	Sports Venue Technology - 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens
		The Summer Games are returning home to the country that gave birth to the Olympic celebration more than 2,000 years ago and the city that staged the first modern Olympics in 1896.
		It has the full responsibility for the organisation of the 2004 Olympics and, as part of this framework, co-ordinates all the other organisations which contribute to the preparation and organisation of the Olympics.
		The Olympic Village covers an area of 310 acres and is located 11km from the Olympic Stadium in northern Athens.

		Until 1994, the Winter and Summer Olympics were held in the same year, but in 1986 the International Olympic Committee, which organises the Olympics, decided to separate them, so as to spread costs for all involved parties.
		As with the Ancient Olympics, once the flame has been lit, it is kept burning throughout the celebration of the Olympics, and is extinguished at end of the closing ceremony of the Games.
		The Olympic fire is then extinguished, and the Olympic flag is lowered, folded, and presented to the mayor of the host city of the next Olympic Games.

	CBC.ca - Athens 2004 - History: 2004 Athens
		As the first Summer Olympics since the attacks of Sept. 11,2001, the safety of the athletes, spectators and Greek population were of utmost priority.
		The story of Kenteris, the defending Olympic 200-metre champion, and Thanou, the 100 m silver medallist from Sydney, dominated the headlines of every broadcast and newspaper as much for its impact on the host nation as for its sensational details.
		That was a small consolation for weightlifting fans; competitors from their sport accounted for half the total number caught cheating.

	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.

	Egypt in the 2004 Summer Olympics
		The original Olympics were held every four years for a span that lasted for almost eight centuries.
		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.
		At Minsk in May of 2004, Nahla was the biggest star in the field of 262 competitors in both men's and women's weightlifting, and so not surprisingly, even Sport's Illustrated has picked her for Gold in the Women's 75 kg (165 lbs) event at Athens.
