Olympic History

Yes, the most recent death was Luger Nodar Kumaristashvili, who died in a practice run before the 2010 winter Olympic games officially started.

British heptathlete Denise Lewis has won two medals in Olympic competition, a bronze at the 1996 Games in Atlanta and a gold at the 2000 Games in Sydney. She has also won 2 silver medals in World Championship competition, 2 gold medals in Commonwealth Games competition, and a gold medal in European Championship competition.

She won the 800m run and 1500m run at the 2004 Olympics.

The number of times Kobe Bryant has won silver at the Olympics is not the question we should be asking ourselves here, a more acceptable question would be:

-"Where are the Weet-Bix? I can't find them!"

-"Why are there strange people in my cuboard?"

-"How can I get rid of my crabs? My father gave them to me whilst we were enjoying a loving weekend together."

Next time, please think before you speak, stupid questions, such as the one you asked, don't deserve to be answered. You are lucky that I, being such a kind human, have andswered your questions, as most people would ignore such stupidity.

Pierre De Coubertin(1863,1,1~1937,9,2) is known as father of modern olympics. He was born in a French noble family. He occupied the position of the chairman of IOC[International Olympic Committee], was also the designer of the symbol and flag of olympics.

I think you may be mixing up two different Alpine Skiing events.

Giant Slalom is a course where gates are more spread out. Two vertical poles with a net in between generally make up one gate.

Slalom courses are closer together, with one vertical pole making up each turn/gate.

In Giant Slalom, a racer may hit the gate with their hip or pole, usually when in a tuck.

In Slalom, skiiers cross-block gates with their poles or shins as they are finding a shorter line and setting up their next turn.

Not the best answer, but close enough.

The Olympics started giving out gold medals in 1904 to first-place winners. When the Olympics began in 1896, the awards given to first-place winners were silver medals and those in second place received bronze medals. In the next Olympics of 1900, winners got trophies instead of medals.

Canada spent about 1.5 billion Canadian dollars

Well, first of all the Olympics are an international sporting event that has been around since 776 BC! The Olympic flame is lit by reflecting the rays of the sun off a parabolic mirror onto a torch a few weeks before each Games. It's been all over the world and really is one of the best things that unites the world as it symbolizes the Olympics and represents peace, unity, friendship, and brotherhood.

The torch relay is where people, also known as torchbearers, carry the Olympic flame by torch through the country that is hosting the Olympics. The flame travels from Greece to the host country, then travels around the country ending its journey when the Olympic cauldron is lit during the opening ceremony, and it stays lit until the closing ceremony.
