COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) announced today the 2004 Titan Games sports schedule introducing dates and times for all sessions and competitions taking place during year two of the event being held June 18-20 in Atlanta, Ga.     More than 185 Titan Games participants will be featured throughout three days of competition at Centennial Olympic Park and within state-of-the art Philips Arena. Though the competition will reach its crescendo during the Sunday evening session with wrestling, boxing, judo, taekwondo and weightlifting all on display, the caliber of athletes and teams competing and the events proximity to the Olympic Games will make for three days of intense, non-stop action.     With U.S. Olympic Team athletes expected to compete in all seven sports, the 2004 Titan Games will be unprecedented in assembling the most U.S. Olympic Team members ever prior to the start of Olympic competition. The event will come less than two months before the start of the Olympic Games in Athens and for many of the athletes, the competition will serve as the final test before touching down in Greece.     That test will get no bigger than in the wrestling competition for the U.S. as world powers Iran (No.3 world ranking) and the Republic of Georgia (No. 1 world ranking) have accepted invites to attend and compete against the U.S. men (No. 2 world ranking) in Greco-Roman and freestyle. There is perhaps no greater rivalry in the sport of wrestling currently than when the U.S. and Iran square off on the mat, and the 2004 Titan Games will mark just the fourth time since the 1996 Olympic Games that Iran has competed on U.S. soil.     "Georgia beat us at the World Championships last year in our own country and Iran was third, said Kerry McCoy, a 2003 World Championships silver medalist. "That's three of the best teams in the world from the previous year, so the quality of competition should speak for itself. You don't get that too often in an Olympic year event."    "The Titan Games is going to give us a real gauge to see where we are at a month and a half before Athens," added McCoy.    "We're excited to wrestle in the Titan Games. It was a great event for us last year. It definitely gives us an Olympic feel going into Athens," said Kevin Jackson, a 1992 Olympic gold medalist and current freestyle wrestling head coach. "The teams we are competing against are two of the best in the world. To be able to see competition this good just before the Games will be a good test for our guys and help them better prepare for Athens. Based on how we do in the Titan Games, we will be able to prepare better for the Olympics."    In freestyle, the Republic of Georgia won the World team title, followed by runner-up United States and third-place Iran. In Greco-Roman, Georgia was the 2003 World Champion. Iran is a developing power in Greco-Roman wrestling and has qualified six Greco-Roman weight classes for the Olympic Games.    As a prelude to their first Olympic competition ever, the U.S. women's freestyle team will face northern border rival Canada along with China. The U.S. team was second in the 2003 World Championships while China was fourth and Canada finished sixth at the 2003 World meet. All three teams have qualified all four women's weight classes for the Olympic Games.     Wrestling will be contested on Saturday, June 19 and Sunday, June 20 inside Philips Arena. U.S. wrestling competitors won't be announced until the conclusion of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials-Wrestling May 21-23, in Indianapolis, Ind.    The final preparation for the U.S. Boxing team will come against Germany (No. 3 world ranking) as well as Korea and Mexico. Germany won five medals at the 2003 World Championships, which tied with Cuba's medal output. The U.S. Olympic Boxing Team has been selected and includes gold medal hopeful Andre Ward (Oakland, Calif.) and eight other boxers looking for more experience before stepping into the ring in Athens. On top of kicking off the action on June 18, boxing will also be contested in each of the three event sessions inside Philips Arena.     "The 2003 Titan Games were a great experience for me, they really give you the feel of an Olympic Games with all the different sports being contested in one place," said Andre Ward, USA Boxing's gold medal hopeful who has not lost since 1998. "Mexico, Germany and Korea will give me great competition as we train for the Olympics. The light heavyweight from Mexico was the Pan American Games champion; Germany will give me additional experience facing that European style and Korea is always tough. The competition I face at the Titan Games will be essential in my preparation for the Olympic Games."    Rarely does an event like shot put get the opportunity to showcase itself in a unique way, but that's exactly what the Titan Games will provide as both men and women shot putters will compete during the City Celebration on June 18 in Centennial Olympic Park. The shot put will be an up-close demonstration of the intensity surrounding this event and will showcase some of the nation's best throwers including Christian Cantwell, the world's current No.1 ranked shot-putter, as well as Atlanta natives and current Athens, Ga. residents Adam Nelson, a 2000 Olympic silver medalist, and Reese Hoffa, the 2004 Indoor World Championships silver medalist.     Splitting the same Titan Games battle zone, judo and taekwondo will be contested during three of the four sessions. U.S. Taekwondo athletes will get the chance to go up against world No. 1 ranked Korea during the afternoon session on Saturday, June 19. The U.S. Judo team, which could feature Olympic medal hopefuls Brian Olson and Jimmy Pedro, will face China and Mexico on the judo mats. USA Judo and U.S. Taekwondo will announce their teams for this event following their Olympic Trials on June 5.     Atlanta area fencing fans will get the chance to see sister's Sada and Emily Jacobson compete. The Dunwoody, Ga. natives have already qualified for the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team and will be among a short list of relatives ever to have competed on the same Olympic Team together.     Finally, weightlifting brought the inaugural Titan Games to a rousing finale and will do so again at the 2004 Titan Games. U.S. women's weightlifters will compete against Germany and a group of Pan Am All-Stars during the afternoon session on Sunday, June 20 while the U.S. men's weightlifters will conclude the competition on Sunday evening against those same teams. Though the U.S. Weightlifting team won't be decided until the May 8 Olympic Trials, likely participants include U.S. strongman Shane Hamman along with 2000 Olympic gold and bronze medalists Tara Cunningham and Cheryl Haworth.     The 2004 Titan Games will be Built by Home Depot, as the Atlanta-based home improvement retailer will be the presenting sponsor of the event. Other sponsors supporting the event include Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch, United Airlines, adidas, Kodak, Bank of America and McDonalds.
