 SI.com - Sunday: Games facing new crisis over Iranian no-show - Sunday August 15, 2004 4:04AM
Meanwhile, in archery, it was history and not politics that took centre stage when the modern Olympics returned to their birthplace in Athens's Panathinaiko Stadium 108 years after the first Games were held at the classical marble amphitheatre.
Fotini Vavatsi of Greece was appropriately among the first archers to retrace the steps of the first modern Olympians.
But there were just a handful of fans at the stadium in sharp contrast to the scenes of national jubilation in 1896 when 100,000 Greeks greeted their marathon-winning hero Spiridon Louis.

American Jennifer Nichols and Ukraine's Tetyana Berezhna were the first two winners, defeating Indonesia's Rina Dewi Puspitasari and Greece's Fotini Vavatsi in side-by-side matches.
The narrow, horseshoe-shaped stadium - where the marathon will end - is one of Athens' most obvious links to its Olympic past, tracing its roots to about 330 B.C. before the marble structure was partially restored for the 1896 Games.
Despite losing, Vavatsi was upbeat about competing in the stadium known by most Greeks as the "Kalimarmaro," or good marble.
