SPORTS OLYMPIC SPORTS OF THE PAST ATHLETES OLYMPIC GAMES PASSION NEWS ... ORGANISATION O LYMPIC SPORTS OF THE PAST Sports no longer practised at the Olympic Games Tug-of-war Tug-of-war was on the Olympic programme in 1900, 1904, 1906 (Intercalated Games), 1908, 1912 and 1920. Tug-of-war was always contested as a part of the track and field athletics programme, although it is now considered a separate sport. The Olympic champions were as follows: 1900: a combined Swedish/Danish team; 1904: an American club team representing the Milwaukee Athletic Club; 1906: Germany/Switzerland; 1908: a British team from the City of London Police Club; 1912: Sweden; and 1920: Great Britain. Golf Golf has been on the Olympic programme twice, in 1900 and 1904. There were two golf events in 1900 - one for gentlemen and one for ladies. Golf is one of the world's most popular sports, being played in well over 100 nations world-wide. Golf also has a long history, as it origins can be traced back several centuries, and it has had organised international competitions since the mid-19th century. In the last decade golf has made entreaties to be returned to the Olympic programme. Rugby Rugby football is one of the earliest forms of football in which the ball is carried rather than kicked. It developed in Great Britain in the mid-19th century. Originally, rugby league was considered the professional sport and rugby union the amateur one, but in 1995 the International Rugby Board made rugby union an open sport, allowing professional competition. Rugby union football was held at the Olympics in 1900, 1908, 1920 and 1924.

AP SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Lloyd Ward, the new leader of the U.S. Olympic Committee, wants American athletes to win medals. It will be his job to win the "hearts and minds" of all Americans. It was a theme Ward kept hitting on Sunday during an hour-long meeting with reporters. His goal is to make Olympic issues and programs more visible in the daily lives of Americans. "I'm looking to move the Olympic movement from a small group of committed, powerful, passionate people to literally touching the lives of every American," said Ward, the first black to serve as USOC chief executive. Ward couldn't offer many specifics, saying he hasn't been on the job long enough. But give him time, he urged, and he'll figure things out.

Olympic Bulletin History Olympic Venues Olympic Sports Greece Today ... Information Discontinued Olympic sports Indoor Outdoor Discontinued Olympic Sports By D. Efstathiou Once upon a time many competitions that would today be considered "exotic" were eminently popular during the early days of the world's most celebrated sports event, although the intervening decades turned these once "in" Olympic competitions into today's "non" competitions. Tug of war, croquet, lacrosse, Jeu de Paume (similar to tennis), roque (similar to croquet), rackets, polo, cricket, rugby, pelota and motor boating are today only fond sports memories of pre-war Olympic Games. During the fledgling era of the modern Games, when the members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) did not wield the power they do today, host nations were in a position to either add or remove any sport or competitions from their Olympic programme. In later years, however, things gradually changed, as the IOC established a charter outlining strict and specific rules for the admission of new sports to the Olympic Games. The IOC charter today stipulates that sports incorporated into the Games must be widely practiced by men in at least 75 countries and four continents, and by women in at least 40 countries and three continents.

20. Rugby At The 1924 Olympics The American victory, which marked rugby s last appearance as an olympic sport,was a feat then, called by UP sports Editor Henry J. Farrell the brightest http://www.rugbyfootballhistory.com/olympics.htm

Rugby at the Olympics Introduced by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (who refereed the first ever French championship final), rugby was on the Olympic program at Paris in 1900, London in 1908, Antwerp in 1920, and Paris again in 1924. Shortly after the Paris Games, the International Olympic Committee cancelled rugby as an Olympic sport - even though rugby sold more tickets than the track and field events celebrated in the movie about the 1924 Olympics, "Chariots of Fire." In 1928 the I.O.C. turned down the request to stage rugby at the Amsterdam games. Three factors were believed to be behind this: the IOC wanted more emphasis on individual sports; women's athletics had swollen the number of competitors; and the sport did not receive the backing that it should have from the British entries. Officials also cited the French crowds' behavior and the lack of widespread international participation. Both the Soviet Union in 1980 and South Korea in 1988 made attempts to have rugby readmitted, and it should be pointed out that South Korea came desperately close to achieving their aim. In a resent survey held by the Washington Post Rugby was the most popular sport requested to be added to the Olympics so it's only a matter of time before it will be back. Probably in 7s or 10s format due to the condensed schedule required.
