| The Sydney 2000 Pictograms:
There will
be 28 sports and 19 associated
disciplines at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
The 34 sporting
pictograms represent 24 of
these sports and ten of the disciplines.
The
pictograms have been specially designed
for the Sydney Olympic Games to be used as a directional aid to
spectators,
athletes and officials during the days of competition in 2000. This is
why some disciplines - rather than their controlling sport - have
separate
pictograms if they are being contested at different times or at
different
venues.
For ease of
understanding, the 28 sports are:
aquatics, archery,
athletics, badminton,
baseball, basketball, boxing, canoe/kayak, cycling equestrian, fencing,
football, gymnastics, handball, hockey, judo, modern pentathlon,
rowing,
sailing shooting, softball, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis, triathlon,
volleyball, weightlifting, wrestling.
Seven of
these sports have disciplines, which
are separate competitions contested under the jurisdiction of a
specific
sport. The seven sports and their disciplines are:
Aquatics:
four disciplines - diving, swimming,
synchronized swimming and water polo.
Canoe/kayak:
two disciplines - slalom and
sprint.

mountain bike.
