Birth and Demise of the Ancient Olympics No record is found as to when exactly the ancient Olympic games were first staged. The year 776 B.C. is often quoted as the first Games according to the known records, though anthropologists and archaeologists firmly believe that Olympic festivals took place long before then. The poet Homer claimed in one of his works that Pelops, the good of affluence, founded the Olympics in 1370 B.C. Another theory goes that Achilles staged an Olympic Games in 1250 B.C. in honor of Patroclus, one of his generals, after he had won the Trojan War. Still another belief is that the Olympics were events in which youths from nearby city states assembled periodically to observe religious services and then compete in sports, and that these events subsequently grew into a Pan Greek games. The largest of such religious services were those of Olympia which began in 776 B.C., of lsthmus in 588 B.C., of Pedieas in 582 B.C. and of Nemea in 573 B.C. According to a historian, Herodotus, the ancient Olympics were hosted first by the city state of Pisatan. Later, the hosting was turned over to both Elis and Sparta and then eventually solely to Elis. It is said that three months before an Olympiad, the king of Elis proclaimed that a "holy truce" in all of Greece to encourage participation in the games. In ancient Greece, many city states existed within the single Hellenistic cultural sphere. The spirit of harmony and peace that underlay the ancient Olympics meant that even battles between city states were halted in favor of sports competitions at least once every four years, and this was in an age of almost constant warring.

Boxing To be an Olympic boxer, an athlete must be between the ages of 17 and 32. Competitions are held in 12 weight divisions ranging from light flyweight (to 106 lbs., 51 kg) to super heavyweight (over 201 lbs., 91 kg). Scoring Competition News, History, Fast Facts All About Athletes ... More Sports Scoring Olympic-style boxing is vastly different than professional boxing. The scoring system in Olympic boxing awards one point to the fighter when he can connect with a punch and move away before his opponent can do the same. To count, a punch has to be delivered by the white part of the glove, which covers the knuckles. All legal blows are scored equally. Moves like pushing or pinning an opponent against the ropes, which are allowed in professional boxing, are not permitted in Olympic boxing. Competition Olympic boxing matches, or "bouts," consist of three three-minute rounds. Five judges score the bout individually. In the case of a tie, judges drop the highest and lowest scores. If the score is still tied, a five-member jury chooses the winner based on a combination of skill and style.

But, it is suspected that the games started 500 years earlier. So important were these contests that time was measured by the four-year interval between the Games; the term "Olympiad" describing this period. The Olympic Games were originally restricted to freeborn Greeks. The competitors, including those who came from the Greek colonies, were amateur in the sense that the only prize was a wreath or garland. In ancient times, four great games festivals were held in Greece: The Isthmians, The Nemeans, The Pythians and The Olympic Games. The Olympic Games in

CLASH OF THE TITANS With a circus-like atmosphere and the world's best set to compete, the 2003 Titan Games Rev Up 2004 Olympic Preparation DISCOUNTED TICKETS THROUGH USA BOXING TITAN GAMES SCHEDULE ESPN2 TO AIR TITAN GAMES The 2003 Titan Games will take us back to a simpler time; a competition stripped of such glamour sports as swimming, basketball and gymnastics, and focused on combative sports steeped in Olympic history and teeming with intriguing and flamboyant personalities. Add in a circus-like element of four simultaneous competitions plus the lure of the world's best, and what you have stuffed into the Event Center at San Jose State University is positively Titanesque. Played out over three days, Feb. 13-15, the Titan Games are Cupid's antithesis as there will be no love lost between combatants battling for over $80,000 in prize money and for the title of Ultimate Titan. The "Road To Athens" for America's elite boxers, fencers, shot putters, wrestlers, weightlifters and judo, taekwondo and karate athletes matches them up with the world's powers in each of these respective sports. The female titans of this event are sure to be a marquee attraction. Led by 2000 Olympic weightlifting bronze medalist Haworth, all but two (boxing and shot put) of the eight sports on display will have female competitors. Two women wrestlers will compete as well, and their Road to Athens is the sport's first as their event wasn't added to the Olympic program until after the 2000 Games in Sydney.
