The document discusses three examples of Olympic values:
1) Pursuit of excellence has evolved over time as technology has advanced sports equipment and apparel, like prosthetics and high-tech swimsuits, though some devices have been banned for providing an unfair advantage.
2) Oscar Pistorius is an example of pursuing excellence through overcoming adversity as the first double amputee to compete in the Olympics.

Oscar Pistorius is a South African runner born without legs who holds multiple world records in track events using prosthetic limbs. Some question whether his prosthetics give him an unfair advantage over able-bodied runners.

Fossils In Africaguest0f5ee19
油
Fossils provide important insights into history. The document discusses several significant fossil finds in Africa, including "Lucy" - the well-preserved skeleton of an early human ancestor from 3.2 million years ago. Another group of human-like hominids called "Handy Man" were taller and smarter than Lucy's species. The fossil of "Neanderthal Man" was also found, revealing information about another group that lived in the same region. Fossils can be used to determine the age of the rocks they are found in and provide clues about Earth's geological shifts over time.Development of track and field in international and national level
