   Extractions: OLYMPIC HISTORY Lazlo Papp Boxing's safe place in the ancient Games failed to impress the fathers of the modern era, and pugilists were persona non grata in Athens in 1896 and in Paris in 1900, their sport deemed too dangerous to join the party. The Americans reintroduced boxing to the Olympic arena in 1904 as a demonstration sport and medals were first won in 1908 in London. Swedish law, during the Stockholm Games of 1912, and the First World War intervened and it was not until 1920 that boxing would find a permanent home at the Games. The 1990s were also dominated by Cuban boxers. Felix Savon, a heavyweight, is aiming for his third Olympic victory in a row in Sydney. Stevenson and Laszlo Papp, of Hungary, are the only boxing champions to win at three successive Games. However, two Cubans could match them in Sydney. Felix Savon is one, while the other, Ariel Hernandez, a middleweight, is not yet a certain entry. Cuban boxers have won 42 world championship titles but the United States remains top of the Olympic gold medal league, with 46 champions.

That aside, the sport has also produced some of the great names in Olympic history. The most famous of them is without doubt Cassius Clay. Clay won the light-heavyweight gold medal in 1960. But as Muhammad Ali, he went on to become regarded by many as the most admired and dominant sportsman of the 20th century and was three times the heavyweight champion of the world in the days when the title meant something. Ali’s contemporaries Joe Frazier and George Foreman were also gold medal winners. Frazier won his gold medal bout despite going into the fight with a broken hand, an ironic situation given that he had replaced Buster Mathis in the American team when Mathis broke his knuckle.

However, the sport didn't catch on in the United States until the late 1800s. Since that time, however, Americans have dominated the sport, capturing 47 of the 191 gold medals available. A decade and a half after being recognized in the U.S., boxing first appeared in the Modern Olympics at the 1904 Games in St. Louis, Mo. In recent years, the sport has reached out to females, who now compete in sanctioned amateur competition but do not yet compete in the Olympics. Among the now-famous professional boxers who started their careers in the amateur ranks are American gold-medal winners Muhammad Ali, Oscar De La Hoya, George Foreman, Leon and Michael Spinks, Floyd Patterson and Ray Leonard.

Mosaics and drawings from Middle Eastern civilizations and Pompeii show man swimming in a dog stroke. Greeks held swimming in a high regard as well, so much so that men of the ancient times often considered others less worthy if they could not run or swim. A man was considered uneducated by Plato if he could not swim. But it was an 1844 race in London, England that displayed swimming close to what we know today. Thanks to England's Swimming Society, several American Indians were brought over for the race and dominated the competition using windmill strokes resembling today's freestyle. Despite the Indians' advanced style, the English still relied on the breaststroke - the stroke mainly used by Captain Matthew Webb when he became the first to swim across the English Channel in 1875.

    Extractions: SYDNEY, Australia It's an oft-used headline Boxing's On the Ropes! but hardly anybody remembers it flying into print before even the first punch has been thrown. But the sport is so damaged that there's already talk this could be the last Olympics to feature the same program that produced Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard. About all it would take is one more outrageous decision, one more corrupted result, just another Roy Jones fiasco. That one continues to resonate because Jones, now regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, could not sway the hometown judges in Seoul's 1988 Games and lost one of the worst-scored fights in Olympic history. But there have been so many in Olympic boxing over the years that not even a high official from its governing body can promise the sport's continuation. Said AIBA vice president Arthur Tunstall recently: "A new IOC president could look at boxing being a controversial sport and put a proposal to his executive that boxing goes off. That is something we have to wait and see what happens and make sure the Sydney boxing program doesn't have any problems."

    Extractions: Audley Harrison ignored a serious hand injury to defeat Kazakhstan's Mukhtarkhan Dildabekov and take Britain's first Olympic boxing gold since 1968. Harrison took charge of the contest in the opening round and increased his advantage in every subesquent round, winning by a 30-16 point decision. But despite the convincing nature of his performance, it was revealed shortly before the bout that the 28-year-old Englishman was suffering from an injured knuckle in his left hand. But he was able to dominate the battle using his right jab and through a debilitating body attack which took its effect on the Kazakhstan fighter during the final round. Harrison started slowly and actually found himself two points down after the first minute of the contest.
