thousands of athletes from hundreds of
nations and they compete in dozens and
dozens of sports we should go sometime

show one of the sports that is featured
in the summer Olympics is diving diving
is a very serious sport but when we went
out to make a video with the US
highdiving team they were in a very
silly mood so here's the fun side of
diving
flash i was taking a bath long about a
Saturday night

everything was all
right put my feet on the floor i wrapped
the town around me and I open the door

started in ancient Greece in the year
776 BC what year is it now 1994 so

to our audience i have an idea and cue
the host the contest at the Olympic
Games let us know who's the best in the
world at their sport and the only way to
get that good is to practice a lot yes
because as the saying goes champions
aren't made overnight so let's watch
some junior soccer players who are
working hard to improve their skills

i got to push the ball ahead as fast as
I
can my feet do the work the bone never

hands i see an open break on now's the
chance to show just what I can do i am
the goalie and I'm going to make a
[Music]

Information Center this very famous
building the Parthonon is in Athens
Greece it was built almost 3,000 years
ago around the time of the first Olympic
Games that's a very long time ago and
things were very different back then for
instance people wore clothes that looked
like
this there weren't any cars so people
got around in chariots that looked like
this

information center and find out more

only foot races and relay races foot
races are when you race on your feet
relay races are when one runner runs
hands a baton like this one to another
runner who keeps going and hands it to
another runner it keeps going like that
until they reach the finish line it was
so exciting over the river is next tape

ninetime Olympic medalist Nadia Comich
and Bart Connor the only American
gymnast to win gold medals in every
gymnastic competition there is here with
Janet Bates on question time thank you
Christian thank you Alexandra good
morning Bart and Nadia good morning
morning Jenny what advice do you have
for kids who dream about being future
Olympians the kids have to have fun
first when they start to do a sport and
they have to have little goals that they
have to accomplish every day and the
most important thing is to have a lot of
fun how old were you when you first
thought about being an Olympian well
actually I was about 10 years old when I
started training in gymnastics nadia you
were what 6 years old i started when I
was six and now uh the kids actually the
the girls start when they are two three
how did you feel when you won the gold
medal to win an Olympic gold medal
everything has to go exactly right and
some of that has some of the luck has to
fall your way and I was really happy
that I had a little good luck you know
on a day like it really mattered like
the Olympics what about you i didn't
expect to win a gold and then actually I
end up winning more than one i was one
of those gymnasts that had to win by
just a little bit because everyone was
so close she was so much better than
everybody else that she could even fall
and still win that's how much how great
she was at the time how many hours did
you practice i used to train 78 hours a
day can you show us something absolutely
sure yeah nadia will demonstrate first
she's going to show us a move on uh the
floor as you know to be a great gymnast
you have to show a lot of flexibility so
maybe you can show us a split
yeah great huh all right and then uh
here's a way a very elegant way of
getting up from the ground you can do
what we call a
Valdez pretty
good all right now I'll show you a move
that I use in my floor exercise routine
the men and the women have to show
flexibility and strength so here's a
move that shows a combination of both
we're going to start in a straddle
position here on the
fingertips press up
handstand how about that hey Q okay you
want to try something okay all right
here's what we can do um you're going to
show us a back bend okay like a bridge
and you're going to start with your
hands extended way over your head
naughty and I are going to spot you and
just arch back all the way back nice and
slowly right look for the floor you see
it back there mhm okay and then you go
over and then down and you did it give
him one of these
that was good all right what do you do
now well actually we uh work together on
a lot of different things we have our
own gymnastic school where we have uh
kids starting at 2 years old and we got
800 little kids training in gymnastics
so it's fun to work with them well thank
