East Timor Team Makes Olympic Games History by Eva Titus 30 September 2000 A team of athletes from East Timor took part on September 15, 2000 in an opening ceremony for the first time in Olympic history, entering Stadium Australia just ahead of the host nation at the Sydney Games. The four team members competed as independent athletes at the Games as, although it gained independence from Indonesia in 2000, their homeland did not yet have an elected government or a national Olympic committee. The athletes two marathon runners, a boxer and a weightlifter danced with joy around the athletics track in white track suits, waving to all sides of the stadium. Their appearance marked only the second time that a team of independent athletes has taken part in the Olympic Games. A squad of Yugoslavs was the first in 1992. East Timor, a former Portuguese colony, was invaded by Indonesia in 1975. It was left in ruins by the Indonesian military and pro-Indonesian militias after voting for independence in August 1999.

Property and Real Estate in Greece Olympic Games - History HOME The Olympic Games 108 years after holding the first "Modern Olympics", the games are finally returning home to their birthplace; Athens will be holding the 2004 Olympics. The Olympic Games are probably the most important sporting event in the world, and for Greece, the 2004 Games will be even more special. The Olympic Games however, have a lot more to their history than the first of the modern games that took place in Athens in 1896. Brief History of the Olympics The first recorded Olympic Games took place in Olympia, in the beautiful region of Elias, in 776 BC. There is evidence however, to support the claim that the games had been taking place a lot earlier than 776 BC, but these were not as organised or held every four years, as the 776 BC games had been. The four-year gap between the games was called the Olympiad, and the Greeks based their calander on this time frame. Olympia - Home of the Ancient Olympics The name of each Olympiad was named after the competitor of the stadium race, which was the favourite of all the events. The first Olympiad was named Koroibos of Elias, as he was the winner of the stadium race in 776 BC.

How the Olympic Games began Thousands of years ago, people of ancient Greece believed the body was just as important as the mind. They participated in foot and chariot races and enjoyed boxing and wrestling. The year 776 B.C. was the date of the first recorded results in a sports competition held during a ceremony to honour Zeus, the Greek god. The Games were then held every four years in the Valley of Olympia – and thus became known as the Olympic Games. Since that time there has been a decline – and a rise – of the Olympic Games and spirit: In 393 AD, Roman Emperor, Theodosius I orders the Games to be closed down.

The Olympic Games In the ancient times, four great game festivals were held on Greek land: The Isthmians, The Nemeans, The Pythians and The Olympic Games. Part of a religious festival, the Olympic Games were held every four years at Olympia. The four year interval was called an Olympiad , and was the system upon which time in ancient Greek history was calculated. The games were so important that even wars were stopped at the time they were held. The first Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C. At first, only one race (the sprint) was run. Later, the discus and javelin throw, broad jumping and wrestling were added. The Olympic Games were held for more than 1,000 years. They were abolished by the Byzantine Emperor Theodosius in 394 A.D. The Games were revived in 1896 to promote understanding and friendship among nations. The first modern games were held in Athens, Greece. Young men and women come from all over the world to compete in various sports and represent their country. They live in an Olympic Village at the site of the games. The Olympic Games are organized and governed by the International Olympic Commitee (IOC). It sets the general program, chooses the city where the games are to be held, and determines the standards of amateurism. Each participating country has a National Olympic Commitee that is responsible for arranging the participation of the nation's athletes in the games.

Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search The Ancient Olympic Games Although the ancient Olympic games were first recorded in 776 BC, they originated at least a century before that and possibly as early as the 13th century BC. One Greek legend said that the great Herakles (Hercules, in the Roman form) won a race at Olympia, a plain in the small state of Elis, and then decreed that the race should be re-enacted every four years. Another said that Zeus himself had originated the festival after defeating Cronus for the sovereignty of heaven. The more likely story is that the Olympic festival was a local religious event until 884 BC, when Iphitus, the king of Elis, decided to turn it into a broader, pan-Hellenic festival. To accomplish that, he entered into a temporary truce with other rulers, allowing athletes and others to travel peacefully to Olympia while the festival was going on. The Greeks based their chronology on four-year periods called Olympiads, and the Olympic festival marked the beginning of each Olympiad. Evidently, the festival was reorganized in 776 BC, which was considered the start of the first Olympiad. The festival was basically a religious gathering to celebrate the gods worshipped in common by all Hellenes, primarily Zeus. There were three other major pan-Hellenic festivals, the Pythian, the Nemean, and the Isthmian, all of which included fairs, but the festival at Olympia became pre-eminent by 572 BC, when Elis and Sparta entered into an alliance under which Elis was in charge of the event itself while Sparta enforced the sacred truce.
