Olympics

Olympic National Park is a very unique place. Sitting on near the most north west point of the US. It has immense mountains and a coastal rain forest at the same time. These unique places have been reserved for generations to enjoy as a National Park.

The olympics is only once every 4 years. Therefore an athelete will only be able to compete in about 3 in their sporting career. Also the olympics is the best in the world coming together to compete so if you win a medal you are either 3rd 2nd or the best in the world at that event.

Shawn Johnson only went to one Olympics as a competitor (2008 Beijing Olympics). She made a comeback and tried to make it to the London 2012 Olympics but she made the choice to retire just before the USA Olympic Trials due to a knee injury.

The inspiration of the Olympics was to honer the Roman God Zeus

Yes it should the world feels they did an excellent job and they should be proud of the accomplishment. The 2012 Olympic used a mixture of new venues, existing and historic facilities, and temporary facilities. After the Games, some of the new facilities will be reused in their Olympic form, while others will be resized or relocated. Transport for London (TfL) carried out numerous improvements in preparation for 2012. More than 10,000 athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated. The Games received widespread acclaim for their organisation, with the volunteers, the British military, and public enthusiasm praised particularly highly. The opening ceremony, directed by Danny Boyle, also received near-universal acclaim.

There aren't records because in different places the courses are different lengths and have different corners and hills and things so there can't be a record for bobsleigh on the whole, but places probably have there own records but not very many people know them.

Typically female sprinters will request a male guide because males can typically run faster than males, so they won't be slowed down.

you have to be a really good player of that sport or hobby . you just don't send in a letter to them and ask to be in the olympics. some one would be stupid to do that if your not the best.

That is the weirdest answer I have ever seen. I'll try and improve it though.

I think you have to be, not just confident in your abilities, and highly skilled, but also prepared to give up and sacrifice a lot in your life (junk food, free time, parties, etc.) to make it to the top.

I would recommend that you join a good athletics club. It doesn't matter if you haven't chosen an event yet, I would think coaches at the club can guide you to realize the extent of your abilities.

Beyond that, I grow less sure, but I assume that if you show promise and skill in your chosen event/s, you will be notified of Olympic trials. If not, you might be chosen for regional/national teams, etc.

Good luck!
