We saw it as a way to enhance the regatta,'' said Duncan Wheale, one of the founding organizers of the Augusta Rowing Club and the annual Regatta Fest.

http://www.streamon.net/boxing/history.htm

Extractions: What began as a sort of combat between Greek and Roman empires somewhere in the neighbourhood of 4000 BC has evolved into one of the most popular sports in the history of modern sport, practiced in nearly every country throughout the world. Records from Roman times allude to pugilistic games and festivals very brutal in nature as combatants fought often to their death, aided by the brutal use of metal studs and spikes. The revival of modern boxing began in England in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, boxing, particularly amateur boxing, is no longer brutal in nature as the sport adheres itself to the strictist of safety constraints, where utmost attention is paid to the safety of the boxer. Amateur boxing now uses gloves without spikes and contests are determined by the use of a computer, rather than by death.

Extractions: GIANT IS SHORT OF KILLER INSTINCT Top dog: Audley Harrison enjoys dishing out the punishment during his super-heavyweight Olympic semi-final against Italy's Paolo Vidoz. Photograph: Rick Bowmer IT MIGHT be a compliment to Audley Harrison, the Londoner who in the early hours of this morning fought for Britain's first boxing Olympic gold medal for 32 years, to suggest that he lacks the primeval instincts necessary for the real world of professional pugilism. But there were voices in his ear, authentic voices from entrepreneurs who manage the three-ring circus around Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson, suggesting obscene swags of money are there for the taking should Harrison say the word. Harrison, however, would have to put considerably more at risk than most heavyweight prizefighters. He is not a fugitive from the mean streets. He holds a degree from Brunel University in sports science and leisure management, and has a loquacious way of putting things. "I've got lots of different gears," Harrison said before stepping in against his gold-medal rival from Kazakhstan. "I study my opponents, and change my style to take advantage of their strengths and weaknesses. Basically, I figure out how to take them out in the nicest possible way." With due respect to the Khazakstani, Mukhtarkhan Dildabekov, who hails from the tough army school of a former Soviet state, the professionals would of course expect to make more of a westerner following the path of Muhammad Ali, Lewis and Holyfield and even the beast Tyson from Olympic glory to hyped up gore. They can spell his name in lights, for a start. And Harrison's perfectly weighted one-liners, his rainbow platted short curls are box office material.

http://www.klitschko.com/eng/ist_e.html

Extractions: It might be that for hundreds years people had used their fists just to resolve disputes before someone thought about an idea of organizing such fights for entertainment of others. There is an evidence of the fact that boxing existed in about the year 1500 BC on the Crete Island. The modern researches allow to insist that such duels had been known much earlier in Africa, particularly in the region of modern Ethiopia. The hieroglyphic scriptures dated back to the year 4000 BC revealed the popularity of this kind of sports throughout the Nile Plateau and all over the Egypt, after the latter had conquered Ethiopia. The enhancement of the Egyptian civilization through the Mediterranean region and the Middle East caused spreading out of boxing. In the year 686 BC boxing was so improved that it was included into the Olympic games program. However that time it was roughly alike a boxing bout we know it today. All fights were carried out on open plots, where the spectators were the "alive arena borders". The fight normally lasted until one of the opponents was physically unable to continue fighting. Although the first boxers primarily fought for fame, the winner was granted the gold, livestock or other trophies

Extractions: tenaya.cs.dartmouth.edu/olympic/anecdote/#truce [07/04/00] - Anecdotes on the Ancient Olympics It's a curious aspect of sports that even when they are part of a celebration of global peace, like the Olympics, they are nationalistic, competitive, violent, and potentially deadly. Substitute panhellenic for global and the same could be said about the ancient Olympics. Sports, in general, could be described as ritualized warfare where one power competes with another, where each hero (star athlete) strives to defeat a worthy opponent within a setting where death is unlikely.
