	2004 Summer Olympics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2004 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad, were held in Athens, Greece, over a period of 17 days from August 13 to August 29, 2004.
		Athens was chosen as the host city during the 106th IOC Session held in Lausanne in 05 September 1997, after surprisingly losing the bid to organize the 1996 Summer Olympics to Atlanta nearly seven years before, on 18 September 1990, during the 96th IOC Session in Tokyo.
		It was the first Olympics since NBC had merged with Vivendi Universal Entertainment; the merger, along with the acquisitions of the Bravo and Telemundo networks, made it possible for the network to broadcast over 1200 hours of coverage during the games, triple what was broadcast in the U.S. four years earlier.

	Diving (sport) - MSN Encarta
		Diving has been a human activity as long as swimming has been, from simple entries into the water to jumps for fun from natural high points such as cliffs and outcroppings.
		One notable Olympic performer was Sammy Lee, who won gold medals in men's platform in 1948 in London, England, and in 1952 in Helsinki, Finland.
		Judges consider factors such as the approach and the take-off; the similarity of height the divers reach during the dive; the coordinated timing of the movements during the flight; the similarity of the angles of the entries; the comparative distance from the board at entry; and the coordinated timing of the entries.

		The winter Olympics were begun in 1924 and were held in the same year as the summer games until the 1994 winter games in Lillehammer, Norway, when the alternating cycles began.
		The 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, reflected a changed political landscape: the 172 participating nations and territories included the Unified Team (with athletes from 12 former Soviet republics), a reunited Germany, and South Africa, which was allowed to compete for the first time since 1960.
		The Olympic games are competitions of individual athletes, not of nations, and the IOC does not keep national scores; however, the media of all nations report national standings according to one of two scoring systems.

	History of Diving
		Diving originated from people amusing themselves by jumping and diving from natural features (rocks and cliffs) or from structures built for other purposes (piers and bridges); early swimming and diving clubs were based on ponds.
		Diving involving gymnastic movements such as somersaults and/or twists was referred to as fancy diving.
		Prior to 1924 diving tables were extremely complicated; for example, a dive performed from a standing take-off had a higher degree of difficulty than that of the same dive performed with a running take-off.
