	Sports: Debriefing - Keys
		Soviet success in creating a world-class sport system within a few short years after the devastation wrought by World War II is even more remarkable considering how little of a base had existed even before the war.
		International sporting competitions had been organized as early as the late 19th century, but they began to take on increasing significance after World War I. When two national teams met on the soccer field, event was no longer simply a test of skill among a handful of athletes.
		Sport was supposed to serve the aims of the state: by channeling leisure time into socially useful activities, by increasing the health and fitness of the population and thereby creating more productive workers and better soldiers, and by winning prestige for the Communist system.

	IAAF International Association of Athletics Federations - IAAF.org - Inside IAAF - History
		The International Amateur Athletic Federation was founded in 1912 by 17 national athletic federations who saw the need for a governing authority, for an athletic programme, for standardised technical equipment and world records.
		The IAAF has subsequently led the sports movement worldwide in the development and application of an extensive anti-doping programme involving testing both in and out of competition.
		This move towards a more professional sport was particularly recognised in 2001, when the IAAF Congress voted unanimously for the organisation's name to be changed to the International Association of Athletics Federations.

		The 1912 Games were the largest yet and were also the first games to enjoy major attention from the world's media, with events making front-page headlines in U.S. newspapers.
		In an effort to improve competitive standards, a number of sports were cut from the 1908 games, which, judging by the amount of new world records established, was a visionary move.
		Boxing was also supposed to be a part of the program, but the sport was illegal in Sweden and was left off the Olympic slate.

		Finally, in October 1982 Thorpe, the man who had been voted in 1950 as the greatest athlete of the first half-century, was pardoned by the IOC and the medals presented to his family.

	Sports Deep Background: Book Highlights
		Sport in a socialist country is a state concern, and is structured according to the principles of amateurism.
		Stockholm, the host city in 1912, liked the amiable, well-spoken Russian contingent, but Marxist-Leninist historians were quick to point out that it was all blue blood.
		So the U-turn in sports policy - its angles actually slightly softened by participation in a few international events during the five years preceding 1952 - fit the Soviet pattern of restoring pre-revolutionary goals and practices, even some of the most hated, when it was expedient.

	BYRON NELSON: 1912-2006 / Golf loses a legend and a gentleman
		His Hall of Fame biography notes that Nelson developed the basis for the modern golf swing by using his hips and legs to drive the ball with the steel-shafted clubs that were replacing hickory clubs and for the manner in which he turned his shoulders and flexed his knees during his downswing.

	amateur - Information from Reference.com
		By the beginning of the 20th cent., leaders of two major sports movements, the American intercollegiate athletic system and the Olympic Games (revived in 1896), had adopted amateurism, claiming it developed competitors who were morally superior to professionals.
		As evidenced by the return of Thorpe's medals in 1982, amateurism by the 1990s was a concept of diminished importance and one more of technical than moral distinction.
		For example, amateur athletes in sports such as basketball or football are not regarded as having the same level of ability professional athletes.

		This incredible publicity is expected to cause an explosion of female interest in soccer--already the most popular sport among college-age females, according to a recent study by the National College Athletic Association.
