SUMMER OLYMPIC SPORTS WEIGHTLIFTING WRESTLING HOCKEY BEACH VOLLEYBALL ARCHERY BADMINTON BASKETBALL BOXING DIVING FENCING FOOTBALL

Wrestling

• Wrestlers could use their legs for pushing, lifting and tripping, and they could hold opponents above or below waist.

Hockey

• Hockey is the oldest known ball and stick game.

Beach Volleyball

• Partners must be well matched or opponents will win easy points by exploiting the weaker player

Archery

• The term "Robin Hood" now refers to splitting the shaft of an arrow already in the target with another arrow.

Badminton

• The flight of the shuttlecock, a missile of cork and goose feather that players volley across the net, has been recorded at speeds of 260 kilometers per hour.

Basketball

• For 36 years after basketball entered the Olympic Games as a full medal sport for men, the question was not who would win, but who would finish second.

Boxing

• The fight continued until one man or the other went down or conceded.

Diving

• It is simply diving.

Fencing

Two rivals stand opposite each other and feint, lunge, parry and riposte until one scores the required number of hits to win.

Football

By kicking the football into goalpost.
