Extractions: The modern Olympics has consisted of an eclectic and heady mix: archery and equestrian, track and field and swimming, wrestling and weightlifting. But where the Olympics' eclecticism was once a strength, today's version of diversity is its greatest flaw. While people often complain about the opening up of the Olympiad to professionals or the lavishing of vast inequities of attention, prestige, and money on different sports, the real problem is the inclusion of two (occasionally overlapping) categories: 1) Events, often high-profile, for which the Olympics is not that sport's premier competition. These are nothing more than gussied-up exhibitions. 2) Events that are called sports but really aren't. Call these the bogus or silly sports. The combination of the two does ruthless damage to the notion that the Olympics celebrates world-class contests of athletic excellence. Equally ridiculous are the bogus events. Everyone's favorite is synchronized swimming, which

Have students research their sport, finding a description of the sport and its country of origin. Students who chose the same sport may work in groups, deciding among themselves how the research should be divided. 3. Hang a world map on the wall. On the map, ask each student or group to label the country in which their sport originated, and describe the sport to their classmates. DEEPER DEPTHS

Extractions: HOME Background Current news World Class calendar ... News Archive What is the World Class Performance Programme and what does it mean for shooting? Richard Faulds took gold in Sydney Gold and silver medals for Richard Faulds and Ian Peel in Sydney meant that shooting sports earned Â£1.3m of Lottery money to support British prospects for the next Olympic Games in Athens 2004. But it's not a simple case of handing out money to our top rifle, pistol and clay target shooters and letting them get on with it. Lottery funding is hard-won and there are, rightly, strings attached. One of the conditions for this funding - for any sport, not just shooting - is that a proper programme has to be agreed to the Government's satisfaction to measure how the money is used to help achieve further Olympic success. UK Sport is the body responsible for distributing funds to shooting sports and ensuring that the money is used wisely. It liaises with the Great Britain Target Shooting Federation (GBTSF) - the body responsible for international shooting sports in the UK - which in turn appointed a Performance Director in January 2002 to meet UK Sport's requirements, develop the World Class Performance Programme (WCPP) and ensure that it stays on track. John Leighton-Dyson took up the challenge and has developed and implemented a thorough programme to draw out the best possible performances from the 15 talented shooters supported through the new scheme in the run-up to Athens 2004.

Extractions: This event isn't for slackers. It also helps if you're a morning person, too. Competition starts at 5:30 A.M. with a pistol shoot at a bull's-eye target 10 meters away. After that, there's the dueling and fencing for "first blood," where a single touch wins. Then it's on to the pool, where competitors swim a 200-meter sprint; stroke style is each competitor's choice. Without even taking time to dry off, competitors head to the equestrian arena where they each coax an unfamiliar horse around and over a course of fences. Then, after "resting" atop that horse for a bit, there's a final, two-mile cross-country run. The entire competition takes about 12 hours.

Beki Snyder Aims For The Sydney Olympics
Like many olympic sports equestrian, archery, badminton, fencing, judo,tae kwon do - competitive shooting isn't well known in this country.

Extractions: e-mail this story to a friend Beki Snyder aims for the Sydney Olympics Thousands of American boys and girls dream, at some time in their lives, of competing in the Olympics and wearing the red, white, and blue. For a very few, the idea isn't only to compete but to win. The Monitor is following one of these athletes who aspires to greatness, shooting-team candidate Beki Snyder of Fruita, Colo. First in a series. Douglas S. Looney Senior sports columnist of The Christian Science Monitor COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. It's late afternoon at the United States Olympic Training Center here, and all is quiet, finally, inside the $2.7 million shooting range. It's eerie for a place so alive with noise so much of the time to be silent. Beki Snyder is one of America's prime hopes to medal in shooting - 10-meter air pistol and 25-meter sport pistol - at the coming Olympics in Sydney, Australia, beginning Sept. 15. She's finished with practice, for now. She stares down at the targets and thinks back, when asked, on how it was when she first started competing about a decade ago. She admits that shooting is typically thought of as the province of males: "The boys were really friendly to me - until I started beating them."
