  Sports: Track & Field--The 1928 Olympics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
But as The Globe and Mail reported on 8 August 1928, Those opposing the retention of the women's events in the Olympics were headed by a country whose women athletes won the present Olympic's women's track and field meet--Canada.
In the debate over whether to continue to include women in the Games, arguments against doing so suggested both historical appropriateness (women did not compete in the ancient Greek Olympics) and the continuing debate over whether or not physical competition was "injurious" to women.
The final vote favoured women's inclusion, with one exception: the 800-metre race for women was withdrawn, and was not reintroduced until 1960.

 English in Sports   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The use of English in the world of sports is understandable since the spread of international English is so great that it is normal to use English words in almost every single sport we know.
Skiing is a sport that was created as such by Norwegians, and even though it is not an English sport we have many nouns that come from English such as “slalom”, which turns into eslalon in Spanish.
When a new sport was brought to a particular country in the late 19th and early 20th century, the normal thing was not to create words or to find equivalents; it was easier to keep the original terms.

 platform tennis --  Encyclopædia Britannica
sport that is a combination of tennis and squash, devised in 1928 by American sports enthusiasts Fessenden Blanchard and James Cogswell at Scarsdale, N.Y. It is played on specially constructed platforms, 60 by 30 feet (18 by 9 m), surrounded by back and side walls of tightly strung wire netting 12 feet (3.7 m) high.
A platform is broadened as waves erode a notch at the base of the sea cliff, which causes overhanging rock to fall.
One of the fastest-moving indoor sports is table tennis, also known as Ping-Pong (an imitation of the sound made by the ball striking the table and hollow vellum battledores used in the early 1900s).

 Racial Differences in Sports
“Sports became a highly visible way to demonstrate to the world that Americans took their government’s pronouncements on freedom and equality to heart”, and universities were in the forefront of putting Negro athletes on the field to compete on equal terms with the white athletes.
In this regard, Harry Edwards argues that sports is a negative image that merely transfers the fl male from the cottonfields to the playing fields, and construes him as good for little else.
As University of the Pacific sociologist John Phillips argues, if we were to look at all the sports, and not just running and jumping ones, we would see that fls do not dominate, except in the high profile activities central to spectator sports.
