The Olympic Games ... nor any contest than the Olympian greater to sing. Pindar T he origin of the Olympic Games is linked with many myths referred to in ancient sources, but in the historic years their founder is said to be Oxylos whose descendant Ifitos later rejuvenated the games. According to tradition, the Olympic Games began in 776 B.C. when Ifitos made a treaty with Lycourgos the king and famous legislator of Sparta and Cleisthenes the king of Pissa. The text of the treaty was written on a disc and kept in the Heraion. In this treaty that was the decisive event for the developement of the sanctuary as a Panhellenic centre, the "sacred truce" was agreed. That is to say the ceasing of fighting in all of the Greek world for as long as the Olympic Games were on. As a reward for the victors, the cotinus, which was a wreath made from a branch of wild olive tree that was growing next to the opisthodomus of the temple of Zeus in the sacred Altis, was established after an order of the Delphic oracle.

18. About The Rainbow Olympic Games A twoday sporting event held annually in Richmond, Virginia for children and adolescents (ages 6-21) with medically diagnosed visual and/or physical disabilities. http://www.rainbowolympicgames.com/about.html

Our History: The Rainbow Olympic Games, formerly known as The Rainbow Games, was first organized in 1981 in Richmond Virginia by a group of physical and recreational therapists. The idea was to give young people with disabilities the challenge of athletic competition similar to their non-disabled peers. The Games were an immediate hit and have been a success each year since. In 1992, The Rainbow Games (as it was called then) became a non-profit organization, relying on contributions from businesses, organizations, and individuals to fund the Games and continue the tradition of offering eligible participants the opportunity to compete at no cost to them. OUR PRESENT: The Rainbow Olympic Games is a two-day sporting event held annually in Richmond Virginia for children and adolescents (ages 6-21) with medically diagnosed visual and/or physical disabilities. These children are not eligible to participate in the Special Olympics because they do not have any mental deficiencies. In order to ensure fair competition, all competitors are classified based on their level of disability. The 24th annual Games will be held March 20th and 21st, 2004. The first day of competition is held at the Arthur Ashe Center and involves the following track and field events: club throw/softball throw, shotput, standing long jump, modified bowling, wheelchair slalom, 60M race, 200M race, and 800M race. Swimming events are held on the second day at a local YMCA and include: 13M swim, 25 yard back stroke, freestyle events (25 yards, 50 yards, 100 yards), and a raft relay. Awards are given out at the end of each day based on the participant's performance within their age group and classification.
