	rediff.com: Speedskater Witty wins Sydney cycling berth
		Olympic speedskater Chris Witty will have a chance to become the first American woman to win a medal in both the winter and summer Olympics after being officially placed on the U.S. cycling team for the Sydney Games, The Gazette newspaper reported.
		Witty won a disputed Olympic berth after rival cyclist Tammy Thomas was ruled ineligible because of a positive drug test in a surprising twist that eliminated the need for an arbitrator's decision, the Colorado Springs paper reported.
		However, the U.S. Olympic Committee informed USA Cycling late Thursday that Thomas was ineligible for the Olympic team because she tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone in a drug test at the trials on April 29 in Frisco, Texas.

	1896 Summer Olympics
		These were the first celebration of the Olympic Games since the recreation of the ancient Greek Olympics with the founding of the International Olympic Committee in 1894.
		This is remarkable, as the Olympics did not, for a long time, allow professional athletes to compete, with the sole exception of fencing.
		The weightlifting contests are also conducted in the Olympic stadium, with Launceston Elliot of Great Britain and Viggo Jensen of Denmark taking a first and a second place each in the single-hand and double-hand contests.

	Olympics: Summer fling leaves medal hopes on thin ice
		Australian time, she had set an Olympic record in the 500 meter time trial and had the time to beat with 13 competitors to follow.
		Although she began cycling 10 years ago as a way to cross-train for skating, she has devoted a fraction of the time normally needed to be an elite rider.
		She was an alternate on the cycling team in Atlanta in 1996, but felt burned out by the time she began preparing for Nagano.

	Athens Olympics 2004. ABC Sport.
		But while every Olympic city has a fabulous stadium, nowhere else in the world could events be held at Ancient Olympia - the home of the ancient Games - and the magnificent Panathinaiko Stadium, home of the first Games of the modern era back in 1896.
		Russia was third (27, 27, 38, 92) and Australia hung on to fourth place - the same as Sydney in 2000 - with 17 gold medals, 16 silver and 16 bronze for a total of 49 - nine shy of the record 58, won four years ago.
		Through the prism of history, the Athens Olympics may come to be seen as the Games at which two major trends emerged - the rise of Asian nations as Olympic powers and the time the war on drugs became serious.

		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").
		For each Olympics, a new flame is started in the ancient Olympic stadium in Olympia, Elis, Greece, using a parabolic mirror to focus the rays of the Sun.
		The events in the Summer Olympics include: archery, badminton, baseball, basketball, boxing, canoeing, cycling, diving, equestrian, fencing, football (soccer), gymnastics, handball, hockey, judo, kayaking, marathon, pentathlon, ping pong, rowing, sailing, shooting, swimming, taekwando, tennis, track and field (many running, jumping, and throwing events), triathlon, volleyball, water polo, weightlifting, wrestling (freestyle and Greco-Roman).

	Cycling: Witty barely misses medal
		Her time, 35.230 seconds, was a personal best by about a quarter of a second and, because the 500-meter time trial was being contested in the Olympics for the first time, briefly an Olympic record.
		She isn't exactly current on the latest cycling developments; she went into the event with absolutely no idea what time she needed to put herself in medal contention because she didn't know what the other riders could do.
		That Witty was named to the Olympic cycling team despite finishing second at the Olympic trials (her fourth-place finish at the 1998 world championships and international potential were the deciding factors) irritated the first-place finisher.
