Apparently, in 1928 the time was right to give a nod to women athletes. So in Amsterdam, a city considered liberal by most standards, the stage was set for the first women Olympians in gymnastics and track and field. The longest event for women was the 800-meter race, won by Lina Radke of Germany. As the athletes crossed the finish line, several of the competitors collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, a result not uncommon among male competitors too.<br>In response to this, the Olympic officials, who were aghast at subjecting "the weaker sex" to such an ordeal, immediately withdrew the 800-meter as an event and the event wasn't reinstated for 32 years. The 100-meter remained the only track event for women other than the hurdles until 1948, when the 200-meter was added. By 1960 there was no way to deny that women were tough enough to compee in longer events, and the women's 800 meter was reinstated, with the 1,500 meter following in 1972, smack on the heels of the enactment of Title IX.<br><br>Title IX's<br>Slow-Growing Tsunami<br><br>As for myself, I was already in my second year of college when Title IX passed. I grew up with three brothers, so I was lucky that sports and an active, physical lifestyle were always a part of my life. For most of my classmates, sports weren't "cool." Some of these women today wage their own wars with obesity, underachievement and low self-esteem - all factors that an active lifestyle and participation in sports can ease or elimnate.<br>Considering that in 1972, schools had virtually no organized female sport programs, Title IX would take many years to put into effect. As late as the 1970s, girls' sports not only were neglected, they were often actively discouraged. In the government publication "Title IX: 25 Years of Progress," it was cited that "In 1971 a Connecticut judge was allowed by law to disallow girls from competing on a boys' high school cross country team even though there was no girls' team at the school. And that same year, fewer than 30,000 high school girls played interscholastic sports. Today [1997], that number is 2.4 million."<br>Legislative efforts to sabotage the original intent of the amendment were waged almost yearly until 1980, when the Department of Education was established and given the responsibility to oversee the implementation of Title IX through the Office for Civil Rights. From that point, Title IX began to work its magic, slowly though, as most social reforms do. Understanding Title IX's impact requires us to look not just at the burgeoning statistics in female sport participation but also at the mindset of the young women athletes of today.<br>While sportsle the other US lifters didn t lift very well. On the plane back someone asked Stewart why the pressure didn t seem to bother him, and he said,  I have more pressure on me every day in the gym than I ever had in ussia. My philosophy is to put my athletes under a lot of pressure in t]ʓAɨ xr]Z5ĿSHn!OI3YIqI\tY,^OOHrZr\<ɯ"ClbxI s%HQbƛ08_ujCQ8SYg 3pv+R΁%UkUhi6ڨ,$yVGl!6bwTT8'Tko-m2{҄]J[M$:|Rdk{5^^ JZWRbSE{~=Y5V?Kuwj:f]r:tN߫ [I|A⏈U}X6y>kH/7;ٴBA`ܠgWZοma޷`bpU6%S-MZpJmn-Zm|殞=?fLQ-ZL#׷UXʀɧdtN&o@?"? }mIf5IjEb[9 [{t[r]0pK,أ&38qouu-P:rG\;N6==E-aGaZM:%3[m=S| )Zc%-R{(.nY I Q\tE_*# ,}B6}wآhڍ2ѱ!]85lceU\#T!XE Z ŒSm 7I9^d_H&I ~ekWɴ %ɳY5P(ySjռ[(ǵy ѷ<$hTJ8G/˺ͮݹ_kܓL+FӀbYnv3m m.}=_ c801lngOw[Ssbp%Si.TV$"P$Z4XE5Sb[Ykp{b?6N6-~ݮ-c%p$M->jy&^X\1G&aCk &H-mTiO(>Ky7dqM2;j~Rek{l=h\qت}J'խӺw"WcT+LT3*wm:~޴,DQ=ܤԗRMKC"͎پ,$GOUp[֫o S9EIAar+yf1dU8vZ eD(YTVEJJ\N'tkU9OAgq',iaLlyyV3xG _w .˾l:Cd24wOc =I"XKr2(Z7-Poy`̑FkhOfT$l$47ͣOŏS7e ==vKȓY-d=w7?*UX4ܞϩ(%[?ۥ{RSLOK֣cN:5{^۱Jz^F&11&11qxxcB21~4m&ռ%0gσ'{DlSbH thhO ' N[qvc.XАIrOVPw=7mC,}8(#ؼe4Ri|SlzwQxz|];\ܶ{$z*f"M}ˎwglzߕ/Lܻ2я#66:վ-gl,t!23Jj47iW7/&kVW.MDnl=ob.U}1 Tʌ8^A_\.?sllFש!xm  gz~c`TݯO*. ~h_90.+;DC5N_1oՕYY,﹓ u{'ǹ.LS%3ƠO\ѱ?O-9YwߵAе$xIlopuQ
