Extractions: This event isn't for slackers. It also helps if you're a morning person, too. Competition starts at 5:30 A.M. with a pistol shoot at a bull's-eye target 10 meters away. After that, there's the dueling and fencing for "first blood," where a single touch wins. Then it's on to the pool, where competitors swim a 200-meter sprint; stroke style is each competitor's choice. Without even taking time to dry off, competitors head to the equestrian arena where they each coax an unfamiliar horse around and over a course of fences. Then, after "resting" atop that horse for a bit, there's a final, two-mile cross-country run. The entire competition takes about 12 hours.

Extractions: makes No. 1 first time out Few schools can proclaim themselves No. 1 in college athletics. While Michigan and Nebraska share the title in football, Emory is making a claim of its own in another sport-team handball. Team handball has not become an official NCAA sport, but this school year marked the debut of its sanctioned college league. The United States Olympic Committee (USOC), in conjunction with the NCAA, is working to enhance development at the college level in certain Olympic sports. The U.S. Team Handball Association successfully petitioned the USOC for a $500,000 grant to create the Southeast Team Handball Conference (SETHC), the first of its kind in the country. A total of eight colleges, including Emory, competed in a regular-season round-robin schedule followed by an end-of-the-season championship tournament. Emory earned the No. 1 seed in the West Division by virtue of a 5-2 regular season record. The Eagles defeated Lander University in the opening round, Benedict College in overtime in the semifinals and Presbyterian College in the finals to claim the first-ever championship. Other competing schools were Furman University, Middle Georgia College, Georgia Southern University and Georgia Tech. The intent of the SETHC is to identify and groom potential talent for the U.S. Olympic team, which finished ninth among 12 teams at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. One such player emerged from the Emory team-goalie Italo Zanzi.

Extractions: In New Jersey call Jimmy Buhning on (201) 926-6000 Team Handball combines the skills of running, jumping, catching, and throwing into a fast-moving, exciting game. Elements of soccer, basketball, hockey and water polo all can be seen in team handball. The basic objective of the game is to out maneuver the opponent by passing the ball quickly and then throw the ball past the defense and goalie to score. Team handball has existed in the United States since 1959, but only in the last few years has it been recognized as something entirely different from the YMCA variety of 4 wall handball. The inclusion of team handball in the Olympics in 1972, and for women in 1976 in Montreal has given the sport more exposure. The sport originated in Europe in the late 1920's and is now second only to soccer in popularity. Team Handball is being played in 72 nations on 6 continents with more than 3 million players affiliated with the International Handball Federation (IHF).

Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Table of Contents Team handball is very popular in much of the world, but little known in North America. Its very name is confusing even to an American who knows quite a bit about sports. The modern game actually grew out of three sports that were developed, independently, in three different European countries: The Czech hazena , the Danish handbold , and the German Torball All three were based on soccer, but essentially replaced the foot with the hand, so that the ball could be advanced by batting or throwing, rather than by kicking. Hazena was being played by Slovak peoples as early as 1892; its rules were first codified in 1906, by a college professor. Handbold (the Danish word for handball) was developed in 1898 by a teacher, Holger Nielsen, as an alternative to soccer. In 1906, Nielsen revised the rules considerably and began organizing competitions outside the school at which he taught. Similarly, Torball was created in 1915 by a German gymnastics teacher, Max Heiden.
