Extractions: History The idea for a rowing race between the universities came from two friends - Charles Merival, a student at Cambridge, and his Harrow schoolfriend Charles Wordsworth (nephew of the poet William Wordsworth), who was at Oxford. On 12 March 1829, Cambridge sent a challenge to Oxford and thus the tradition was born which has continued to the present day, where the loser of the previous year's race challenges the opposition to a re-match. The first Boat Race took place at Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire and contemporary newspapers report crowds of twenty thousand travelled to watch. The race was stopped soon after the start and, following the restart, Oxford were clear winners. The event was such a resounding success that the townspeople later decided to organise a regatta of their own which duly became Henley Royal Regatta. After the first year, the early Boat Races took place at Westminster in London, but by 1845, when Westminster had become too crowded, the Boat Race moved six miles up-stream to the then country village of Putney.

Extractions: Tacoma, WA 98444 (253) 798-4000 HISTORY The $2.5 million Sprinker Recreation Center was dedicated on July 16, 1976 when the doors of the 74,500 square foot facility opened to the public with ceremonies and an open house. That dedication added a regulation ice arena, 4 indoor tennis courts, 5 racquetball/handball courts, 5 multi-purpose rooms for classes and activities, and a fully-equipped pottery room (which is no longer there) to the 30 acre outdoor complex that previously opened in June of 1969. Sprinker Recreation Center 1976 The outdoor facility boasts a huge variety of amenities including 8 softball fields, 1 baseball field, 6 football/soccer fields, 6 tennis courts, 4 pickleball courts, 8 horseshoe pits, and an all-weather 1/4 mile track. Spire Rock, one of the first such climbing facilities in the state, was later added. Automatic batting cages were added in 1983. Sprinker has always striven to provide the best and latest recreational opportunities for the public by hosting graduation parties, carnivals, district and state high school athletic championships, and state and regional slowpitch tournaments, to name a few.

Extractions: Due to the big equipment performance differences found in other windsurfing classes Olympic Class Boardsailing is possibly the most pure type of athletic sail racing in the world - a real Olympic sport. Sadly, it is and possibly always will be little understood. Like all small craft sailing classes, the best informed spectators are the competitors. It has taken twenty years of two steps forward and one back for Olympic Boardsailing to get to the level it is now. As a consequence of the Olympic Boardsailing Class's current achievements, governments are allocating a lot of funding towards growing the sport. The current Olympic Class is a great asset to the sport of windsurfing. Let's look after it and keep the current Olympic Class for at least another Olympiad.
Extractions: OLYMPIC HISTORY Shooting had a friend in the highest of places when the Modern Olympic Games opened in Athens in 1896. None other, in fact, than Pierre de Coubertin, who was a pistol shooting champion for France. The first president of the International Olympic Committee introduced four pistol and two rifle events at the first modern Olympiad. The sport has featured at all bar two Games since, St Louis in 1904 and Amsterdam in 1928 not having staged shooting events. His record-breaking did not stop there, however, and over two days at the Stockholm Games of 1912 he established two more Olympic milestones which have stood the test of time. First, he became the oldest medal winner in an individual event, by taking the bronze in the Running Deer, double-shot at the age of 64 years and 256 days; then, he became the oldest ever gold medal winner when triumphant as a member of the Swedish Running Deer, single-shot team at the age of 64 years 257 days.
Judo Book Review - Olympic Judo, History And Techniques book sets out to provide a complete history of olympic judo came to be included inthe olympic programme, is the main contests and list the medallists in every http://www.bestjudo.com/brolympicjudo.shtml
Extractions: This surprising book has an absolute wealth of data on Olympic Judo from 1964 to 1988. The photos are first rate, with many excellent examples of dynamic Judo being shown. Each chapter covers a different Olympic year... with detailed coverage of the more interesting matches. Who was favored, and why... what the upsets were, and reasons for various rule changes down through the years. In the appendix, it gives the results of each and every match. This book is historically valuable. I think that it is out-of-print, but as it's fairly recent, you should still be able to find a copy at a low price. For those interested in the historical development of Olympic Judo, and how it changed Judo worldwide, this book would be invaluable. Get it! Many people contributed to this book. Some helped with written material, some with memories and some even with demonstrations. Tony Sweeney (The Budokwai), Syd Hoare (London Judo Society), George Kerr (The Edinburgh Club), John Cornish (The Budokwai), Colin McIver (Scottish Judo Federation) and Charles Palmer (President of the British Judo Association) all helped with verbal and written material.
