	2004 Summer Olympics - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Athens 2004 marked the first time since the 1996 Summer Olympics that all countries with a National Olympic Committee were in attendance.
		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.

		Fancy diving is believed to have begun in the 1600s as part of the gymnastics movement that was popular throughout Germany and Sweden.
		Fancy dives are classified into four basic types: (1) the "layout," (2) the "pike," (3) the "tuck," and (4) the "free style." In the layout or "straight" dive, the body must not be bent in any fashion.
		The judges' scores are multiplied by a coefficient that is determined by the degree of difficulty of the attempted dive.

		Although cliff diving dates back to the Ancient Olympic games, it was European gymnasts, practicing their routines over water at the beach in the early 1800s, that we can thank for inspiring one of the Olympics' most-watched events.

	Egypt in the 2004 Summer Olympics
		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.
