According to Chuck DeLaney, Dean of the world's largest photography school, "These tips will help you get great photos regardless of whether you are at an Olympic swim meet or your child's soccer game." 1. Fill the frame. Try to fill the frame with a player's body, rather than simply showing him or her as a distant speck. The type of picture you're looking for is a closeup action shot. A shot that fills the frame with just one or two players in the heat of a basketball game or a gymnast swinging from the parallel bars.

Aristotle describes a young man's ultimate physical beauty: "a body capable of enduring all efforts, either of the racecourse or of bodily strength...This is why the athletes in the pentathlon are most beautiful." (Aristotle, Rhetoric Boston 01.8020 Photograph courtesy of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston The ancient Greeks considered the rhythm and precision of an athlete throwing the discus as important as his strength. The discus was made of stone, iron, bronze, or lead, and was shaped like a flying saucer. Sizes varied, since the boys' division was not expected to throw the same weight as the mens'. Boston 98.876

Extractions: Storylines By Mitch Gelman and Adam Levine, CNNSI.com SYDNEY, Australia A pair of golden shoes and a national heroine took center stage at Olympic Stadium, and a veteran who couldn't jump higher than his competitors thought his way onto the medal stand. On a cold Sunday night during which a downpour created puddles on the track, Michael Johnson cruised 400 meters in his golden shoes to earn a place in Monday night's final. Cathy Freeman ran through the rain to win a spot in the women's 400 final. If she wins gold Monday night, don't be surprised if they name Olympic Stadium after her. While the high-profile runners drew the flashbulbs, the high jumpers faced off in what turned out to be part championship boxing match, part chess match.

Extractions: Running competitions can be divided into seven groups. Dashes, also known as "sprints," are the shortest and swiftest running events. Middle-distance races range from 800 meters (874.9 yards) to 1500 meters (3 miles). The 10,000-meter (6.2 miles or 25 laps) race, a distance run, is the longest race run on a track in the Olympic Games. The most grueling distance run is the marathon. In relay races, four individuals run a lap, called a "leg," then pass a hollow tube, called a "baton," to a succeeding team member. In hurdling events, competitors clear a series of 10 barriers called "hurdles." Jumps There are four types of jumps in Olympic competition. High jumpers leap over a bar resting between two upright standards. Contestants are allowed three attempts to clear each height. In pole vaulting, the athlete attempts to clear a crossbar using a long flexible pole. In long jumping, the athlete jumps, attempting to cover the greatest possible distance. An athlete's goal in the triple jump is to leap the greatest distance possible in a series of three quick steps.
