Background Information,Christopher Reeve,Lance Armstrong,Tour de France,BI_Main,BI- Christopher Reeve1,Christopher Reeve,Christopher Reeve (September 25, 1952 October 10, 2004) was an American actor, director, producer and writer renowned for his film portrayal of Superman / Clark Kent. Reeve was born in New York City to writer/professor Franklin Reeve and journalist Barbara Johnson. When he was four, his parents divorced. His mother moved with sons Christopher and Benjamin to Princeton, New Jersey, and married an investment banker a few years later. After graduating from high school, Reeve studied at Cornell University, while at the same time working as a professional actor. In his final year of Cornell, he was one of the two students selected (Robin Williams was the other) to study at New Yorks famous Juilliard School of Performing Arts, under the renowned John Houseman. Although Christopher is most well known for his role as Superman (1978), a role which he played with both charisma and grace, his acting career spans a much larger ground.,BI- Christopher Reeve2,In 1995 Reeve was paralyzed from the neck down in a riding accident and spent the rest of his life wheelchair-bound, becoming a spokesperson for the disabled and for stem cell research. Selected quotes of Christopher Reeve: “I was worried that only acting with my voice and my face, I might not be able to communicate effectively enough to tell the story, but I was surprised to find that if I really concentrated, and just let the thoughts happen, that they would read on my face. With so many close-ups, I knew that my every thought would count.“ “So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.“,Lance Armstrong,Lance Armstrong was born September 18, 1971 in Plano, Texas. His parents divorced when Armstrong was really young and Lance was raised by his mother, Linda. Lance Armstrong got his first bicycle when he was seven and started riding every day. Some days Armstrong would cycle all the way to Oklahoma and would have to call his mom to come pick him up. Eventually, Lance Armstrong was able to bike home himself and started entering amateur races. During his senior year of high school, he moved to Colorado to train with the US Olympic development team for cycling.,BI-Lance Armstrong1,Lance Armstrong competed in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, where he placed 14th in the road race. After the Olympics, Armstrong turned professional and joined the Motorola cycling team. His professional career didnt get off to a great start, as Lance Armstrong finished dead last in his first race. But in 1993, Armstrong won the World Road Race Championship in Oslo, Norway and by 1996 Lance was the seventh-ranked cyclist in the world. After competing in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Armstrong started to feel tired and weak and couldnt race as well as he used to. Doctors told Lance he had cancer in his testicles. Lance Armstrong had one of his testicles removed and started massive chemotherapy. The cancer eventually spread to Armstrongs brain and doctors only gave him a 40 percent chance of surviving. That didnt stop Lance Armstrong from believing he could race again. Armstrong had surgery and several more doses of chemotherapy and was cancer-free by February, 1997.,BI-Lance Armstrong2,Lance Armstrong returned to competitive cycling in 1998, and in 1999 he entered the grueling Tour de France a 2,274 mile race through the Alps. Armstrong dominated the race from start to finish and won the event by nearly seven minutes. Lances amazing comeback from cancer made Armstrong a world-wide celebrity and an inspiration for other people with cancer. Since returning to competitive cycling, Lance Armstrong has been the worlds most dominant force on two wheels. He won the Tour de France a record six consecutive times 1999 to 2004. His success prompted some to nickname the event the Tour de Lance. Armstrongs achievements have been widely lauded. In 2002, Sports Illustrated magazine named him their Sportsman of the Year. He was also named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for 2002, 2003 and 2004, received ESPNs ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete in 2003 and 2004, and won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Overseas Personality Award in 2003. (From .) A quote of Lance Armstrong: “If I never had cancer, I never would have won.“,BI-Lance Armstrong3,Tour de France,BI-Tour de France,The (Le) Tour de France (French for Tour of France), also simply known as Le Tour, is an epic long distance cycling competition for professionals held over three weeks in July in and around France. It has been held annually since 1903, only interrupted by World War I and World War II, and is now one of the worlds largest sporting events.
