	Olympia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Olympia is the birth-place of the Olympic Games and also where they were held.
		The valley amongst the two rivers was in ancient times full of wild olive trees, poplars, oaks, pines and plane trees and it was these trees that gave the centre of the sanctuary the name Altis, meaning alsos (grove).
		On the stadium's southern slope there was a stone platform which was for the Hellanodikes (the judges) and opposite was the altar to Demeter Chamyne.

		The first event at Olympia was a rodeo, but a fight 11 days after it opened brought in the first huge crowd.
		Drew Snider writes: Before TV coverage of hockey was an almost-every-day thing, I heard a recurring complaint about the Olympia about the shape of its end boards (one observer remarked: "the boards are egg-shaped and made of elastic").
		By the way, the tribute to the Olympia you have at the website put me in mind of an interview I did on a sports-talk show a couple of years ago.

	Athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics - Women's Discus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Discus throw at the 2004 Summer Olympics as part of the athletics program was held at the Athens Olympic Stadium.
		It was originally planned to hold the discus throw at the Ancient Olympia Stadium, but it was discovered that the field was not large enough to accommodate the range of modern discus throwers, and would have posed a danger to spectators.
		As such, it was decided to move the discus throw and to hold the shot put at the ancient stadium, despite the fact that the shot put was not contested at the Ancient Olympic Games.

	SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Pierre de Coubertin
		Olympia's role in the modern Olympics always has been symbolic, as the place where the Olympic torch relay begins, and where modern Olympics founder Pierre de Coubertin had his last wish fulfilled with the burial of his heart beneath a marble column.
		Athens time they did, as the lights inside the stadium dimmed and the recorded sound of a human heartbeat accompanied each of the final 28 seconds of the countdown: one for each of the modern Olympiads..
		Returning to the Games' ancient beginnings, a runner carrying a flag bearing the image of an olive branch entered the stadium and began his way around the stadium as the roll call of each previous host city was announced.

		A very refreshing and creative take on Munich's Olympic Stadium, with a strict graphism established by the green seats and the distinctive roof, and a welcome relief and vivid element provided by the striding man in the red coat.
		You well located the man in the frame to reinforce the graphical rendering of the shot; The green and red colors, contrasting with the white background, give a dynamic impact to the shot.
		I like especially the graphical pattern of the "lines": the chair rows from bottom-left to top-right, the tent from top-left to bottom-right---all heading to the right, giving the direction of the man as well.

		Between 1958 and 1961 the German School of Archeology discovered the competition track in Ancient Olympia and reshaped the embankments in their original form.
		This crypt was built in the second half of the third century BC, and at first consisted simply of a passage dug out in the earth and linking the stadium to the sanctuary.
		In Macedonian times the passage was turned into an arched tunnel, which explains why it was called a crypt.
