ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφή''I would like to inform you that the country which you mention as ''macedonia'' is FYROM. Macedonia is the province of North Greece. It is unacceptable and unethical for global journalism to call them by a name that belongs to another country, reveals irredentism and invasion ambitions against a European country's name, and was the main reason why Fyrom was vetoed from NATO with full support almost from every country. You also confuse tourists that visit Northern Greece and Macedonia province (mountain Olympus for example) and end up by mistake in...Fyrom Scopjie instead of Greece!
You also confuse History!!!
All free male Greek citizens were entitled to participate in the ancient Olympic Games, regardless of their social status. Orsippos, a general from Megara; Polymnistor, a shepherd; Diagoras, member of a royal family from Rhodes; Alexander I, son of Amyndas and King of Macedonia; and Democritus, a philosopher, were all participants in the Games.

Dear Editor
In the below NBC web page
http://www.nbcolympics.com/countries/country=mkd/index.html
that has as subject the Olympic Games and the State of the "former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia", I saw with surprise that has as part of the Olympic tradition the Macedonian King Philip II. I would like to add some remarks as about this quote. Macedonia is a geographical region and not a State. The State that you showing in your site is the "former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" as recognized from UN and Olympic Committee. Historically, it is tied to Greece. Macedonians, who participated in the Olympics at Olympia, were as follows:
• King Alexander I, in the 80th Olympics, in 460 BC. He run the "Stadion" and was placed very close second.
• King Arhelaos Perdikas, competed in the 93rd Olympics, in 408 BC and won at Delphi the race of the four-horse chariot.
• King Philip II (as you mention)was an Olympic champion three times. In the 106th Olympics, in 356 BC, he won the race, riding his horse. In the 107th Olympics, in 352 BC, he won the four-horse chariot race. In the 108th Olympics, in 348 BC, he was the winner of the two colt chariot.
• Cliton run the Stadion in the 113rd Olympics, in 328 BC.
• Damasias from Amphipolis won in the Stadion in the 115th Olympics, in 320 BC.
• Lampos from Philippi, was proclaimed a winner in the four-horse chariot race in the 119th Olympics, in 304 BC.
• Antigonos won in the Stadion race, in the 122nd Olympics, in 292 BC and in the 123rd Olympics in 288 BC.
• Seleucos won in the field-sports competition in the 128th Olympics in 268 BC.
• During the 128th Olympics, in 268 BC and in the 129th Olympics, in 264 BC, a woman from Macedonia won the competition. Pausanias mentions that: "…it is said that the race of the two-colt chariot was won by a woman, named Velestihi from the seashores of Macedonia".

The Macedonians, like all Greeks, took part in the Amphictyony and the Olympic games. The President of the First International Olympic games of 1896 that took place in Athens was Dimitris Vikelas from Veria of Macedonia. The Macedonians had, like all other Greeks, four ancient theatres. It is noteworthy that the Greeks were the only people in antiquity that had theatres. There are also two ancient Greek theatres in the Southern part of the Democracy of Skopje where the Serbian Army occupied a small strip of land, which belonged to Ancient Macedonia and annexed it to the Serbian territory.
Summarised the above, the remark of the NBC, as Olympic Tradition the participation of the Macedonian King Philip I in an Slav – Albanian State is a false perspective, a run-around as regards the Olympic Tradition and Greek Culture.
I am a Macedonian, however I am in no way identified with or related to the newly formed independent state referred to as "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" ; I am instead insulted by the fact that I cannot be known as a Macedonian without being identified by others as related to FYROM.
My identity has been usurped. Where is the justice Dear Editor ?
Also IOC (International Olympic Committee)........
http://www.olympic.org/uk/organisation/noc/noc_uk.asp?noc_initials=MKD
recognize this State under the UN Name.
Please next time consider the above facts before allowing to publish article and name with "cold blood" a State that not following UN decisions and International agreements.

Is this a modification of Greek Olympic Tradition to put Greek historical persons in a State that has nothing to do with the ancient Greek Olympic Tradition?

ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήανώνυμε[12 Αύγουστος 2008 1:42 πμ] έχεις δίκιο. Το είχα παρατηρήσει από την πρώτη μέρα όταν ξεκίνησα την ιστορία με τον Φίλιππο. Η στάση του NBC απέναντι στον Ελληνικό Ολυμπιακό παρελθόν είναι το λιγότερο που μπορώ να πώ κακή.
