Jeffersonjames1980.Pdf (3.106Mb) ABSTRACT JEFFWSOM, James B. Chgnnirin styles the dtscu~ throw between 1896 and the present, M.S, in Physical Educatfon, 1980. 64 p. (~r.N.K, Butts). This study was a review of l%tperature and fPh observation concernbg the discus. It consists of fmbasic parts: (I) a section on early times which provides background information on how the ancients threw the dfscus; (2) an area concerned with the creation of the modern Olympic Games; (3) information concerning the discus itself; and (4) the changing throwing styles. Through this review the authop found much controversy concernfng almost every aspect of the dfscus. mat was a discus? What was the construction of a diacus, its weight and mesisurements? How was it thrown and where was it thrown from? -vIlno was the motivating force behind the Olympics and who decided the discus throw would be an event? The study concentrabd on the Olppfc years and their resulting discus winners. Them was progression from standing throws to throws u%iPizing turn techniques. The turns, for the most part, followed in order beginrmfng with 1 turn to 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 1 3/4 and then 2 complete %ma. This scan of literature also found that for every throwing style these were many personal varfaPIions from it.

As Homm wrote in the IPied, concerning the funeral games of Petmc1a~: ...then the son of Pegieus 88% fo&h a ~SBof rough-ee4~$ fmn, which of old %he mighty atrengkh sf &%on ma w& to hmP; but hfan had enrift-footed goodly hhilles slain, and bare tbfs away on bia ehipa with his other gssaeessfsne. And he rstaod up, and @eke amngthe hgivea, saying: Up now yea %ha% will make essay Xfkewise fn tkf~eon4test. !hsngb hfs rfeh fields be Very f8~~em8te, %he WblleX' h8X'eof" ~ffxh87Ye3. .f.$ ff~(~9 revolving years to aeme his need; for not through lack of iron will his shepard or ploughman fa~eto %]he e:f%y; nag, this will ~upp1gthem. So p4f9ake he, and thereat arose Polpetes, ~taunch3.n fight, and $bet mighty strength of godlee bontms, &nd Alias, son of Telannsn, and godly Epeius. Than they took thefr places in oder, and goodly &e%us paaped the mass, and whirled and flung it; and ell the Achaeans laughed aloud thefeat. Then fn tmLeantaus, scion of Area, made a cast; e~ndthfm3I.y great Tefamonian Ares, hurled 5% from his aatronig hand, and sent it rse& the merkrs of all. But when Polypseta~, sttamah in fight, patsped the mesa, fey a8 a herdamean flfngs his crook, and it flieth whirling over the heads of kine, even so far cast he it beyond all the gathering: and the folks shouted aloud, (Homer, 1925/1934, p. 557) From the preceding quote we see some support for the statement made by Blocb that athletic contests were uaed to restore some of their lost powers to the dead, Gardiner (1910/1970) stated that the discus played an important part in the life at the gymnasium and palaes%ra. It won favor with the Romans and Horace mentioned it as a manly exercise. According to Lucian 5% was a valuable exercPse to strengtberi shoulders and gave tone to all extremeties. Doctors approved itst use and Aertaeus recommended it as a cure for chronic headache and dizzyness. Harris (1372) mentioned Pthe Greek youth found it ideal to develop handsome muscles of the shoulders and arms, Today the diskos is Ithought of as a symbol of the ancient games loch, l968), Purpose The purpose of this study was to trace development of the styles, technique, ircrprovemant of throwing the discus wi%h eglphesis in the period of 1896 to 1980, This was done by examining related literature on the subject of the disaus. Some of the amas examined were: tbs Modern Olympic Games from beginning to present; P;he sport of track: and field; weight throwing; physical education; and athletfc games af the Ancient Greekas, Need for the Stud9 Tracing discus styles from 1896 to 1980 is fmrtliortent for a number of reasons, This sport is one of the few carrg-overs Prom the ancient Olympics to the modem Olympics.

Becoming Mary Frick Garrett Jacobs Bernadette Flynn Low, PhD The Frick Family and Victorian Era Values Mary Sloan Frick was born in 1851 and grew up in a privileged position as one of the prominent Frick family of Baltimore. Mary’s father, William Frederick Frick, descended from John Frick, an immigrant from Holland who helped establish Germantown, Pennsylvania. John’s son, Peter Frick, settled in Baltimore, where his own son, William Frick, became an esteemed judge and community leader. William had several children, including William Frederick, Mary’s father. Like his father, William Frederick studied law and graduated from Harvard Law School. Returning to Baltimore, he became one of the first four members of the Baltimore Bar. Mary, appreciative of her heritage, also traced the ancestry of her mother, Ann Elizabeth Swan, to Sir George Yeardley, the first governor of Virginia, and General John Swan, a Scottish immigrant who served in the Revolutionary War and was promoted by General George Washington. After the war, Swan was honored with a Mary Frick Garrett Jacobs. parcel of land by a grateful nation. There he built an estate near Catonsville, Maryland, that would later be named Uplands.

