International Games In Lahti: 8. Sports to Be Witnessed or Practiced Spectator sports include, in summer: Big-scale gymnastic festivals (2nd half of June); track and field meet (Finnish championships, well worth watching, in mid-August); motor races on the EMntarha Course; and a yachting regatta (date from the Tourist Ass'n), all the foregoing being in or near Helsinki; and, in winter, the Salpausselka International Games in Lahti (Feb.), Puijo InŽternational Winter Games in Kuopio (March) and Ounasvaara InternaŽtional Winter Games in Rovaniemi (March). Winter sports on the Arctic Circle are something to think about.
Various forms of exercises and apparatus events were conducted in schools, colleges, and societies throughout the United States during the early part of the 20th century. In 1936 the NaŽtional Collegiate Athletic Association started anŽnual contests, and in the 1960's almost every state high school athletic association adopted the sport for boys and girls.
The international governing body for the sport is the Federation Internationale de Gym-nastique (FIG), of which the AAU is an affiliate. The FIG's code of rules governs participants in the Olympic Games, World Games, and other competitions on an international level.See Also Panathenean Games:5. The Olympic Stadium, a structure first built under Lycurgus about 330 B. c. for the Panathenean Games, was rebuilt in modern times by a wealthy Greek named Averof. The Olympic Games, whose classic locale was in the Peloponnesian town of Olympia, were revived in this stadium in 1896.
In the way of practical help, suggest games that could be played at home (e.g. word bingo or a cloze game where children fill in missing words or phrases), explaining the particular value of games to a child with reading problems -namely that they're fun and so don't seem too much like hard work, and also that they have a useful repetitive, reinforcing function. When you recommend a game, try to explain just how it is designed to help. There are booklets and pamphlets available, which give ideas for games that can easily be made and played at home (e.g. Hip Pocket Spelling Games series, New York, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983).
On The Other Hand See One Games:The Commonwealth one games are open to member nations of the British Commmonwealth. Originally called the Empire one games until 1970, they were first held in Canada in 1930. They are nicknamed 'the Friendly one games'.Whilst representing Canada Lennox Lewis,
subsequently WBC world heavyweight champion, won the super-heavyŽweight boxing gold medal in 1986 at Edinburgh.
The one games included chariot and horse races in a hippodrome, foot races in a stadium, athletic contests in a gymnasium, musical, dramaŽtic, and literary competitions in a theater; works of painting and sculpture also were exhibited. Prizes of laurel wreaths and palm branches genŽerally were awarded to the victors, who also were allowed to have their statues erected in the plain. Though prohibited by legislation in 394 A.D., the one games appear to have survived as late as 424 A.D. (our last certain reference). Almost 30 minor Pythian one games were celebrated in other parts of the Greek world. |
