    Profile of the ancient Olympic games. The Olympic games were religious events honoring Zeus at Olympia, which, over time, became more strictly athletic competitions.

Gill , About.com Guide Discus Thrower at the British Museum - Photo by Alun Salt at Flickr Alun Salt zSB(3,3) Like so much of ancient history, the origins of the Olympic Games are shrouded in myth and legend (see: Games, Rituals, and Warfare ). The Greeks dated events from the first Olympiad in in 776 B.C. two decades before the legendary founding of Rome. In A.D. 391 the Emperor Theodosius ended the games. The Ancient Greeks held the Olympics every 4 years. This 4-year period was known as an "Olympiad" and was used as a reference point for dating events throughout Greece. The Greek poleis (city-states) had their own calendars, so the Olympiad provided a measure of uniformity. Olympia, a district of Elis, in Southern Greece [see Bb on the map], gave its name to the Olympic games.

Grab a Poptart or a McTwist and Tune in to Olympic Snowboarding Snowboarding, which combines elements of surfing, skateboarding and skiing, originated in the United States in the 1960s. The exciting, brash sport gained international popularity over the next few decades, making its debut as an Olympic sport in 1998 at the Nagano Games, which featured both halfpipe and giant slalom events. The giant slalom was replaced four years later in Salt Lake with the exciting parallel giant slalom. Snowboarding competition in Torino will consist of men's and women's halfpipe, parallel giant slalom and snowboard cross. The halfpipe is an acrobatic event held in a half-cylinder-shaped course dug into the hill. Using speed gained on the slope, snowboarders sail over the rim of the pipe and perform aerial maneuvers – such as the Poptart and the McTwist.

91. ABC Online News - Sports: Modern Pentathlon
    History of Modern Pentathlon and results of Australian pentathletes in Olympic Games.  
    http://www.abc.net.au/news/olympics/sports/pentathlon.htm
    
    Extractions: Modern pentathlon The pentathlon, whether modern or ancient, has always been designed as a soldiers’ event. It was introduced to the ancient Olympics in the eighth century BC after the Spartans complained that too many Olympic events favoured civilians and did nothing to reward the skills of the warrior. In those days the sport was an elimination event featuring five disciplines: discus, spear throwing, long jump, running and wrestling. The idea was that weaker competitors were progressively eliminated until just two remained to wrestle for the title. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the Modern Olympics, obviously liked the idea and was keen to incorporate a similar event in the Games.

Visit our Olympic Games Stuff Links to find cool Olympic gear About Olympic Ski Jumping Ski jumping originated in the 1860's when the father of the sport, Norway's Sondre Norheim, jumped 30 meters over a rock without the benefit of poles. His record stood for three decades. In the first winter Olympics, Thulin Thams introduced a new technique, the Kongsberger, which led to jumps of more than 100 meters and a gold medal for Thams. Style has evolved into the current mode of holding the skis in a V shape during flight, a technique which enabled Austrian Andreas Goldberger to become the first person to break the 200-meter mark in 1994. Regulations require that skiers' equipment conform to very specific standards, some based on the height of the athlete. Skis may have a maximum length of 146% of the total body height of the competitor. The binding must be mounted parallel to the run-direction and must be placed so that a maximum 57% of the entire ski length may be used as the front part.
