In this anniversary album, the Academy has produced a social and scientific history based on these reminiscences. Since 1961, the Academy has provided accommodation and education to thousands of people from both Greece and the rest of the world. It has functioned as a small `Olympic Village', offering to its residents the joy of living and learning in an environ- ment of multiculturalism and scientific pluralism. This contribution of the Academy, quite unique in the world, develops a fresh social awareness among the different people who meet for a short period of time in the same setting with its impressive history, following the same academic courses with the common goal of disseminating the Olympic ideals. Their coopera- tion and teamwork cultivate a feeling of deep solidarity and an acceptance of common values that are none other than the Olympic values. This experience is not easy to put into words. However, the Academy and the authors of this volume wish to attempt to convey the uniqueness of the experience and to relive it with the reader. I believe that this new presentation of the Academy's history, through the personal testimonies of the people who lived, taught or were taught, and formed bonds with Greece and Olympia during their stay, will provide a more personal view of the IOA's work and its significance for all those who have visited it over the years. The Academy, as ambassador for the ancient Greek ideal, the Olympic idea, modern Greek civilization and Olympism, has always contributed to international understanding and the promotion of humanism through sport. I am especially pleased to be writing the preface to this edition, which I believe will contribute to a better understanding of the Academy's history, while I also hope that it will constitute a legacy for the future and for young people all over the world. ISIDOROS KOUVELOS President of the International Olympic Academy Milestones are always a time to reflect on the past, and the 50th anniversary of the International Olympic Academy is the perfect opportunity for us to remember all the important work undertaken by the Academy since it first began in 1961. The Academy has come a long way in 50 years. Participants these days are housed on a beautiful campus replete with library, conference centres, an amphitheatre and sport facilities in the mountains of Ancient Olympia. The mountains were the same in the 1960s but the conditions were quite different, with the original participants then living and learning inside tents. The message, however, remains largely the same. The administrators and partici- pants in 1961, like in 2011, shared the belief that embracing and promoting Olympic values can have a positive impact on society. Olympic values such as respect, fair play, excellence and joy in effort need not be confined to the world of sport. On the contrary, they should be applied to all walks of life. The Academy has become a cornerstone in Olympic education. Members of the Olympic family, including those from the International Olympic Committee, the International Federations and National Olympic Commit- tees regularly meet at the Academy for exchanges on a variety of Olympic-related topics. The Academy is, of course, open to people outside the Olympic Movement as well. On any given day, one can see intellectuals rubbing shoulders with athletes, artists learning alongside scientists, and young people taking part in cultural and educational programmes. The founder of the modern Olympic Movement, Pierre de Coubertin, was a staunch supporter of such an academy, although he never lived to see the IOA become a reality. I am certain that he would be very pleased with the centre and all the work that has taken place there over the last 50 years. As you read through this book, you will undoubtedly be impressed by how many lives have been touched and improved by the Academy. Perhaps even more impressive is that there are thousands of other stories just like these not contained in this tome. And that is as glowing a tribute as any to the last 50 years of the IOA. I would like to thank the Academy for its exceptional work during its first 50 years, and I wish it continued success in the years to come. I would also like to thank the Hellenic Olympic Committee for its strong, continued support of the Academy. It is highly appreciated. DR JACQUES ROGGE President of the International Olympic Committee Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the man who was inspired to revive the Olympic Games, said, many years ago, that Olympism is a Movement whose ideas we must study, safeguard and disseminate. Today, Olympism is an important social force that extends to all spheres of human life. There is no other human movement or ideology, of a philosophical, cultural, scientific or religious dimension, with as many proponents as Olympism, judging by the number of countries that have signed and applied the Olympic Charter. Thanks to its solid and always relevant