World Freytag Award WCF history A short history of the World Curling Federation It is recorded that international curling events were staged in the 19th century in Europe and North America, but it was not until the first Winter Olympic Games at Chamonix in 1924 that any form of competition was identified. Great Britain defeated Sweden and France in a three-country demonstration of the sport. In 1932 at Lake Placid, curling again was listed as a demonstration sport at the Winter Olympics, and Canada was a winner over the United States in a two-country competition in which each country entered four teams. Another 25 years passed before a meeting was held in Edinburgh in 1957 to consider the formation of an international organisation which would be required in order to apply for Olympic medal status. No progress was documented, but two years later, in 1959, Scotland and Canada reached a major milestone by launching the Scotch Cup series between their national men's curling champions. Interest in other countries was generated, and the USA (1961), Sweden (1962), Norway and Switzerland (1964), France (1966) and Germany (1967) expanded the Scotch Cup entry. The 1959-67 results now are recognised in the curling history of the men's world championship.

Olympic Factsheets History of the Ancient Olympics The first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC. They began as a religious festival, were held every four years and continued for a thousand years. They were held in a sacred, fertile valley of Ancient Greece at a place called Olympia. Athletes (derived from athlos, a contest) came to Olympia and trained full time for ten months. They had to undergo an examination by a ten member panel who assessed them on their parentage, character and physical endowments. As the games approached, thousands of spectators converged on Olympia, transforming the little village into a thriving metropolis. At the first games in 776 BC, until 724 BC, the only event held was the stadium-length foot race (stade). The length of the race was based on the legend that Hercules, the god of Physical Strength, ran this distance in one breath. The earliest recorded winner at the Olympics was Coroebus of Elis who won the 776 BC stade race. At later Olympiads the "diaulos" (400 yards) and then the "dolichos" (3.3 miles or 24 stadia) were added. Although there were no stop watches, legends grew as one runner was said to have outsped a hare and another to have beaten a horse. In 680 BC chariot racing appeared and proved to be one of the most exciting tests of the Olympic Games. The charioteers were professionals who raced over nine miles in the hippodrome. The winners, who lined up to receive the trophy, were the wealthy owners. Thus, though women were barred from competing at the Games, they were sometimes declared winners because they owned the horses and chariots. Although overshadowed by the chariot racing, the horse racing also provided a spectacle. The track was one lap of 600 yards, where the jockeys rode naked and bareback, without saddle or stirrups. The horses were virtually uncontrollable and there was a good deal of bumping between horses.

SITE SEARCH Home The Olympic Movement Modern History Olympic Issues Date The first recorded Ancient Olympic Games were in 776BC. They lasted for approximately 1000 years. Place The Games were held in Olympia, a village in a sacred valley, approximately 500km south west of Mount Olympus. Purpose The Ancient Olympic Games were held as a religious, sporting and cultural festival in honour of Zeus, the father of the gods. Philosophy The Ancient Greeks believed that both the body and mind needed discipline and that those who practised this discipline could best honour Zeus. The Ancient Olympic Games These Games were held every four years Only Greek citizens were allowed to compete. Ancient Greece was divided into independent states, often at war with each other. During the Games there was an official truce, called Ekecheiria.. This meant athletes could travel safely to and from the Games. Violation of this truce was punishable by death. The Marathon The modern marathon is one event which originated in these Ancient Games. Legend has it that Miltiades, a Greek General with an Athenian army, fought and won a battle against the Persians. He called for an Athenian runner and asked him to carry the victorious news back to Athens. The runner's journey was 24 miles but he entered the streets of Athens and shouted 'Rejoice! We conquer!' He then dropped dead. Although the accuracy of this tale is questionable, the first Modern Olympic Games in 1896, included the marathon to commemorate this legend.

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.
