A knockdown in boxing refers to when a fighter is knocked to the canvas by their opponent and must touch the floor with any part of their body other than their feet. The referee will then begin a count, and if the fighter is unable to get up and continue fighting before the count of ten, the fight is considered over, and the opponent wins by knockout.

Only 1 company had the licenses to make his Olympic card. It was made by the Star Company. The range anywhere from a few $100 to over thousand. Beware of fake ones with no trademarks on them.

Members of a team that compete in at least one of the heats, quarterfinals, semifinals, or finals receive a medal if their team finished the final competition in the top three. For example if a swimmer in the 4x100 freestyle relay competes in the semifinal race only, they will get a medal if their team finishes in the top three in the final race.

By most accounts, the first time basketball was officially played at the Olympics was in 1936 in Berlin, with only amateur players-- and at that time, this meant men only. In 1992, professionals were allowed to compete for the first time.
