Modern Olympics
Archery , art, practice, or skill of using a bow and arrow for hunting, warfare, or as a sport.
The modern bow
Today, the bows used in archery fall into 3 categories:
The traditional Longbow The "Olympic Recurve" bow The Compound Bow The traditional long bow has changed little in hundreds of years. Traditionally made of Yew, but often made from a variety of woods. The Olympic Recurve is so called as it is the only type of bow that is used in olympic competition. Note how the limbs curve in an S shape. These bows are usually made of wood with fibreglass laminations, or carbon fibre and are either a solid "one piece" bow or have a seperate wooden or metal handle section (called the "riser") that the limbs bolt onto. Notice how, unlike the other two bows, the compound bow has a string (or cable)which travels around a number of pulleys or "cams". These cams are offset or "eccentric" and give a mechanical advantage that has the effect of reducing the amount of effort needed to pull the string back as the string is pulled back. The first few inches of pull may require 60 pounds of pull, but this weight falls away, to a fraction of the weight by the time the archer reaches full draw top Modern arrows (called shafts) are made from wood, fibreglass, aluminium or carbon fibre.

How The Olympic Games Began
Nearly 3,000 years of Olympic history
The Olympics first started nearly 3,000 years ago in Ancient Greece . The ancient Greek civilization enjoyed many sports—including running, boxing and wrestling—because they believed physical activity and competition were very important. Every Greek boy was expected to participate in sports , because the Greeks believed the skills they learned in sports would make them better warriors.
In honour of Zeus
The ancient Greeks also believed religion was very important. Zeus was their greatest god. The ancient Greeks built a shrine to honour Zeus in the Valley of Olympia. Greeks gathered at the shrine to play their favourite sports as part of their religious ceremonies.
In 776 B.C. the ancient Greeks first recorded the results from their sporting events held in honour of Zeus. Every four years after that these Games were held, and because they took place in the Valley of Olympia , they became known as the Olympic Games
Sports in ancient Greece
Sports in the ancient Games usually included:
  • Footracing Wrestling Chariot Racing Running Discus Long Jump Javelin Throwing
Gifts of gold
At the Games, olive wreaths were given to the winners. Winners became heroes in their hometowns, and

Potted History Some early history about women and the Olympics
  • Married women were barred from the Ancient Olympic Games but prostitutes or virgins were allowed to spectate. Kallipateria was the first female Olympic boxing coach in 440 BC. The first female Olympic champion was a Spartan princess called Kynisca, in 392 BC. She was also the first woman to become a champion horse trainer when her horses and chariot competed and won in the Ancient Olympic Games. Women had their own athletic games of Hera from about 1000 BC. Women were originally the prizes Ballooning, croquet and golf (1900) were once Olympic events in which women competed. Please see Statistics for more information. two Olympic sports in 1900 - tennis and golf. Sports historians now accept that women were involved in the yachting. Old programmes of the Paris Exposition show that women also participated in ballooning, croquet, equestrianism, golf, tennis and yachting. Bearing this in mind, we take the view that all women who took part in these sports were Olympians.

archery was introduced as an olympic sport at the Paris olympics of1900, but failed to appear again in the olympics for 52 years.
http://www3.chass.ncsu.edu/PA540/acdeyoun/history.html
When you pick up a bow and shoot your first arrow, keep in mind that you are participating in an activity that has been around for about twenty thousand years. Cave paintings in Europe depicting the bow and arrow have been dated, and found to be at least twenty thousand years old! Although in modern days archery is mostly a recreational sport, it used to be essential for the survival of humankind in many ancient cultures around the world. Different cultures made their bows and arrows in different ways, some ways being more successful than others. Ancient humans used their bows and arrows to take down prey from a distance, which gave them a measure of safety that didn't exist with the use of a spear or a knife. Bow and arrow designs reflected the materials available to the makers, and the way the bow was used. After being created as a hunting tool, the bow began to play a role in war. Bows were designed for use on horseback, and for shooting distant human targets. For example, short bows, though less powerful and accurate, were easier to manipulate from horseback, while the more accurate longbows were used to defend fortified areas from a distance. The Ancient Egyptians first established the bow an arrow as their weapon of choice at around 3500 B.C. Their bows were nearly as tall as they were, and they used flint and bronze to fashion their arrowheads. Even today, traditional archers practice the ancient art of flintknapping to fashion beautiful arrowheads of flint and other soft rocks and minerals.

web hosting domain names email addresses related sites Archery is one of the oldest arts of ancient times which is still practiced today. From its first development until the 1500s, the bow was man's constant companion and has been the most widely used of all weapons in recorded history. The bow allowed the prehistoric human to become the most efficient hunter on earth, providing him safety, food and raw materials such as bone, sinew and hide. From that time on, archery has played an important role in many of the world's civilizations. Starting with the reign of William the Conqueror, the bow was England's principal weapon of national defense for several centuries. Around the year 1200, Genghis Khan and his Mongol hordes conquered much of the known world employing short, powerful bows. For Native Americans, archery was the means of subsistence and existence during the days of English and later American colonization. Finally, after the bow's replacement by firearms as a weapon of war, archery became a favored sport, thus securing its continuous practice throughout history. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, archery's importance as a cultural advance ranks with the development of speed and the art of making fire. The use of the bow appears in folklore from over 3000 years ago, although its invention probably predatesthat era.

The Museum features a complete collection of Olympic torches used for both Summer and Winter Games. This collection is the only one of its kind in the world. The first Olympic torch relay was organised for the 1936 Games in Berlin. The tradition of the Olympic torch relay is still with us. To remind us of the important role of fire in both human and Olympic history, a flame burns constantly on the esplanade of this Museum.

THE TORCH OF MONTREAL 1976

It was at the Montreal 1976 Games that, for the first time in the history of the Games, technology played a role in the torch relay. The sacred Olympic Flame was electronically transmitted from Athens to Ottawa by satellite and from there it was transported by runners to Montreal. On this occasion the final igniting ceremony was performed by Sandra Henderson and Stephane Prefontaine, both 15 years old, who lit the big bowl together.

ROME MEDAL

The first time the medals were hung around the necks of the victors was at the Rome Olympics in 1960. On that occasion a chain made of laurel leaves was designed to suspend the medals on. Today, a coloured ribbon is often used.
