Unforgettable Olympic Moments

Since French baron Pierre de Coubertin gave fresh life to the Olympic movement in 1896, the Games have been witness to some of the most unforgettable moments in sports. Some of those moments have been dazzling athletic achievements. Others have been moments that organizers would have preferred never happened. But good or had, these events have helped create the memories that shape our perceptions of the Olympic Games to the present day. So here, in no particular order, are seven unforgettable moments from the Summer Olympic Games.

Jesse Owens--Berlin 1936

In 1936, Nazi Germany played host to the Summer Olympics, and Germany's Adolf Hitler was determined to prove the superiority of the Aryan race. African-American track star Jesse Owens, a son of a sharecropper and the grandson of slaves, had other plans. In a display that dealt a tremendous blow to the Nazi's racist ideology, Owens won the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash and the long jump. He was also a key member of the 400-meter relay team that won the gold medal.

He set records in three of those events. He was the first American to ever win four medals in an Olympic Games.

But as Owens himself later noted, his single-handed destruction of Hitler's myth of Aryan superiority did little at the time to advance the cause of African-Americans in the US.

"When I came hack to my native country, after all the stories about Hitler, I couldn't ride in the front of the bus," Owens said. "I had to go to the back door. I couldn't live where 1 wanted. I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, but I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the president, either. ' The Soviet Union-USA Gold Medal Basketball

Final-Munich 1972

It was as had a call by officials as has ever been made in a sporting contest. The 1972 gold medal basketball game between the United States and the Soviet Union was a real squeaker, but it looked as if the Americans had pulled it out. But that was not to be, as long-time Monitor sports writer and now sports blogger (博客) Ross Atkins recalled recently:

After the US appeared to have kept its perfect Olympic record intact and escaped a huge upset by the Soviets in the men's final, the referees twice decided to put three seconds back on the clock. The Soviets managed to score the winning basket on the second replay and win the gold medal. Distraught by what they considered an injustice, the members of US team voted unanimously to refuse their silver medals. They've never reneged, and to this day the medals sit in a Swiss vault.

How seriously do the American players who played on that team take this boycott? Team captain Kenny Davis actually placed in his will a request that his wife and children can never, ever receive the silver medal from that game.

Ethiopian Abebe Bikila Wins a Gold Medal While Running Barefoot--Rome 1960

Abebe Bikila was a young member of the Imperial Bodyguard of Ethiopia when he ran the marathon in the 1960 Games in Rome. Up until that time, no black African had ever won a gold medal in the Olympic Games, let alone a prestigious track and field event like the marathon. But Bikila, running without his shoes in the chilly dawn of a Roman summer day, broke that dry spell, and set a new world record at the same time.

It was fitting that his win came in Italy, the nation that had invaded his homeland three decades earlier. His feat captured the imagination of the entire world. Four years later in Tokyo, he repeated it, becoming the first man to ever win gold 'in two Olympic. marathons (a feat only duplicated once) .

He also established a trend that has to this day dominated long-distance events around the globe: the superiority of runners from eastern Africa.

Meterorology

The science of meteorology (气象学) is concerned with the study of the structure, state, and behavior. of the atmosphere. The subject may be be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any one vantage point(46).

One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few hours to a few days ahead(47)

Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and aerological (天气的，气象学的) diagrams.(48). In serving the needs of shipping, aviation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advice, great benefits are reaped in the from of the saving of human life and property and in economic advantages of various kinds,(49).

The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are the disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems.(50).

A Different views must be integrated to give perspective to the whole picture.

B The use of these tools forms that branch of the science called dgnamic meteorology

C There are, of course, some exceptions.

D This approach is coverd by the branch of the science called synoptic meteorology.

E The practical importance of the numerous applications of weather forcasting can not be overestimated.

F One important purpose of meteorology is constantly to strive, through advanced study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy of weather forecasts.
