participants have engaged in swimming
events such as the freestyle relay,
springboard diving and platform diving.
In the Winter Olympic Games their
events include Alpine skiing, downhill,
giant slalom, figure skating and Nordic
skiing, cross-country events. In 1952, a
United States woman, Andrea Mead
Lawrence, won the giant slalom; and
there have been United States women
winners in the slalom, but in no other
skiing events has there been a cham-
pion representing our country. In ice
hockey there have been no winners
from the USA, and in speed skating, in
1972 Anne Henning won the 500-
meters, in 1976 Shelia Young won it,
representing the USA, and finally in
1972 Dianne Holum of the US won the
1500-meter speed skating event.
The creed of the Olympic Games is,
"The most important thing in the Olym-
pic Games is not to win but to take part,
just as the most important thing in life
is not the triumph but the struggle. The
essential thing is not to have conqueredOPEN 4PM

but to have fought well." I believe that
all women who have competed in the
Olympic Games have done so with the
creed in their hearts; and after all, it
doesn't really matter who won or who
lost, but the fact that women can and
have been a part of the games show our
ability to compete, to struggle and to
win or lose with dignity and courage.
We have been part of that same strug-
gle in life's continuing games, and in
that same spirit we will continue to
show our endurance, pride and ac-
complishments. Every woman certain-
ly deserves a gold medal for her survival
in spite of the odds that have been
against her, but certainly these medals
will not be speedy in coming. In the
hearts of women there beats that com-
petitive urge to fight and to go on, when
her strength seems gone and her
courage seems weak. Women in sports,
or women in business, or women in the
home-women are Champions at
Heart, with a spirit that will never, ever
be beaten.vwvOPEN 2PM
