History of Sports

I think the original question related to to original Olympic games, while question 1 address the pentathlon of the Moderen Era. I believe the pentathlon events of the original Olympiad in Greece included wrestling, javlin throw, discus throw, running, and the fifth I cannot recall at this time. The events of the Pentathlon in the ancient Olympics were: 1) a foot race that history has deemed to be approximately 150-200 meters

2) wrestling

3) long jump

4) javelin throw

5) discus throw

Moscow, these Olympics games were also boycotted by many countries.

The importance of information technology in sports is seen in various aspects. This mainly used in analysis, communication, random selection of events and so much more.

It's in Louisville, Kentucky that the Kentucky Derby is held. Louisville isn't a town. It's a big city. It always has been the location of the Derby, for 136 years straight since May 17, 1875.

The National Hockey League's all-time leader in regular-season goals is Wayne Gretzky, with 894. Prior to Gretzky, the league's most prolific scorer was Gordie Howe, who scored 801 goals. On March 23, 1994, Gretzky broke the record with goal number 802.

Gretzky scored 122 goals in the Stanley Cup playoffs during his career, so if we include the postseason, he is also the NHL's all-time leader, with 1,016.

For seven years, there was a second major league, the World Hockey Association. If we combine NHL and WHA totals, Howe comes out on top, with 975 (801 in the NHL, 174 in the WHA). In this category, Gretzky stands second, with 894 NHL goals and 46 in the WHA, for a total of 940.

If we factor in playoffs in both the NHL and WHA, Gretzky comes out on top. He scored 10 postseason goals in his single WHA season, for a grand total of 1,072. Howe is right behind him. He scored 28 playoff goals in the WHA and 68 in the NHL, for a total of 1,071.

12 is a rather inauspicious number, but lets see. Phil Neville wore it, and Eric Cantona wore it when he first joined Manchester United. If i am not mistaken, Thierry Henry wears it when he plays for France

In the medieval society the peasant was a man who worked/farmed for his rent. He gave his labor to the lord of the manor for a place to live and a small patch of land to grow a few things. When there was a war his farm tools became weapons and he fought as a foot soldier to defend his manor/king.

Well, my team once scored 34 and the other team had 2, we kept the starters in, LOL, and i think that 20 of the 34 were assisted so it would be 54 points for our team, i guess 2-4 for the other tgeam so either 56-58, idk if that helps...

After the real live birds named Baltimore oriole. The male Baltimore oriole has the same colors as Lord Baltimore wore, black and orange. Lord Baltimore is the founder of Maryland. The Baltimore oriole is also Maryland's state bird.

The blues originated from New Orleans, it was usually played by men and in bars, casinos and brothels Blues were usually songs about problems of the singers and the troubles in their lives. This is why, when singing the song, the singer would usually sound sad and in despair. :)

Rocky Marciano is one of BOXINGS most revered Legends. ACCORDING to a SPORTS ILLUSTRATED STORY LINE published about "20 years ago" he was. By and large that STORY is discredited in boxing as a cheap shot at a great former and decease world champion. It never in the least effected his legacy and NO-ONE ever brings up the topic, to be honest with you. JOHN WILKINSON John_Wilkinson-History@Live.com

hope this is a good answer!

the fastest mile is 3:43

'''(1)''' Only nobles (i.e. knights) may ride in a joust.

'''(2)''' The rider must own his own horse and equipment (as he may lose said horse if he is unsuccessful at his joust).

'''(3)''' At the signal (usually a trumpet charge), the opponents ride at each other, carrying only a lance and a shield, along the right-hand side of a dividing bar.

'''(4)''' You may use three lances in each jousting match. Once your three lances have shattered, the jousting match is over. However, the knights usually continue their battle on foot, using swords and/or daggers.

'''(5)''' You receive one point for breaking your lance on your opponent's chest.

'''(6)''' You receive two points for breaking your lance on your opponent's helmet.

'''(7)''' You receive three points for knocking your opponent off from his horse.

'''(8)''' An "unhorsing" ends the match.

'''(9)''' If you do not break your lance, it is considered a glancing blow, and does not count for points, unless you manage to unhorse your opponent in that charge.

'''(10)''' If a knight falls, only his own squire may physically help him. When he breaks a lance, only his own squire may hand him a new one. During the match, only the knight's squire may talk to the knight, and only when resetting the horse for the next charge.

'''(11)''' In the event of an unhorsing, the winner may choose to either take his opponent's horse and armour (to use himself, or sell, as he sees fit), hold his opponent for ransom, both of the above, or neither. It is the winner's choice what he shall do should that event occur. I needed this for class thanks...................

It has always been my understanding and that of many in his family that his death was by either "friendly fire" or even worse, 'fragging'. Bob Clement was in the legislature at the time and was supposed to do a thorough investigation. Having followed this closely for over 15 years, I am no closer to what happened. Martha Barfield
