Join Our Email List Dates: June 22- July 1, 2001 Where: Kingston and Newport, R.I. Welcome to the home page of third World Scholar-Athlete Games, a concept that is unique, yet dates back to the first modern Olympic Games of 1896! The 2001 Games were a huge success thanks to the efforts of hundreds of sponsors; approximately 1,000 volunteers, coaches, instructors and athletic trainers, and most importantly a great group of more than 2,000 participants from 151 countries and all 50 US states. Throughout the pages of this Web site you will find a great deal of information about the 2001 WSAG; including lists of our guest speakers and special events, schedules, a photo gallery, information on how to qualify as a participant for future Scholar Games and more.

Friday, June 22nd Monday, June 25th Tuesday, June 26th Wednesday, June 27th ... Thursday, June 28th The concept of the World Scholar-Athlete Games is derived from the tradition of the modern Olympic Games, but it seeks to add a new dimension. Those Games grew out of the belief that international sport could be a force for understanding and friendship among world athletes and, indirectly, among nations. The World Scholar-Athlete Games upholds that tradition while simultaneously celebrating scholarship, athletics and cultural growth. Conceived by the Institute for International Sport, the tremendous success of the 1993, 1997 and 2001 World Scholar-Athlete Games has proven that academics, athletics and culture can be a uniting force. During the 1993 and 1997 Games, approximately 3,500 young people from 158 different countries and all 50 US states joined together to share their talents, their thoughts and their dreams. They arrived as strangers, but left as friends with a shared understanding of their role as future world leaders.

But the Bulgarian weightlifting team will not be kicked out of the Games despite three positive drug tests recorded this week. The IOC is supporting the weightlifting federation and it is highly unlikely the sport will be pulled from future games. "The sport has shown genuine commitment to eradicating drugs and while they continue to do that we will support them," the IOC vice president Mr Dick Pound said. Seven weightlifters have now been caught for doping at the Games and three snared in out of competition testing.

"Global warming threatens future Winter Olympic Games because it is resulting in less snow, and shorter and warmer winters," said Jonathan Lash, WRI president, during a press conference held at Salt Lake City today. "Just as Salt Lake has done, we urge potential host cities to seriously consider the consequences of global warming in planning future Winter Olympic Games." Studies by the world's leading climate scientists, convened as the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), indicate that global warming is occurring now and "that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities." The warmest years this century have occurred since 1983. Surface temperatures are warmer this century than any other in the last 1000 years.

First April Show #511 This edition of U.S. Olympic Gold takes us back to the year 2000. The Olympic Games in Sydney had many moments that thrilled the world. We take you back to that time and feature four Americans who were surprising winners of Olympic Gold. Misty Hyman (Phoenix, AZ) has been swimming since she was six years old. Her first coach recognized early on that Misty had a definite affinity for the butterfly. Misty's road to Olympic success, however, was not without many difficulties. She struggled with asthma since childhood and then in 1998, FINA, the international swimming federation outlawed the way Misty swam the butterfly, using a unique sideways underwater kick. Misty adapted to the new rules and went on to win the Olympic Trials at 200M and was now set to face off against the reigning Madame Butterfly, Australia's Suzie O'Neill. U.S. Olympic Gold takes you back to that exciting race. With the debut of women's weightlifting at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, tiny Tara Nott (Stillwell, KS) became the first U.S. Athlete in 40 years to win an Olympic Gold Medal in the sport. Nott had initially won the silver medal, with the gold going to Bulgarian lifter Izabela Dragneva. Dragneva was later disqualified after failing a doping test. We check in with Tara to see how the gold medal changed her life and what her plans on for the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. Nancy Johnson (Downers Grove, IL) shot to success in Sydney, winning the first gold medal of the Games in the women's air rifle event. Nancy started shooting at the age of 15. In 1996 she made the U.S. Shooting team that went to the Olympic Games in Atlanta. After disappointing results, she refocused, setting her sights on hardware at the 2000 Olympic Games. Through years of physical training, mental conditioning and with the support of her coach and family, she achieved that goal. Nancy takes us through one of the keys to her winning strategy, a five step program that she follows as she prepares both mentally and physically for each shot.

