THE FIRST RECORDED Olympic chant of the modern era, fittingly, was ""Nike! Nike!,'' which is the Greek word for ""victory.'' The first man to hear it was James Connolly, an American hop-step-and-jumper, who dropped out of Harvard to compete in the 1896 Games. Arriving in Athens the night before the start of the Games (having, according to Olympic historian David Wallechinsky, miscalculated the gap between the American and Greek calendars), Connolly entered the triple jump on the first day and won, easily, with a jump of just under 45 feet. The first-place medal that year was silver, not gold, but it came accompanied by a certificate and an olive branch. Connolly, who went on to become a well-known war correspondent and novelist, apparently never regretted choosing Olympic immortality over a degree from Harvard.
There were only around 300 athletes altogether at that first modern Olympiad -- drawn from a world population of a little more than a billion and a half, or less than half the number expected to watch the opening ceremonies in Atlanta. The competitors represented a total of 13 countries, although most of them were, as it happened, Greek. In photographs, their faces beam with Olympian idealism and spirit, their handlebar mustaches bristle with pride, while their bodies . . . well, it's hard to tell. Most of them posed in woolen suits with neckties and vests, but it's fair to say that in the days before athletes expected to go on to careers as actors or advertising icons, they didn't have to worry much about muscle definition.
They trained as hard as they needed to win, but not many of them could afford to spend their whole lives in the gym; after all, they were all amateurs. The biographies of marathon winners in the first few Olympiads make up a virtual encyclopedia of Industrial Age occupations: deliveryman, foundry worker, railroad brakeman, department-store clerk. The very first marathon winner, in 1896, was a Greek shepherd named Spiridon Louis, who promptly retired from sports and went back to his village. A grateful nation showered him with gifts -- shaves for the rest of his life from an Athenian barber, clothing, a year's worth of restaurant meals. So much for amateurism.
