Extractions: Runner earns bronze medal on world stage Special Olympics athlete cherishes trip to Ireland NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER To the shopping crowds at Camino Real Marketplace, Daniel Winslow is a familiar sight as he races around the parking lot rounding up shopping carts and picking up trash. The 27-year-old groundskeeper drew a bigger crowd in Ireland last month when he raced his way to a bronze medal in the half-marathon at the Special Olympics World Games. Even before that he was in the spotlight. In front of a crowd of 75,000 people from around the world, he ran with the torch into the Dublin stadium to signal the start of the games. Mr. Winslow was honored this week when Santa Barbara city officials issued a proclamation declaring Santa Barbara Special Olympics World Games Week. Now back on the job, the athlete had time to talk about the competition, which drew 7,000 athletes from around the world. "I expected to be first, but I finally achieved one of my biggest dreams," he said. He ran the 13.5-mile route "past planes and cows and horses and sheep" in 2 hours, 2 minutes and 44 seconds. The gold medalist pulled in about 18 minutes ahead of him. The race was on the last day of the games, June 28, which was thankfully cool, he said. His parents and sister were on hand to cheer him on to the finish.

Extractions: Olympic Factsheets History of the Ancient Olympics The first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC. They began as a religious festival, were held every four years and continued for a thousand years. They were held in a sacred, fertile valley of Ancient Greece at a place called Olympia. Athletes (derived from athlos, a contest) came to Olympia and trained full time for ten months. They had to undergo an examination by a ten member panel who assessed them on their parentage, character and physical endowments. As the games approached, thousands of spectators converged on Olympia, transforming the little village into a thriving metropolis. At the first games in 776 BC, until 724 BC, the only event held was the stadium-length foot race (stade). The length of the race was based on the legend that Hercules, the god of Physical Strength, ran this distance in one breath. The earliest recorded winner at the Olympics was Coroebus of Elis who won the 776 BC stade race. At later Olympiads the "diaulos" (400 yards) and then the "dolichos" (3.3 miles or 24 stadia) were added. Although there were no stop watches, legends grew as one runner was said to have outsped a hare and another to have beaten a horse. In 680 BC chariot racing appeared and proved to be one of the most exciting tests of the Olympic Games. The charioteers were professionals who raced over nine miles in the hippodrome. The winners, who lined up to receive the trophy, were the wealthy owners. Thus, though women were barred from competing at the Games, they were sometimes declared winners because they owned the horses and chariots. Although overshadowed by the chariot racing, the horse racing also provided a spectacle. The track was one lap of 600 yards, where the jockeys rode naked and bareback, without saddle or stirrups. The horses were virtually uncontrollable and there was a good deal of bumping between horses.

Payne spokesman Lee Echols confirmed the contents of the memo which included the proposal that Libyan IOC member Bashir Mohamed Attarabulsi receive free medical treatment at Emory University but said the suggestions in the note were merely "ideas." "Billy's a creative, ideas-oriented person," said Echols, who said Payne told him, "None of the ideas were ever seriously discussed. No one took the musings as anything but that musings. The collective good judgment of our (bid) team was all that we needed."

Extractions: My passion for collecting Izzy pins from the Atlanta Olympic Games began with this beautiful Oldenburg horse. He was foaled the day before the Opening Ceremonies, while his owner was in Atlanta for the Games. Oldenburgs are named using the first initial of their sire (in this case, Impuls). In keeping with tradition and to honor the Atlanta Games mascot, the horse was named Izzy. Three years ago, shortly after Izzy came to live on my farm in Catawissa, I was looking for something "Izzy" to give as a birthday gift. Searching on eBay, I noticed Izzy pins, bought one, and was hooked. One year and 700 pins later, I wrote to thank that eBay seller, John D. Gregor, for introducing me to the wonderful world of Izzy pin collecting. John had been the Pin Section Editor of the Official Pin Guide of the 1996 Olympic Games. He enjoyed my letter so much, he sent me this rare and coveted pin of Izzy reading the Pin Guide!

CNN - President Of Salt Lake Olympic Committee Resigns Amid Scandal - January 8,

Extractions: Web posted at: 12:45 p.m. EST (1745 GMT) In this story: SALT LAKE CITY (CNN) The president and vice president of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics resigned Friday in response to a burgeoning bribery scandal. Frank Joklik, president of the city's Olympic organizing committee, resigned but will stay on until a successor is named. He asked for and received the resignation of senior vice president Dave Johnson. Both officials were involved in Salt Lake's successful bid to host the Games. That effort has become the target of four investigations into hundreds of thousands of dollars that went into scholarships and gifts for International Olympic Committee members and their relatives. Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt was meeting with U.S. Olympic Committee members and SLOC's executive committee amid fears that the escalating scandal was jeopardizing fund-raising for the 2002 Winter Games, The Salt Lake Tribune reported Friday.
