		Although boxing was considered too violent for inclusion at the first modern Olympics in 1896, it showed up as a demonstration sport in 1904 in St. Louis and then as a medal sport in 1908 in London.
		Boxing was omitted once again, however, in 1912 in Stockholm.
		Since the 1916 Berlin Games were never held due to World War I, boxing didn't permanently join the Olympic fold until 1920 in Antwerp.

		The Greeks held the first Olympic games in the year 776 BC (over 2700 years ago), and had only one event, a sprint (a short run that was called the "stade").

		Boxing's popularity had begun to wane, assaulted by the growth in popularity of other sports in the United States and the disappearance of prizefighting from network television.
		Those efforts have yet to bear Olympic fruit and this year's team is widely considered a gold medal long shot, yet Estrada went to the Pan Am Games last year and became the first American super heavyweight to win gold there by upsetting Cuban champion Michael Lopez Nunez by a wide margin, 14-6.
		Every four years, it seems, some major controversy emerges from the boxing venue and almost always it involves an American, as it did with Roy Jones in 1988 in Seoul, Eric Griffin in 1992 in Barcelona, and Floyd Mayweather in 1996 in Atlanta.

	Egypt in the 2004 Summer Olympics
		The original Olympics were held every four years for a span that lasted for almost eight centuries.
		In 2004, Egypt has high hopes for three medals, and in what seems like the spirit of this year's event, their best chance for a gold comes from the females, specifically Nahla Ramadan.
		At Minsk in May of 2004, Nahla was the biggest star in the field of 262 competitors in both men's and women's weightlifting, and so not surprisingly, even Sport's Illustrated has picked her for Gold in the Women's 75 kg (165 lbs) event at Athens.
