Extractions: February 20, 2002 Olympic "Sports" I'm back after a long hiatus (resulting from a combination of weekend busy-ness and a network outage yesterday). Let the Cone of Silence be lifted! For a couple of days over at Iambe: Intimate and Interractive , the talk has been centered around the Olympics and what "sports" should or shoudn't be included in them. They pretty much beat that particular appaloosa into a bloody pulp, but I wanted to post my thoughts here for the record. Basically, I'm a bit pissed that a lot of these hobbies/activities/passtimes can even be remotely considered to be a sport. To my way of thinking, anything that is subjectively judged in ANY way isn't a sport, it's a pageant. This clearly eliminates ice dancing, synchro swimming, freestyle skating/skiing/snowboarding/nose-blowing/etc. In short, if the winner is determined by some person or persons who assign points based on their comparison of how well a competitor did this or that, then it's subjective judging and is not a sport. This doesn't eliminate sports with REFEREES. These people exist to make specific calls as to wheter or not this or that action is a violation of the rules. In essence, they make yes/no decisions and no more. Is there judgement involved? Certainly. But they're not ranking contenders according to some interpretation of style or form.

Extractions: September 08, 1998 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - The United States Olympic Committee's Executive Committee, in conjunction with the NCAA Conference Grants Committee, has approved six first-time or supplemental grants to aid NCAA conferences and associations with funding for Olympic sports. The grants are part of the USOC's $8 million, four-year pilot program which was begun last year. The total amount awarded from this year's grant totals more than $1.15 million and will aid five conferences or associations nationwide. The different entities receiving first-time or supplemental grants include the Eastern College Athletic Conference, the Eastern Wrestling League, the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation and the National Women's Collegiate Hockey Association, Of these five conferences, the first three (ECAC, EWL, MIAC) were among the initial recipients last June, when 13 grants involving 11 Olympic sports were awarded, totaling more than $5 million, and they had requested additional funding from the supplemental pool. This year's grants range from $45,000, for adding a women's hockey program at Bethel (Minn.) College to the MIAC, to $400,000 for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation to enhance the men's gymnastics programs in that group.

Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Table of Contents Fencing originated as the practice of swordsmanship to prepare men for duels and warfare. A fencing match is depicted on an Egyptian temple that dates to about 1190 B.C. and the ancient Babylonians, Greeks, Persians, and Romans all had some form of fencing. The use of armor during the Middle Ages made swordsmanship virtually obsolete. The broadsword was used against armor, but only as a crude hacking device requiring sheer strength rather than skill. By making armor obsolete, the development of firearms ironically brought swordplay back into prominence during the 15th century. Soldiers once again had to acquire some skill with the sword, and fencing also emerged as a pastime for gentlemen. Fencing masters organized guilds, which taught various moves to initiates while protecting them as trade secrets from outsiders. The swords of that period were rather heavy, and cutting the opponent with the edge was emphasized. Further, since the sword was frequently a weapon of defense against thieves, tactics included wrestling holds and tricks designed to disarm or immobilize the opponent to set him up for the killing blow. Fencing as an exercise based on speed and skill began when the longer, lighter rapier was developed in Italy during the 16th century. Because of the rapier's length, opponents had to fight at a distance and quick but controlled lunges, attacking the enemy with the point of the sword, replaced cruder hacking techniques. But the rapier wasn't a good defensive weapon, so the fencer often had to use his gauntleted left hand to parry his opponent's thrusts.

Extractions: Intro to Fencing Training Tips Fencing Sites Fencing FAQ ... Calendar When most Americans think of swordplay, the images that come to mind are either of the lumbering power of armor-clad knights battling with broadswords, or of the swashbuckling flair of Errol Flynn and other screen duelers of the '30s and '40s. In what it requires and how it is conducted, Olympic fencing resembles these two clichés about as much as the Olympic Opening Ceremonies resemble the ritual sacrifice of animals that once signalled the start of competition. The modern Olympic fencer trains for years, honing agility, quickness, and subtlety of movement. The sport has been described as "chess with muscles," suggesting that complicated strategy lies behind the thrusts and parries that punctuate a duel. Fencers of today employ a strange combination of archaic and modern customs; combatants still salute before a match and wear the traditional white uniforms and masks, but scoring is now determined by electronic padding worn by the combatants that registers when a hit takes place with flashing, color-coded lights. As suggested by the continuing power of the myths of swordfighting knights and adventurers, the fencing tradition is rich and storied. Like fellow Olympic sports archery and javelin, fencing has its roots in ancient combat. Around 1200 BC, the Egyptians began the custom of fencing for sport, as seen by images in decorative reliefs from that period depicting knobs on the end of weapons, earflaps and other protective garb. Sword craftsmanship evolved through the ages, from the short, wide swords favored by the Greeks and Romans to the heavy two-handed broadswords in vogue during the age of chivalry. After the advent of gunpowder and firearms, armor became obsolete and lighter swords gained popularity as the sidearm of choice for European officers and gentlemen.
