The most common types of athletics competitions are track and field ,road running, cross country running, and race walking. The simplicity of the competitions, and the lack of a need for expensive equipment, makes athletics one of the most commonly competed sports in the world.

Athletics is mostly an individual sport, with the exception of relay races and competitions which combine athletes performances for a team score, such as cross country.
According to historical records, the first ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 BC. They were dedicated to the Olympian gods and were staged on the ancient plains of Olympia.

Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympic Games, is in the western part of the Peloponnese which, according to Greek mythology, is the island of "Pelops", the founder of the Olympic Games. Imposing temples, votive buildings, elaborate shrines and ancient sporting facilities were combined in a site of unique natural and mystical beauty. Olympia functioned as a meeting place for worship and other religious and political practices as early as the 10th century B.C. The central part of Olympia was dominated by the majestic temple of Zeus, with the temple of Hera parallel to it.

The Olympic Games were closely linked to the religious festivals of the cult of Zeus, but were not an integral part of a rite. According to specialists, the Olympic Games owed their purity and importance to religion.

Fans Olympic Canoe Slalom

The canoe slalom events at the Olympic Games combine speed, stamina, and immense concentration. Those who compete in the event attempt to navigate rapids and currents flowing at up to 13 cubic meters per second, all while crossing gates and racing to the finish line.

In 1970, the International Olympic Committee voted to include the sport at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. That year, four total events -- three men's and one women's -- were contested, and East German athletes won gold medals in each of the events.

During the next IOC session, held in August of 1972, IOC members voted to remove the sport from the Olympic program. Thus, the sport would not be contested again in the Olympic Games for 20 years.

Canoe Sprint events are head-to-head races conducted on still water, as opposed to the white-water time trials of the Canoe Slalom competition. In canoes, athletes race single (men's C1) or in pairs (men's C2). In kayaks, athletes race either single (men's K1 and women's K1), in pairs (men's K2 and women's K2) or in fours (men's K4 and women's K4).

Canoe Sprint depends on immense core and upper-body strength, as well as great stamina. Technique is vital too, to ensure getting the maximum out of every stroke.

European person John MacGregor was the founder of Canoe Sprint. He also formed the first-ever kayak club “The Royal Canoe Club of London” on the 25 July 1866 in London.

He first Canoeing competition, organised by MacGregor, was held in 1869. In 1871 the “New York Canoe Club” was established. By the 1890s, canoe sport was popular all over the European continent.

Olympic Athletics Race Walk

Race walking is a long-distance athletic event. Although it is a foot race, it is different from running in that one foot must appear to be in contact with the ground at all times. There are two rules that govern race walking. The first dictates that the athlete's back toe cannot leave the ground until the heel of the front foot has touched. Violation of this rule is known as loss of contact. The second rule requires that the supporting leg must straighten from the point of contact with the ground and remain straightened until the body passes directly over it.

Race walking entered the Olympics in 1904 when an 880-yard walk was a part of the 10-event “all-around” competition that eventually morphed into the decathlon. There was a 3000-meter race walk in the unofficial 1906 Games, then race walking made its official Olympic debut in 1908 with 3500-meter and 10-mile events (both won by Great Britain’s George Larmer). Walking events have since taken place at several distances. The 50-kilometer race walk became an Olympic event in 1932; the 20-kilometer men's event replaced the 10-kilometer walk in 1956.

London Olympic 2012 will showcase the Race Walking Matches Venue (The Mall London) from 4 August to 11 August.Fans of the racewalking can get the racewalking tickets at Global Ticket Market on easy prices.

In 1900, a high jump and a long jump for horses were held for the only time, while in 1920, vaulting made a single appearance on the Olympic programme. Otherwise, the programme has rarely varied.

 However, equestrian events were not held again until 1912 in Stockholm. In 1952, equestrian sports events during the Olympics were contested by men only. These restrictions were lifted, and since then men and women have competed against each other in the equestrian events.

Equestrian events in the Olympics have evolved with society into one of the only Olympic events inviting skilled men and women to share the arena in competition.This sport yields a deeper appreciation of the athletes, both human and animals, presenting during Olympic Equestrian programs.

Olympic Questrian Dressage

Dressage is one of the Olympicequestrian sports. The modern Olympics commenced in 1896 with equestrian events appearing in the 1900 Paris Games. It was the 1912 Stockholm Games where the 'military test' first appeared and evolved into the separate Olympic disciplines of dressage, eventing, and stadium jumping.

Horses have been used for the military. Horses had to be obedient and maneuverable; a system of training was developed, first documented in the writing of the Greek Xenophon. The system of training was built upon throughout the ages, with many well-known riding masters, military and civilian, writing books expounding their methods.

By 1912, the equestrian disciplines dressage,jumping, and eventing were included. However, the riders continued to be all male and predominantly military for a few decades. The United States Cavalry at Ft. Riley exchanged ideas and instructors with the schools in Europe and started the trend that brought dressage training not only to the military but to civilians in the United States.

The Equestrian competition at London 2012 is made up of three disciplines: Dressage, Eventing and Jumping. Each discipline requires different skills from the riders and horses competing from Thursday 2 August to Thursday 9 August 2012, at the Aquatics Centre – Olympic Park. 136 (68 men, 68 women) athletes will contest for 8 Medals.

Martin Reader excited to represent Canada

It took until three weeks before the Olympic Games, but beach volleyball player Martin Reader has his coveted ticket to London.

Reader, a Comox native who lived in Vancouver for several years before relocating to Toronto in September, and his partner Josh Binstock of Toronto, won Canada’s lone men’s berth on Saturday with a 21-18, 21-14 victory over Chris Redmann of Toronto and Ben Saxton of Calgary at Ashbridges Bay in Toronto.

“So excited to be part of the CDN Olympic Team! ” Reader, 28, said in a tweet. “Stoked to meet & do Canada proud in the sand at Buckingham Palace.”

The beach volleyball will actually take place on temporary courts set up at Horse Guards Parade in central London. It is flanked on the south by the rear garden wall of 10 Downing St., the official residence of the British Prime Minister.

Reader and Binstock, who teamed up this year, are ranked No. 35 among the 146 duos on the FIBV World Tour. They needed to face off against Redmann and Saxton after both duos combined in late June in Mexico to win the Continental Cup and earn Canada a regional Olympic berth. Playing in front of 1,000 sun-drenched spectators, Reader and Binstock took charge early.

“We executed our plan perfectly, our position serving, big blocks and great defence,” Reader said in a release. “But we still have a lot of work to do with the Olympic Games ahead of us.”

“Anything can happen [at the Games],” Binstock told reporters after the match. “Once you get yourself to the big show — the L.A. Kings showed it — anything can happen.”

On the women’s side, Quebecers Annie Martin and Marie-Andree Lessard beat Heather Bansley and Liz Maloney of Toronto 17-21, 21-12, 15-10 to claim their Olympic berth. Canada’s only beach volleyball Olympic medal came in 1996 when Mark Heese and John Child earned bronze.
