London 2012 Olympics

Final count:

Gold 302, Silver: 304, and Bronze: 356 for total of 962

Note this is count by country not for individual athletes so the total number of medals is much larger because many events (e.g. Football/soccer, archery, etc.) are team events and the entire team got medals.

966 total medals were awarded for the events. There is no total medal count by athlete and only by event because hundreds were passed out for the 36 medals given to winners of just the 6 Men's and Women's Team events in Handball, Indoor Volleyball, Football, Field Hockey, Water Polo, and Basketball. There were 302 Gold Medals 304 Silver Medals and 356 Bronze Medals for the 302 events. Many events did not have Bronze Medal elimination for the semi final losers and both won the bronze Medals while the winners went on play for the Silver and Gold Medal

The USOC sent a total of 539 athletes to the Olympics in London to compete in 25 sports. Handball was the only sport for which the United States had no representation at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

No, as of the 2008 Summer Olympics, cheerleading is not an Olympic event but it is in the running to be one.

nopee....unfortuately not!! but it should be because it is right up there with gymnastics in the competitive and body building sports.

There are rumors going around The Feirce Boards that it will be an exhibition in 2012 and then it will be decided wehter it will be an official olympic sport or not.

There are also some rumors I have heard through friends that pronound cheerleaders Hope Bravo, Meredith Fram, and Kiara Nowlin have their eye on being a part of that team.

The Olympics is every 4 years for over 100 years and the decision would have to be why to cancel it and not why to have it. Twice they cancelled it because of the World Wars. They are already setting up for the final decision on where the Olympics for 2020 will be held ( Istanbul, Tokyo, or Madrid ) and have started the selection process for 2024 with bidding to begin in 2015
