took part, more than any other sports event and all but 5 countries
sent women atheletes. The Olympic flame traveled for the first time to
all continents. The shot put event was held in Olympia - the site of
the ancient Olympic games. The Marathon was run from Marathonas to the
Panathinaiko stadium (venue of the first modern Olympic Games in
1896). In essence the runners were running the route run by
Phidippides after the battle of Marathon in whose honor the Marathon
race was created. A record 4 billion viewers watched the games.
Sailing Olympic winner Nikos Kaklamanakis, lit the Olympic torch which
pivoted downwards, bringing symbolically together earth and sky and
then slowly lifted upwards above the Athens Olympic Stadium. Michael
Phelps won 8 medals (6 gold) in swimming and tied for the most number
of medals won in a single Olympics. The top 3 medal winning nations at
the end of the games were: USA 103 medals (35 gold, 39 silver, 29
bronze); Russia 92 medals (27 gold, 27 silver, 38 bronze); China 63
medals (32 gold, 17 silver, 14 bronze). The games were also
overshadowed by controversies. The antidoping committe caught 22
atheletes with drug doping violations during the games - a record.
Famouse Greek atheletes Kostas Kenteris the 200 mtr Sydney Olympic
winner and Katerina Thanou were banned from the games for failing to
provide timely samples. The judging for the Men's Individual
All-Around Gymnastic medal regarding Paul Hamm (US gold medalist) and
Young Yang Tae (S. Korea bronze medalist) concerned incorrect scoring.

"Sports Geniuses" (2000)
This game show, on the Fox Sports Net cable network, tests a person's
knowledge of sports trivia. Initially, three contestants play two
rounds, answering questions they choose in various categories related
to sports. In the first round, questions are worth 10, 20, 30, 40, and
50 points. In the second round, point totals are doubled. On most
shows, a celebrity athlete is introduced to ask the questions in one
of the second-round categories. At the end of two rounds, the
contestant with the lowest score is eliminated, and the two remaining
contestants meet in the "face-off". Before the face-off, a home viewer
who has played the on-line version of the game gets a chance to answer
a question about his favorite team or sports figure. In the face-off,

Classic Game"), with rules somewhat similar to the famous board game.
Host Hartindale announced six categories for round 1 -- as in the
classic game, they were Geography, Entertainment, History, Arts &
Literature, Science & Nature and Sports & Leisure. The three players,

"Tuesday Night Titans" (1984)
and entertainment (hence the term "sports-entertainment"). Adopting a
talk-show format similar to NBC's "The Tonight Show," WWF wrestlers
and their managers were interviewed by hosts McMahon and Hayes. Comedy
skits featuring the WWF stars were a major part of the show examples
included the Wild Samoans demonstrating the many ways to prepare raw
fish; a "wedding" which evolved into a massive pie/food fight; Cowboy
Bob Orton complains of an arm injury and goes to the doctor with Roddy
Piper in tow; and the many spoofs of TV shows and movies. Other
features were pre-taped promos, or vignettes, of the WWF stars;
question-and-answer segments with members of the studio audience;
promotions of upcoming WWF events; and updates of current WWF
happenings. On occassion, wrestling matches were featured. Unlike most
wrestling matches, most of TNT's material was ad-libbed and/or
improvisional acting. Many of the elements seen on TNT (e.g., comedy
skits) would be used in future wrestling programs, such as the WWF's
"RAW is War" and WCW's "Nitro," and would, in many experts' views, set
the tone for what McMahon called "sports-entertainment

had never tried any of the extreme sports, and though beginners, had
to perform as professionals not only to win the contests, but for
their own safety! During each episode, the show also includes a
"Penalty Round" in which the partners of the losing contestants for
that episode get punished! Therefore, if the male of the Red team lost
on one day, the female on the Red team was the one that had to do the
hardship! These difficult and embarrassing punishments were often
performed in public, and truly tested the love and commitment of the
couples! However, it also provided more motivation for each contestant
to win, so that they didn't have to see their loved ones suffer, or
feel their scorn! Providing more motivation to win, the winners of
each episode's competitions were also given opportunities to secure
more points in that episode's "Bonus Round". These rounds consisted of
very difficult brain-teasers and trivia games to be completed
successfully in a very short amount of time. No doubt, it gave each
round's winner enormous pressure to not only accumulate more points,
but to not waste that day's effort in achieving the winning score!Shot

paradises of Cairns and Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, the show

of extreme sports and challenges for a grand prize of the
