The 2012 Summer Olympic programme features 26 sports and a total of 39 disciplines. London's bid featured 28 sports, in line with other recent Summer Olympics, but the IOC voted to drop baseball and softball. The IOC considered new sports of karate, squash, golf, roller sports and rugby sevens, but none received enough votes to reach the required two-thirds majority. [Golf and Rugby sevens will be added in 2016.]

Women's boxing will be added to the programme. Forty athletes will compete in five different weight classes.

There is not one. In the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China, Germany has a female gymnast competing at the age of 33.

I really depends on how many athletes qualify for each event. The more populas the country the more athletes they will send to the games. Each event has pre qualifiing rounds leading up to the olpymics. If a county qualifies then they can send those athletes to the games.

This person named Hatsune Miku idk who that is but she is at 21%.

It's actually only a possibility that she will be singing, and she is a Vocaloid. A Vocaloid is an electronic voice based off of a real singers voice, that is given a personality and an image. Hatsune Miku is one of the most popular and one of the oldest Vocaloids. If she does sing she will represented with a hologram, like at the live Vocaloid concerts.

These divers, as well as divers from many other countries, are wearing Kinesio Tape, which is used to help manage pain for a variety of bone, muscle, and joint issues.

According to most accounts, the Olympic rings were adopted by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (founder of the modern Olympic Movement) in 1913 after he saw a similar design on an artifact from ancient Greece. The five rings represent the five major regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Every national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colors, which are (from left to right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red. It is important to emphasize that Pierre de Coubertin never said nor wrote that the colors of the rings were linked with the different continents The Olympic Flag made its debut at the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium. At the end of each Olympic Games, the mayor of that host-city presents the flag to the mayor of the next host-city. It then rests at the town hall of the next host-city for four years until the Opening Ceremony of their Olympic Games. Every time a country hosts the Olympics, a new emblem is created, with new meaning behind its conception.

July 27, 2012.

Olympic host cities are chosen by the Olympic Committee. Cities that want to host the game submit a proposal which the committee examines, and based on a long list of criteria, selects the one they believe is best suited to host the games.

Statford was a good place to choose for the Olympics because it is spacious and it has a n effiecient transport system.

Michael Johnson

was the best ever still keeping the 200m and 400m records.

he broke the 100m record he ran 10.12 running at 40km/h

then 200m with a 19.32

400m 43.49

his 200m and 400m is still standing but whe will see if Usain Bolt can brake the 200m as well and be the fastest 200m sprinter ---- Michael Johnson never held the 100 meter world record even though the split in his world record 200 meter run would have been a world record in the 100. The last athlete to hold the 100 meter and 200 meter world record was Florence Griffith-Joyner of the United States who currently holds the women's 100 meter and 200 meter world records. She ran a world record 21.34 in the 200 at the 1988 Games in Seoul and a world record 10.49 in the 100 at the 1988 US Olympic trials on July 16, 1988. Michael Johnson never held the 100 meter world record even though the split in his world record 200 meter run would have been a world record in the 100. At the 2008 Games in Beijing, Usain Bolt ran a 9.69 in the 100 and a 19.30 in the 200, breaking both men's world records. Currently, both he and Griffith-Joyner hold the world record in the 100 and 200. ---------------------------------------------- Question: Who was the last man to hold both the 100m and 200m world records at the same time? Answer: It was Ray Norton of the United States. On April 18, 1959 he tied the world record of 10.1 in the 100m in San Jose, California, USA. Then on April 30, 1960 he tied the world record of 20.6 in the 200m in Philadelphia, United States. Therefore on April 30, 1960 he held world records in both the 100m and 200m. Since then no man has held the world records in the 100m and 200m at the same time, until Usain Bolt in 2008. Almost 50 years later! Bolt set world records of 9.69 in the 100m and 19.30 in the 200m at the Olympic Games in Beijing China in August of 2008. -Asad Raza