Advertising Free Credit Report Free Psychics Advertisement Geography of the Olympic Games Dateline: 09/21/00 Although "over 200" countries are attending and participating in the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, there are only 192 true countries on earth. So how are there 200 or more Olympic participants? The International Olympic Committee (IOC) says it best Although most National Olympic Committees (NOCs) are from nations, the IOC also recognises independent territories, commonwealths, protectorates and geographical areas. Of the 192 countries on earth , three ( Kiribati Marshall Islands , and the Vatican City ) have no NOCs, which ensure that athletes from their respective nations attend the Olympic Games, so they won't be participating in Sydney. That results in 189 true countries with NOCs. Add to that the twelve territories, commonwealths, and protectorates that have NOCs and can thus participate in the Olympics: American Samoa (U.S.), Aruba (Netherlands), Bermuda (U.K.), British Virgin Islands (U.K.), Cayman Islands (U.K.), Cook Islands (New Zealand), Guam (U.S.), Hong Kong (China), Netherlands Antilles (Netherlands), Palestine, Puerto Rico (U.S.), and the Virgin Islands (U.S.).

Beder implies, wrongly, that Greenpeace's involvement in Sydney's Olympic Games is and has always been motivated by the desire for positive PR and, from that, increased donations. In fact, compared with most of our international campaigns, our Olympics work has received only marginal media attention and certainly brings in no significant funding. This is generally true for all of our solutions work internationally but makes it no less important to our environmental agenda. We were well aware of this going into the Olympics campaign back in 1993. Sadly, Beder's article included nothing about Greenpeace's Olympics campaign since 1995 and she only contacted Greenpeace after its publication, not before to check her facts or investigate the issue.

INV International Ltd. The Olympic Truce An ancient concept for the new millennium © IOC Olympia - Lausanne - Athens “May the Olympic Truce, inspired by the ancient Greek tradition of Ekecheiria, serve to promote dialogue, reconciliation and the search for durable solutions to all conflicts destroying peace around the world.” Mr. Juan Antonio Samaranch former President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) “The Olympic ideals closely resemble those of the United Nations in seeking peace and understanding among nations and people... I call upon all nations to observe the Olympic Truce. I am convinced that in this observance, and by working with the International Olympic Committee to promote the Olympic Ideal, we will draw the world’s attention to what humanity can achieve in the name of international understanding.” Mr. Kofi Annan Secretary General of the United Nations The Olympic Games: An eternal peace accord Modern Olympism was conceived by the French educator Pierre de Coubertin, on whose initiative the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was constituted on June 23rd, 1894 at the University of Sorbonne in Paris.

Sept. 15, 2000 A Reaffirmation of the Games' Timeless Spirit Peace and cultural exchange are as central to the ideal as athletics. The return in 2004 of the Olympic Games to their birthplace in Greece could well herald a new era in the appreciation of their ancient ideals. Together with the Games themselves, a series of planned events meant to be incorporated in all future Games is intended to project their significance as a catalyst for peace and understanding among nations. Chief among these innovations are the Cultural Olympiad, the Youth Festival and the International Olympic Truce Center. These concepts were among winning points in Greece's bid to host the Olympic Games. According to Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki, president of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games Organizing Committee, Greece is now called upon to give new value and dimension to those ideals, offered to the world by the ancient Greeks 2,500 years ago. Perhaps the most significant of the innovations is the International Olympic Truce Center, which is based on the ancient Olympian ideal of peace. In the ninth century B.C., a truce - or ekecheiria - was established after three kings signed a peace treaty that led to the widely recognized immunity of the sanctuary at Olympia (in the Peloponnese, southern Greece).

By Jane Weaver MSNBC Ask the Experts NBC Sports interactives Get Life Insurance eDiets Diet Center Yellow Pages Loan Center ... Shopping Indeed expectations for the Salt Lake games to restore the golden luster to the Olympics are high. CLAY TIMON Landor Associates To underscore the expectation that the Salt Lake Games will be a big hit with TV audiences, NBC, which is broadcasting the 17 day competition, has sold nearly all of the total $720 million of its available commercial time. (MSNBC is a Microsoft-NBC joint venture.) NBC executives reportedly expect the Winter games to bring in an estimated $75 million in profit for the network, about 25 percent more than two years ago in Sydney. At least 26 new Olympics advertisers will be joining the commercial line-up from Feb. 3-24, according to Jeff Lucas, vice president of Olympic sales for NBC. NBC, which plans to broadcast 375.5 hours of figure skating, snowboarding, hockey and other events, is estimating that 60 million people will tune into the games for at least a few minutes in primetime every night. Globally, billions of viewers are expected to watch some television coverage of the Olympics.
