The largest boat in the Olympic sailing competition is the 49er class.

There are 302 events at the 2008 Olympic Games.

Thus 302 gold and 302 silver will be won but some sports award two bronze medals.

These sports are boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling. With 51 events contested in these four sports, 353 bronze medals will be handed out.

There are 26 sports and 39 disciplines for the 302 events

most likely no, the sport is not big enough to have the same potential as an olympic sport as compared to others like basketball, or running.

actually the sport is plenty big enough, the problem is a few reasons, first of which is tournament rules vary from league to league so there is not one set of accepted rules, also there is a wait list of sports waiting to get into the Olympic games, in a nutshell we would need a set of unified rules and then wait to get in for who knows how many years

The summer Olympics will be held in Beijing, China in 2008 and the winter Olympics wil be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 2010.