  • Record Storici
    RECORD STORICI I primati Mondiali, Europei, Olimpici stabiliti dagli atleti italiani A scorrere le vecchie carte, si rintracciano numerose grandi prestazioni che gli atleti italiani hanno ottenuto nel Secolo XX. Prestazioni delle quali, per la gran parte, si è persa memoria. Quindi, appare opportuno riproporle in quella che potrebbe essere una delle voci di un nostro “ABBECEDARIO” di atletica, un testo di lettura per le prime classi dei dirigenti federali. Il primo record da ricordare, dei più nobili, è quello di Dorando Pietri a Londra 1908: un proto-primato nella Maratona (come avrebbe scritto Bruno Bonomelli …) cancellato alla pari della sua vittoria. Gli ultimi, già molto lontani nel tempo, sono quelli che Maurizio Damilano ha ottenuto sulla pista di Cuneo nell’autunno 1992. Fra mezzo, molti riscontri tecnici di notevole significato temporale e storico. Nelle tabelle che seguono si è tentato un primo elenco – in ordine cronologico – di tutti quei record Mondiali , Europei e Olimpici che hanno fatto la storia dell’atletica italiana, oltre ad una appendice per non tralasciare una serie di risultati che, per vari motivi, non hanno goduto del crisma dell’ufficialità. In chiave storica va ricordato che la federazione italiana è stata fondata a Milano il 21 ottobre 1906 e che la IAAF ha preso corpo a Berlino nell’ agosto 1913 , dopo che il 17 luglio 1912 i rappresentanti di 17 nazioni – riunitisi a Stoccolma durante i Giochi Olimpici (e tra i quali non figurava nessun italiano) – avevano stabilito di costituire una struttura internazionale che regolamentasse norme e primati dell’atletica leggera. Tra i primi atti della IAAF fu proprio la stesura di una prima lista di record mondiali che venne presentata nel 1914.

  • Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I
    DIVISION I 103 Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I 2001 Championships OUTDOOR TRACK Highlights Volunteers Are Victorious: Tennessee used a strong performance from its sprinters to edge TCU by a point May 30-June 2 at Oregon. The Volunteers earned their third title with 50 points, as the championship-clinching point was scored by the 1,600-meter relay team in the final event of the meet. Knowing it only had to finish the event to secure the point to break the tie with TCU, Tennessee’s unit passed the baton careful- ly and placed eighth. Justin Gatlin played the key role in getting Tennessee into position to win by capturing the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Gatlin was the meet’s only individual double winner. Sean Lambert supported Gatlin’s effort by finishing fourth in the 100. His position was another important factor in Tennessee’s victory, as he placed just ahead of a pair of TCU competitors. Gatlin and Lambert composed half of the Volunteers’ 400-meter relay team that was second. TCU was led by Darvis Patton, who was third in the 200, fourth in the long jump and sixth in the 100. He also was a member of the Horned Frogs’ victorious 400-meter relay team. TEAM STANDINGS 1. Tennessee ..................... 50 Colorado St. ................. 10 Missouri........................ 4 2.

  • SPECIALE /318 [email protected] 31.I
    Diretto da Giors Oneto SPECIALE /318 [email protected] 31.I. 2015 Presso la Procura Antidoping del CONI sono iniziati gli interrogatori dei 65 atleti che dovranno rispondere per mancata reperibilità ( oppure per mancata comunicazione) in caso di controlli a sorpresa. I primi colloqui riguardano G. L. Tamberi, Claudio Licciardello, Andrea Lalli, Giuseppe Gibilisco, Giovanni Faloci, Andrew Howe, Fabrizio Schembri, Fabrizio Donato e Mario De Luca. Intanto si è deciso anche sulla staffetta veloce azzurra mentre giunge la notizia che il P.M. di Bolzano GianCarlo Bramante ha citato in giudizio i medici Fischetto e Fiorella e la funzionaria Bottiglieri. Seguendo l’atletica ormai da una ottantina d’anni ed avendola sempre adorata ( “ sono eterni solo gli amori non corrisposti” sosteneva il collega Gianni Meliconi) mi chiedo se per caso nelle mie scelte di vita io non abbia sbagliato tutto … Sono sicuro di no, di aver fatto la scelta giusta. So che se qualcuno ha sbagliato dovrà pagare ma non sono io che debbo giudicare, condannare, punire: ad altri spetta il compito. Ed infatti è giunta la prima sentenza: è relativa a tre componenti della staffetta veloce (Collio, Checcucci e Donati) che sono stati assolti dalla seconda sessione del Tribunale Nazionale Antidoping dall’accusa di aver assunto Bentelan (i primi due) e di aver avuto frequentazioni con un medico inibito (il terzo). Naturalmente non si è omesso di segnalare da parte dei Torquemada in servizio permanente effettivo che si tratta, in definitiva, di una specie di assoluzione per insufficienza di prove che “non smonta del tutto il castello accusatorio della Procura ” che aveva chiesto un paio di anni di squalifica a testa.
