lake Merritt. Homeowners who live along the lake built small, private boathouses and invited their friends and neighbors to see who was the better rower. An entrepreneur rented canoes and flatboats from the 12th Street Dam, and the occasional spontaneous sprint would draw a crowd of onlookers. At the turn of the century, Oaklanders embarked on a progressive City Beautiful movement, and approved $8 million in bonds for a new City Hall, Lakeside Park and a Municipal Boathouse at Lake Merritt. The new boathouse was built with the 1906 earthquake in mind. Constructed of reinforced concrete, it housed a pumping station for firefighters in the mid-section and the two wings were used to store canoes, sailboats and rowboats. The boats were available to the public, expanding lake access to others besides the wealthy lakeside homeowners. The upper floor of the East wing was a tea room for spectators. A year later, Oakland high schools began sending their students to Lake Merritt for physical fitness. It was common then to see young women in ankle-length white dresses, pulling themselves around the lake in wooden rowboats. Every year, crews of boys and girls hosted a Water Carnival, and decorated their boats with flowers to make them look like swans and dolphins.

Club Paddles Events BoatBuilding Education ... Home YCC/YPRC History The Yonkers Canoe Club was founded in 1886, and incorporated in 1888. John Reeves was the first Commodore. The first regatta was held Saturday, September 25, 1886, and consisted of four races; a singles event in bucktail, a singles event in deck canoe, a tandems event in deck canoe, and an event for sailing without centerboard. It was raced over a one and a half mile course. This was an era when, according to Alex Poletsky, sportwriter for the Herald Statesman in the 1970's: "…the river was literally filled kayacs (sp), canoes and other self-propelled racing vessels. Weekend outings along the Hudson were commonplace occurances…" The boat house was initially located at the Haberstraw site, on the top floor of a railroad company building just north of the present location. The first members were a mix of local Yonkers boys and older members of the Yonkers professional community. According to veteran member and Olympic gold medalist, Steve Lysak, the boat club eventually moved to its present day location in 1938. Executing a design by Architect H. Lansing Quick, a founder of the club, members moved the building plank by plank to it's present site, an unused Westchester County dump. Each member had to contribute a barrel filled with stones to create footings for the clubhouse.

Atlanta was selected in above Athens Belgrade Manchester Melbourne and Toronto. Athens had hoped to organise the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic Games . The IOC 's vote for Atlanta was therefore slightly surprising, however the feeling was that Athens' infrastructure could not be improved enough in time to successfully host the Games. It was regarded by some as one of the least successful of the modern games. The problem of traffic congestion sometimes made travel between venues difficult. There were complaints at how omnipresent the advertising was, with Coca-Cola especially being marketed on every available surface. Also during the games, the Centennial Olympic Park bombing took place on July 27, killing Alice Hawthorne and wounding 111 others, and causing the death of Melih Uzunyol by heart attack. In his closing speech, Juan Antonio Samaranch , head of the IOC, for the first time did not describe the games as being the "best ever".
