Olympics

The athletes get free shoes and clothing from different brands. The yellow shoes are Nike and are made to custom fit each individual athletes feet by Nike labs & engineering. Nike makes sponsorship deals with all types of athletes from all countries of the world. Some are really small deals that just include a few pairs of shoes and clothing for the athlete and some are large deals that include millions of dollars with shoes and clothing but most are somewhere in between. After all, the marketing department at Nike wants publicity and all the yellow shoes on 90% of the best athletes in world at the most world watched event is a pretty good way to get it!! The "yellow" on the shoes is 100% marketing!!

Through the 2006 Games in Turin, the men's team has won 2 gold medals (1994, 2006).

Only in the Summer Games. 2000 Sydney Olympics was the first and it was the most watched olympic even of the games that year only behind the opening and closing ceremonies.

Shooting events in the Olympics are oriented around precision. Machine guns are inherently not precise weapons.

It depends on whether or not your asthma is controlled.

Your asthma is probably under control if:
>You can be active daily and sleep through the night
>You use your quick relief medicine fewer than 2 times per week
>You do not cough, wheeze, or feel short of breath

A sign that your asthma is not under control is if you've been to the emergency room recently due to asthma.

Talk to your doctor about controlling your asthma. There are plenty of preventative medications out there for asthma, including preventative inhalers and allergy pills (if needed). If a certain medication doesn't work for you, go back to your doctor and tell him/her. Keep going back until you've found the right medicines that work best for YOU. Sometimes this takes awhile.

Remember: if your asthma is under control, you should be able to do almost anything without your asthma bothering you.

Wherever you're running, have someone else there who at least has a means of contacting an ambulance or EMS if needed. Or, better yet, have paramedics on-site. Most public runs already have this, but if you don't know, contact whoever is in charge.

I've learned that sometimes it's a good idea to take your quick-relief inhaler before you exercise, but ask your doctor about this first. Everyone is different and this may be a bad idea for you.

Have fun and God bless!

Bronze, silver, or gold medals are awarded by the Olympic committee, but various countries offer 'bounties' for medals in various categories. $25,000.00 per gold medal is offered by the US, for example. Getting one's image posted upon untold numbers of boxes of "Wheaties" is, of course, another incentive.

the last Olympics were in 2008.

Wait, who said Mario beat Sonic at anything? And what are 'olimpic' games?

There is no penalty for knocking down a hurdle when attempting to jump over it. Although, I guess there is one penalty and that is the runner will not be as fast because of hitting the hurdle. But a runner will not be disqualified for knocking down a hurdle.

Summer Olympics occur in leap years. If the month of February has 29 days in the year, the Summer Olympics is scheduled to be competed.

I don't know but I have one in perfect condition and it was only worn once by me to carry the torch one kilometre. Just after the 1988 Olympics someone asked for $5000 but I doubt you would get that. Maybe $1000 from someone that really wants one.
