ANCIENT ORIGINS HUNT TURNS FROM FOOD TO MEDALS In the sphere of track and field, there are at least two events that precede the ancient Greeks and running races. The pole vault formed part of the ancient Irish Taliteann Games in 1829BC, the origins of the activity stemming from the use of poles to jump over streams. Wood was used up until the 19th century, when bamboo from Asia was deemed better for the purpose. The hammer, too, was thrown at the Taliteann Games. The most famous of all track and field events in history is, arguably, a road race; the marathon. Legend has it that the race was devised by the Greeks to commemorate Pheidippides, a soldier who ran 25 miles to bring home news of the Athenian victory over the Persians in the Battle of Marathon. Pheidippides ran, yelled out the great news and then dropped dead, so the story goes. In honour of the soldier who went the extra mile, the marathon of the ancient Games was run over 26 miles.

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.

Their pageantry, ritual, and tradition are beamed to billions via satellite, and every facet of their competition is not merely tinged with but ruled by modern technology. Yet the Olympics have their roots in a festival more ancient than the rites of Christianity, Islam, or Buddhism. Indeed if, as has often been suggested, the coliseums and stadiums our society has constructed in the twentieth century will ultimately be viewed as the cathedrals of our time, then the Olympic Games are our most sacred rite and Olympic champions our high priests. But the Olympics began in a time before satellites and television, a time before electronic timers, photo finishes, and computer rankings, a time when the greatest of gods was not sport, but Zeus.

Religion The Web Just H4K H4K Lesson Plans for Teachers Parents' Corner H4K Crafts and Projects Greek Games The Greeks took games of all kinds very seriously, but especially physical athletic competition. The Greeks believed that their gods particularly loved to see strong, fit, graceful human bodies, especially boys' and men's bodies. So one way to get on the good side of the gods was to exercise, to eat right , to oil your skin, to create a beautiful body that the gods would love. Because of the Greek tendency to turn everything into an agon , a competition, this also meant that there were a lot of athletic competitions in Greece. The most famous of these is the Olympic Games , but there were other games held in other places as well, like the Isthmian Games at Corinth. Young men (from richer families who didn't have to work) in most Greek cities spent a lot of their time training for these competitions, and the best of them were chosen to compete against the best young men from other cities. Then they would all meet, at the Olympic Games or the Isthmian Games or elsewhere, and compete for prizes and for the favor of the gods. Of course these games also served as good training for the army, because all these men would be soldiers as well. The events were the same kind as in the Olympics today: running, jumping, throwing a javelin, and throwing a discus. Only men could compete.

Back to Men's Marathon Trials Home The U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials: History And Trivia by Amby Burfoot The history of the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials closely parallels the history of marathon running in the U.S. The Trials have always been the race that every elite marathoner wanted to run, as it represented the only doorway into the Olympics. Over the years, the U.S. has used different Marathon Trials systems. The Trials were often at the Boston Marathon and/or the Yonkers Marathon. For a few years, the U.S. Olympic Marathon Team was chosen on a "points" basis from several qualifying marathons. Since 1968 the Marathon Trials have been awarded to a specific location, and the top three finishers made it to the Olympics (except for 2000). A brief history of the Marathon Trials. * The first U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials were held in Celtic Park, Long Island, on June 17, 1904, and won by 17-year-old Arthur Newton. At the Paris Olympics a month later, Newton ran 4:04:12 in 102-degree heat to finish 5th overall. At the 1904 St. Louis Olympics, Newton improved to third, winning an Olympic bronze medal in 3:47:33. * Johnny Hayes finished second in the next U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, held at the 1908 Boston Marathon, but then won the gold medal in the London Olympics of that summer.

The young American sprinter had completed her sport's most prized double, winning gold medals in both the 100 and 200 meters at the World Track and Field Championships in Paris last August. But instead of celebrating, White was trying to explain why she had tested positive for the banned stimulant modafinil, often used to treat narcolepsy. Dewy-eyed and with an audible catch in her throat, White revealed a hidden family history of the sleep disorder, which made this allegation of cheating particularly "harmful and hurtful." "I know that I did nothing wrong and sought no advantage over my competitors," she said. "I have never taken any substance to enhance my performance." advertisement placeAd(2,'newsweek.sponsor5/sponsor5')

Cast as a rank outsider in the nine-horse race for 2012 by the bookies, the Cuban capital struggles to come anywhere near to matching the financial muscle of its rivals. When Havana bid for the 2008 Games it did not even make the shortlist of candidate cities. Fidel Castro's communist regime is diplomatically isolated and its candidacy is likely to meet opposition from the United States. But Cuban Olympic Committee president Jose Ramon Fernandez argues that the country deserves to be awarded the Olympics for its sporting achievements.