philosophical base, Olympism has man- aged to survive world wars, acts of terrorism, political interventions, international boycotts and the scourge of doping, and continues to offer the world the perennial freshness of those democratic and humanitarian ideas conceived by the ancient Greeks, keeping the flame of hope alive for a much desired universal peace. This is where the mission of the International Olympic Academy has its purpose. Over the last 50 years, as a global academic institution, it promotes methods for the proper teaching of Olympism and the propagation of the Olympic ideals worldwide. In 2011, the International Olympic Academy is not simply celebrating 50 years of existence, but is entering into its most mature and active phase, under the guidance of its President Isidoros Kouvelos, who, in the first two years of his mandate, has taken initiatives that enhance the Academy's true dimension and upgrade its role and work. I have shared, together with everybody who has visited the host premises in Ancient Olympia, the philosophy of Olympism in this sacred place still vibrant today with that same powerful energy! And what is most positive is that this energy is not confined to the land that gave birth to the Olympic Games, but is carried to every corner of the world by the members of the Olympic family ± intellectuals, athletes, officials, ordinary people, and the young men and women who participate in the programmes of the International Olympic Academy and Olympic education. Thus, the deep and lasting impression that a visit to this fascinating place leaves on each individual's soul will produce one more ambassador for the Olympic ideals, who will carry, for as long as he or she lives, the philosophy of Olympism for a fairer, more peaceful and more united world. This promise I can make, both as someone who has breathed the air of Ancient Olympia and as President of the Hellenic Olympic Committee: my support for the mission of the International Olympic Academy will be, over the coming years, stronger than ever before, so that it becomes a major educational institution on the world stage and a shining `beacon' to Olympism. If all of us involved in Olympism and Sport join forces, then, without doubt, we can make the following years the most glorious in the history of the IOA! Happy anniversary to the IOA!

She won the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Gold Medal and has twice been the IAAF’s Female Athlete of the Year. In 2005, she became the first woman to clear five metres and is the current world record holder. Isinbayeva is also an avid reader of Russian history and a collector of dolphins – both model and real. Isinbayeva was born in Volgograd, Russia in 1982. From the age of five, she trained as a gymnast. However, she quit the sport when she was 15 because at 1.74 metres she was too tall. She loved competition and switched to pole vaulting. Her first big competition was the 1998 World Junior Championships, where she finished ten centimeters outside the medals. Isinbayeva showed her true potential in 1999 at the World Youth Games in Poland. She cleared 4.10m to take her very first gold medal. She would improve by nearly one metre over the next decade. In 2000, she won gold again at the Youth Games and the European Junior Championships In 2003, Yelena burst onto the world stage when she broke the world record, clearing 4.82m at a meeting in England.

  • MECHANICS of the POLE VAULT Mechanical Bases of Effective Pole Vaulting Technique
    MECHANICS OF THE POLE VAULT Mechanical bases of effective pole vaulting technique Peter M. McGinnis, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology • SUNY College at Cortland P.O. Box 2000 • Cortland • NY • 13045 email: [email protected] U.S.A. Track and Field 2007 National Podium Education Project December 13-15 • Las Vegas, Nevada T H E V A U L T E R 1. TALL AND LEAN. Elite vaulters are generally tall. Taller athletes have an advantage in the pole vault, especially at the pole strike. A taller athlete usually has a higher reach, and an athlete with a higher reach can strike the pole at a higher angle than a shorter athlete with a lower reach. Perhaps this tip should be entitled "Have a high reach height." Most elite male pole vaulters stand more than 6'0" tall. American record holder Jeff Hartwig is 6' 3". Olympic champion Tim Mack is 6' 2". American record holder Jenn Stuczynski is 6' 0". World record holder Yelena Isinbayeva is 5' 8 ½". There are exceptions, of course - Scott Huffman, Greg Duplantis, Svetlana Feofanova for example. Elite vaulters are lean. There are no exceptions to this rule. 2. FAST. Excellent sprinting ability is necessary for success in the pole vault. During the last steps of their approach runs elite male vaulters reach speeds in excess of 9.5 m/s (29.5 ft/s) while elite female vaulters reach speeds in excess of 8.2 m/s (26.9 m/s). Not all fast vaulters are elite vaulters, but all elite vaulters are fast.
