The longest event for women was the 00-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 compete 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 lo 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, tey were often actively discouraged. In thegovernment 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 300,000 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 ivil Rights. From that point, Title IX bean to work its magic, slowly though, as most social reforms o. 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 sports have created the most controversy regarding Title IX, the ains in education and academics from the amendment are also noteworthy. Title IX bans sex discrimination in athleticss heavier  and my injuries disappeared. <br><br>The State of the Sport<br><br>Although Dan says the US stil Adobed             "   s!1AQa"q2B#R3b$r%C4Scs5D'6Tdt& EFVU(eufv7GWgw8HXhx)9IYiy*:JZjzm!1AQa"q2#BRbr3$4CS%cs5DT &6E'dtU7()󄔤euFVfvGWgw8HXhx9IYiy*:JZjz ?K^rV7y1foszk6w yM_SbehKmxJ=NK A 6%xr%[ -hl"jti-f0Ѫe}*'U܊IkҌGlАzQM:ٞǵk#׾aMjn}9ObqTkI׌~Uړ~U۔I lj[d[{ 7v5-":_sT/" ^Uۏ/l3uRCިfHv^AdBIה2} GcՋjbuFd&Mz(,2.FW Goa- bX֪zmJGҭ-% r:|}X-RxEI'skLj\IzXZ(`%kiX^c\M_SDB L ka%zNogV[\@b}%cYu&i V3jA{ ;tHM~ǍIv}Rӣx_9LcZ#He7ĠoyH53[sEqC}Kʐ_)IftM)wҼ5(ynǡT4YR5Y9=!}Xhq2ވkbC FfXUe,)bt!MKΟY P}HR)k$:ޟ*MB;U**JWOz?Hpo!i xR9qJ͢7SA2Is[9Rhh`du| Z5cd-!Y!N9qWwΙik] NB1Ȋ,MJXyC6V-.çWk/!VY +En`1»RΤWM(?Pt+yN[+ٌU~q׏4VTh:P:`GV9]"g!'!Pڊy/ocamRX[lRxsYK&{6^̗ 6$wR6C qN!3~h_i4<ONFėRA$%hAۣSSQsdF=ٷnbdatXݪꦟ~lU[4q8OI:][HDƒ`ʻn0!@/0kA $mE;EѬxnn]8dKVppB-&RI@"ƺpXrSP{ŝH99Ro!JQ33i?3R[ǨT}3^֬a($…X ?b@?U<(=ӄdV8]bUkիT Y>1:PRW!{fGV 4QlU]lU]ZŬM՞6?˥\:%^<bGFq~gt)kZ ,@J\cW* rZ%\P96܉QyǕ.S]ZK9l1aRȟW|Y4[M#O0'EUzw;IVߐM)41FxF\_x>դ[)ֻfÖIHaQGX]XP>y{cQ F Ԍd4]Wpj/[o%zPdPV䌳!z~,Jk; VjWM>tZ8? ]+8.׃aNsg8_+Mh7<YjT}L>ЮwSVکokbjI!fKT"AJY6'"_}sGA$/Y?w]3@gOO*>B ߘy Q,!.؆ÿ{/})I!@Org)!&Tu;q^?ug 75Y6DTpGѿӺY݋Vb =%E=1g7uYqU @~2^giw>\Gs0[W$`=R 3
