Let’s take a look back at how this all began. Pistol shooting reach the score that will take you to the top. (Table 1) has been a part of the Games since the very beginning. The founder of the modern Olympics, PIERRE FREDY BARON DE COUBERTIN , creator of the first modern Games in 1896, was a pistol shooter himself. The noble French man was a sport aficionado, practicing boxing, fenc- ing, rugby, rowing and horse riding, but he had a special attachment to pistol shooting, so much that he earned the title of French champion seven times in his lifetime. But in spite of its noble origins, Pistol shoot- ing became a mass sport in the following centuries, and shooters from 115 DIFFERENT NATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEES have competed in the Games since then. Once again – as seen in Rifle events – US ATH- LETES have been the most active shooters, with 82 athletes competing in Pistol events in 22 different editions of the Olympic Games. Following them, the home nation of the modern Olympics founders, FRANCE , has BARON DE COUBERTIN Pierre Fredy (FRA) participated in 21 editions, placing 62 athletes on the Pistol lines.

Six other cities submitted applications, but their bids were dropped by the IOC in 1996. These cities were Istanbul, Lille, Rio de Janeiro, San Juan, The 2004 Summer Olympic Seville, Saint Petersburg and Cali. Games (Greek: Therinoí Olympiakoí Agónes 2004 ), officially known as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad and commonly known as Athens 2004, were held in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004 with the motto Welcome Home. 10,625 athletes competed, some 600 more than expected, accompanied by 5,501 team officials from 201 countries. There were 301 medal events in 28 different sports. Athens 2004 marked the first time since the 1996 Summer Olympics that all countries with a National Olympic Committee were in attendance. 2004 also marked the return of the games to the city where they began. Having previously hosted the Summer Olympic Games in 1896, Athens became one of only a handful of cities to have hosted the Summer Games twice or more (together with London, Paris, and Los Angeles). The 2004 Summer Games were hailed as "unforgettable, dream games" by IOC President Jacques Rogge, and left Athens with a significantly improved infrastructure, including a new airport, ring road, and subway system. The cost of the 2004 Athens Summer Games has been cited as a contributor to the Greek government-debt crisis. Some of the venues lie vacant and rotting, while others are in use; the ones at the Olympic Park and others in the coastal area are in regular use.

LaPoIla Abstract The bulk of this dissertation is an analysis of grammatical relations (including syn­ tactic, pragmatic, and semantic relations) in Modem Mandarin Chinese. In Chapter I the background, functional framework, and concepts used in the dissertation are introduced. In Chapter II it is shown that Chinese has not grammatical! z e d the syntactic functions ‘subject’ and ‘object’, and has no syntactic function-changing passive construction. In Chapter HI the nature of word order and its relationship to information structure in Chinese is examined. It is argued that word order in Chinese does not mark ‘definite’ and ‘indefinite’ NPs, as is commonly assumed, but marks information structure.

  • An Analysis of Chinese Olympic and Elite Sport Policy Discourse in The
    An Analysis of Chinese Olympic and Elite Sport Policy Discourse in the Post-Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Era by Xiaoqian Hu A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctoral of Philosophy of Loughborough University February 2015 © by Xiaoqian Hu 2015 i Abstract This thesis has sought to investigate the development of Chinese elite sport policy after the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games through examining the evolution of the Chinese Olympic discourses and elite sport policy discourses with emphasis on the power and interests reflected and constructed within and by these discourses. This study adopts a Critical Discourse Analysis approach, (founded on Critical Realist premises). The discourse analysis protocol employed is modified from Fairclough’s (2005, 2009) framework, also known as Dialectical-Relational Approach, to examine the constitution and implementation of power at the meso and micro levels of relationships within Chinese elite sport. The analysis is based on archival material and semi-structured interviews. Rather than providing a detailed chronology of the Chinese Olympic movement and of Chinese elite sport, the analysis, divided into two main parts, starts with identifying critical periods as the start line of the analysis and points of division that separate these periods. The analysis of the pre-2008 era starts with the year 1993, in which the first Olympic bid by China failed and the second significant reforming policy of Chinese elite sport was published. This section of the thesis consists of an analytic description of the development of Chinese elite sport policy and the analysis of Chinese Olympic discourse and elite sport discourse before the 2008 Olympics.

Do you remember the 23rd Olympic Games in Los Angeles? Xu Haifeng, the Chinese athlete, won China’s first gold medal for shooting. Do you remember the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona? Zhang Shan, a female Chinese athlete, outperformed all male athletes and became the only female champion in the history of skeet shooting. Do you remember the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney? The shooting athlete Yang Ling twice won the 10 meter running target championship and became the only repeat winner until today. Do you remember the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens? In an unprecedented sweep, the Chinese athletes Du Li, Wang Yifu, Zhu Qi’nan, and Jia Zhanbo won 4 gold, 2 silver, and 3 bronze medals, and the five- starred red flag flew time and time again on the Olympic field. Over the past 50 years, Chinese shooting athletes have won 14 Olympic gold medals, 113 world championships, and broken records 117 times. In short, shooting has become a competitive Chinese sport. We strongly believe that Chinese athletes will make additional progress in the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. While taking pride in Chinese athletes’ achievements, have you paid attention to the software and hardware used for Chinese shooting? We investigated which automatic targets and electronic scoring systems Chinese athletes used, and found that most are not made in China: they are imported.
