Whilst this is not a definitive answer, I doubt New Zealand has the capacity or the Infrastructure, let alone the facilities to cope with the event and its influx of people. Soon New Zealand will host the Rugby World Cup, and upgrading stadiums etc to cope with this has, and continues to be, problematic. New Zealand is not big enough to host the Olympics. We dont want it here anyway. We only have 4 million people here and more than that would come to watch. New Zealand can't host the Olympic Games because it is way to small, and there isn't enough accomodation or facilities for all the athletes. Also if too many people came to New Zealand, everyone would see how beautiful it is and we would become overpopulated and we don't want that =]

None.

South Africa sent three athletes to compete in Alpine Skiing, Cross Country Skiing, and Skeleton at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin. Tyler Botha finished 21st in skeleton, Alex Heath's best finish was 27th in men's giant slalom alpine skiing, and Oliver Kraas' best finish was 57th in men's sprint cross country skiing.

The Olympic motto, 'Citius, Altius, Fortius' which in English means 'Faster, Higher, Stronger', was adopted at the 1894meeting in which the International Olympic Committee was formed.

No. The Olympic Games have never been held on the African continent. South Africa is the only country in Africa with anything like the infrastructure and resources necessary to host the Games. South Africa hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup successfully, a milestone which came only a year after the transition to democracy. Cape Town failed in 1997 to win its bid for the 2004 Olympic Games. It is a sad fact that Africa is unlikely to host the Games for a long time. Competition to host the Games is always fierce and South Africa's major weaknesses are a high crime rate and lack of economic clout. Crime in particular has been touted by nations competing with South Africa as a reason not to hold the Games there.

"Citius, Altius, Fortius" translates to "Swifter, Higher, Stronger."

I am not so sure what it actually means but I was hoping that someone could help me with it. Thanks Karasia x

No, Hip Hop is a style of music. It is not a sport, much less an Olympic sport.

The Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016 will be the first ever Olympics held in South America.

African Americans were linked with Communists.

The most successful Olympics was Los Angeles in 1984, where NZ won eight gold medals (and a total of 11) and finished 8th on the medal table. However, since these Olympics were boycotted by the USSR and the GDR among other nations this total was arguably inflated.

The most successful other than this was Seoul in 1988 where 13 medals (including 3 gold) were won.

they vary. In Grand Prix they can go all the way up to about 5'3". For little shows they can only go up to about 4'3". Depending on which show you go to they vary from what the course designer puts them at.

The medal round of the ice hockey competition at the 1980 Winter Games was not a single elimination round. The composite record against each of the other 3 teams in the medal round was used to determine the medal winners. Because Finland's record in the medal round was 0-2-1 for 1 point, they did not win a medal.

Had Finland defeated the United States in the final game of the tournament, the Soviet Union would have won gold, with a record of 2-1-0 for 4 points, and the United States and Finland would have tied for the silver with a record of 1-1-1 for 3 points.

The 1912 Summer Olympics were held in Stockholm, Sweden and the equestrian events of the 1956 Summer Games were also held in Stockholm.

Once, the 1998 Games in Nagano. Canada finished fourth in those Games.

South Africa won 5 medals (3 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze) at the 1996 Games in Atlanta:

1) Penny Heyns - gold in women's 100 meter breaststroke and gold in women's 200 meter breaststroke.

2) Josia Thugwane - gold in men's marathon.

3) Hezekiel Sepeng - silver in men's 800 meter run.

4) Marianne Kriel - bronze in women's 100 meter backstroke.

They both have sporting events even though they have different ones, also they give out medals to the winners. Female athletes did not compete during the 1896 games. The olympic motto was still faster, higher, stronger although in latin which it was originally said in was citius, altius, forties.

• Dai Xiaoxiang from China won the Bronze Medal in Men's Individual Archery at the 2012 London Olympics
• Yuliya Zaripova from Russia won the Gold Medal in Women's 3000 metres Steeplechase at the 2012 London Olympics

India finished at position 55 in the medals table. They won no gold, but gained two silver, and four bronze medals. See the related link to Wikipedia for a full list of the medal counts for the participating countries.

The Olympic motto is "Citius, Atius, Fortius" which is Latin for "Swifter, Higher, Stronger."
