Track and Field The basics of track and field, also called "athletics," are running, jumping, and throwing. The activities are also the basics of every sport ever devised. Running Jumps Throws Decathlon and Heptathlon ... More Sports Running Running competitions can be divided into seven groups. Dashes, also known as "sprints," are the shortest and swiftest running events. Middle-distance races range from 800 meters (874.9 yards) to 1500 meters (3 miles). The 10,000-meter (6.2 miles or 25 laps) race, a distance run, is the longest race run on a track in the Olympic Games. The most grueling distance run is the marathon. In relay races, four individuals run a lap, called a "leg," then pass a hollow tube, called a "baton," to a succeeding team member. In hurdling events, competitors clear a series of 10 barriers called "hurdles." Jumps There are four types of jumps in Olympic competition. High jumpers leap over a bar resting between two upright standards. Contestants are allowed three attempts to clear each height. In pole vaulting, the athlete attempts to clear a crossbar using a long flexible pole. In long jumping, the athlete jumps, attempting to cover the greatest possible distance. An athlete's goal in the triple jump is to leap the greatest distance possible in a series of three quick steps.

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.

95. The Events body. In the olympic Games running and wrestling were conducted separately,while the other three events were independent. Jason http://www.culture.gr/2/21/211/21107a/og/events.html

The Events The foot- race It is the oldest contest that took place in Olympia. Until the 13th Olympiad (728 B.C.) when the games lasted for only one day, it was the only event at the sanctuary. The athletes were running nude, in an area whose length was determined at 600 feet (192.27m), that is one Stade . It was this distance that gave its name to the area used for the performance of the event. These areas, the stadiums, were situated on hillsides or in small valleys, thus enabling the spectators to follow the events. Later and as the crowd of spectators grew, artificial slopes were built and the spectators sat on the ground. The stadium at Olympia had a capacity of 45,000 spectators. Only men were allowed to watch the games with the exception of the high priestess of Demeter Chamyne. The start and duration of the stadium race were specified by clear rules and there were set penalties for athletes who broke them. The rules were clear for all the events and for the duration of the games there were specific bodies, the Alytai, who kept the order in all the areas of performance. The judges and those in charge of the games were the Hellondikai, who at first were life members but then appointed by lot from the Elean citizens. There are no records of the achievements of the athletes during Archaic times as there were no means of the keeping of time. What was important was to be the first amongst the other athletes of the event, and receive the honour and the glory that followed such a distinction.

Year Group: 5/6 The Olympic Games were held every four years, at Olympia, to honour Zeus. Sport was seen as good training for being a soldier in war. Wars were sometimes stopped to allow the Olympic Games to take place. The flame of the Olympic Games comes from a torchlight relay, run after dark. Runners ran with a torchlight and the winners were the first team to light a fire on the altar to Zeus. Events consisted of wrestling, boxing, javelin, discus, long jump, running, running in armour, chariot-racing and horse racing.

The Olympic Games - Past and Present Let the games begin. The first Olympic Games ever recorded took place in Olympia, Greece, in 776 B.C. The Games became the greatest of all the Greek festivals and were held in honor of the Greek god Zeus . At first, the Games lasted only one day and consisted of a single running race. Eventually, the Games included several sports and lasted five days. The first day included worship, registration of athletes, and the taking of oaths by both competitors and officials. The next three days were mainly for competitions including various running races, wrestling, boxing, and pentathlon events. On the final day, prizes were given and thanksgiving sacrifices were made to the gods. The winner of each sport was crowned with a wreath made of olive branches. The real "prize" was instant popularity. Winners were idolized and became the subjects of many songs and stories. The athletes, and the Games in general, were immortalized through paintings, statues, decorative pottery, coins, and literature. The Games were held every four years. The four-year interval between them was called an

Lugdunum Stellar Crisis Services Stellar Crisis v3.2 - Software Release Notes Andy Graves - 28/2/2000 History At the date of release of v3.2 (March 4th 2000) there are five public servers running v3 or related code: Lugdunum and the Olympic Competition server - v3.01.5d. Stargate running v3.01.11. The Olympic Training server, running v3.01.25-beta - the immediate precursor to v3.2.0. Chamber Conflict running a cosmetically modified version that appears in all essentials to be v3.01.10. v3.01.5 has been running at Lugdunum for a year or more. Players who are accustomed to Lugdunum and want to understand the implications of the upgrade to v3.2 should read both Changes between v3.01.5 and v3.01.11 and Changes since v3.01.11 v3.01.11 has been running at Stargate for about 6 months, so players familiar with Stargate need only read Changes since v3.01.11 Players who have used the Olympic Training server recently will find that any differences between the code running there and the v3.2.0 release are purely cosmetic. A few of the changes introduced between v3.01.5 and v3.2 were fixes for bugs whose continued presence was considered to be seriously impeding fair play at Lugdunum, so those fixes were also retrofitted in isolation to the v3.01.5 code:
