Roddick opts for Olympic challenge
Story Tools OAKLAND, California World number one Andy Roddick will play in the Olympic tennis tournament for the United States this summer. "Athens 2004 we're definitely going," said Roddick's coach, Brad Gilbert, shrugging off fears that the the event is too close to his charge's defence of the U.S. Open title. Former world number one Lleyton Hewitt of Australia cited that reason for his withdrawal from the Olympics on Thursday.. The Olympic Games are scheduled for August 15-22, ending eight days before the start of the U.S. Open, where Roddick will defend his first major title. Roddick hired Gilbert, who previously coached Andre Agassi, after he suffered a first-round loss in the French Open this year. With Gilbert, Roddick reached the Wimbledon semifinals, won the U.S. Open and rose to No. 1 in the rankings. Gilbert, who spoke at an Oakland Athletics' fund-raiser in Calfornia, is enthusiastic about the Olympics.

History Of Volleyball http://www.Volleyball.ORG
    In 1995, the sport of Volleyball was 100 years old! The sport originated in the United States, and is now just achieving the type of popularity in the U.S. that it has received on a global basis, where it ranks behind only soccer among participation sports. Today there are more than 46 million Americans who play volleyball. There are 800 million players worldwide who play Volleyball at least once a week. In William G. Morgan, an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Mass., decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball to create a game for his classes of businessmen which would demand less physical contact than basketball. He created the game of Volleyball (at that time called mintonette). Morgan borrowed the net from tennis, and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the floor, just above the average man's head. During a demonstration game, someone remarked to Morgan that the players seemed to be volleying the ball back and forth over the net, and perhaps "volleyball" would be a more descriptive name for the sport. On July 7, 1896

After the 1924 Paris Games, tennis disappeared from the olympic menu due to theongoing dilemma of determining what divided amateur and professional play.
http://www.usoc.org/sports2/te/az_hist.html
T ruly international in participation and popularity, tennis is a game with roots in prehistoric times and drama and excitement which has appealed to fans in many different eras and cultures. Historians speculate that the origins of tennis date back to the Stone Age, when humans first used clubs to hit rocks back and forth over barricades of dirt and stone. They next trace the development of tennis to the variant of handball played in Greece, Rome, Egypt and elsewhere throughout the ancient world. But it was the French who first gave the game its modern shape, as well as its name: the word "tennis" derives from the French tenez, meaning "take it" or "play." According to legend, a wandering minstrel introduced the game to the royal court in France around the 10th century. By the 11th century, the game was played in monastic cloisters, either indoors, where a rope chord was stretched across a room to serve as the net, or outside, where a mound of dirt served to divide the playing court. Despite the efforts of elites such as Louis IV of France and various ecclesiastical authorities to ban the game, tennis had spread to the British Isles by the 14th century and within a hundred years was established as a royal game in England. Henry VII and Henry VIII were both enthusiasts, and sponsored the building of courts throughout the country. By 1500 or so, the tennis racket had evolved from the earlier all-wood model to a newer version with wooden handle and head strung with sheep gut. During the following century, tennis became the national game in France as Paris alone came to boast over 1,000 courts for play.

Tennis star hits peak when many begin downswing
By the time he was 3, Andre Agassi was already playing tennis. (CNN) At an age when most tennis pros begin to consider retirement, Andre Agassi didn't let a career slump keep him from becoming one of the world's top players again. Today, at 31, he's in better shape than ever. "I am moving better. I am fitter and I am bringing experience, so that allows for a pretty airtight package," Agassi said. Agassi's No. 1 ranking by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) is in sharp contrast to four years ago, when he had sunk into the worst losing streak of his career. Then married to actress Brooke Shields, he was earning millions of dollars in endorsements, but ironically his tennis game was off. He had dropped to his lowest ranking ever at 141, according to the ATP.

Thursday, July 13, 2000 PROFILE: Carol Montgomery Montgomery ready to make Canadian Olympic history
By DONNA SPENCER
Canadian Press
Carol Montgomery's heart has always been in running.
She may be a medal threat in the women's Olympic triathlon in Sydney, but it's her 10,000-metre race on the track 11 days later that really has her pumped. "I don't have much chance of making the 10,000 final as a runner, but that's what I'm looking forward to almost more so than the triathlon," said the 34-year-old, who will be the first Canadian to compete in two different sports at the same Olympics.

The victory ceremony for the 18th Tokyo Olympic Women Volley Ball Games.
The victorious Japanese team (front) defeated the Soviet team (back) in the ladies finals.
Under the urging of Kano Jigoro, a judo athlete, the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) was established in 1911. Two athletes were sent to participate at the Fifth Olympiad in Stockholm the following year. The first 2 Japanese to participate as members of a Japanese team were Mishima Yahiko, a sprinter, and Kanaguri Shiro, a long-distance runner. Though the next games were to be held in 1916, they were canceled due to World War I. By the 1920 Games at Antwerp, Japan had fielded a team of 15, and earned its first awards: a pair of silver medals in singles and doubles tennis. At the 1928 Games in Amsterdam, Japan took its first 2 gold medals, in track and field, and swimming. Athlete Hitomi Kinue became the first woman to join a Japanese Olympic contingent. She received a silver medal in the 800-meter event, and her success encouraged more women to take up competitive sports. A contingent of 131 members represented Japan at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles, including 16 women. Japanese athletes earned a total of 7 gold, 7 silver, and 4 bronze medals in track and field, swimming, equestrian events, and field hockey.
