                                Introduction
=============================================================================

I thought I'd write an FAQ for this game(it may be 9 years old) because
it's one of my favourite Mega Drive/Genesis games, and I've restarted 
playing it on my Sega Emulator.  Also, there were no other guides when I
started, so I thought I'd have one. Oh yeah, and I want to write enough
FAQs so I can get a contributors page on gamefaqs! ^_^

Send me your tips/cheats, and especially best Times!


=============================================================================
                                    100m
=============================================================================

The 100m is the first event in the full Olympics.
This is one of the easier events in the game.
You usually will win a medal in this event.

Start just after the gun is fired.

To Run: tap A and B intermittently as quickly as possible.
To Duck for the line: Hold C when you are just about to reach the line,
        keep tapping A nad B as you are holding C.

=============================================================================
                                 Shot Put
=============================================================================

Shot Put is a difficult event.
It takes much practice to be able to throw over 70 metres.

To speed up your swing: tap A and B intermittently
To start/ Throw: tap C.

Throw when you are about 2/3rds of the way up to the line.

=============================================================================
                                 Archery
=============================================================================

Archery is one of the easier events, but it takes time.

To pull back arrow: hold Left and press A when fully pulled back.
To Aim: move D-Pad around and try to hit yellow part of target.
To Shoot: press A

Don't shoot straight away because you have lots of time.

If you forget to pull back the arrow, aim for the top of the target
around the middle, and you can get an 8!

=============================================================================
                               110m Hurdles
=============================================================================

The 110m hurdles is just like the 100m, but with Hurdles(of course!)
This is slightly more difficult than the 100m

To run:  same as 100m
To Jump: tap C when you are close to the hurdle, you'll figure out when
         to do it exactly
To Duck: hold C when approaching the line.

                               Pole Vault
=============================================================================

*To be Completed*

Will someone please email me and tell me how to do this, because I can't!

=============================================================================
                                 Diving
=============================================================================

Diving, like shot put takes lots of practice.
The best way to learn to do this is watch the Demos in Training Mode.

For the first 4 dives I always chose the hardest of the 3rd dive.
For the fifth dive I chose the 2nd position - 3rd dive.

To Extend diving board(for more difficult dives): Hold A+Left
To jump up at middle of board: tap Up
To jump off end of board/spring up off it: tap down
To Spin: Hold Left/Right
To hold feet: hold A
To twist: press B
To Dive into water: Hold Down

=============================================================================
                                Swimming
=============================================================================

Swimming is one of the more difficult events.
It involves 4 lengths of the pool.
You don't go full speed like the 100m, you hhave to keep pace with the other
swimmers to conserve energy.

To Swim: A+B intermittently, Hold C when coming to the end of length to turn
You can press A+B quicker on the return length.
