Olympics

Unfortunately, no it is not currently. There has been some talk of it being in the future though and i sure hope it is!

There was no Olympics in 1940 due to World War II. There was no Olympics in 1944 due to World War II. Also, there was no Olympics in 1916 due to World War I.

There will not be a 2018 Summer Olympics. The year 2018 will be for the Winter Olympics which have not confirmed a host yet.

It can vary a lot. The average professional road race will be from 120km - 180km. That is for something like the Tour de France or any other tour. There are also one-day specials like: Paris Roubaix, which is a 250km race over the hard cobblestones of France. It goes for 5 hours.

The summer olympics are held every 4 years, same with the winter, but they alternate, so that the summer olympics is in 2000 and the winter olympics is in 2002. Then that means the next summer olympics is in 2004 and the next winter is in 2006. I hope this answers your Question

An Olympics 'demonstration sport' was an event that was not played/competed to win medals but played/competed in the hopes of the event gaining popularity and possibly being added to the Olympics as a medal sport sometime in the future.

Demonstration sports were discontinued in the Olympics after the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona.

Demonstration sports that eventually became medal sports include baseball, taekwondo, and badminton. Baseball was a demonstration sport in four Olympics (1912, 1936, 1964, 1988) before becoming a medal sport in 1992. Badminton was a demonstration sport in 1972 and 1988 before becoming a medal sport in 1992.

Other demonstration sports that did not become medal sports include water skiing (1972), bowling (1988), and roller hockey (1992).

The first Olympic Games were held in Greece.

No. The last olympic medal that was real gold was awarded in 1912. Now, silver medals are silver and gold medals are made of just about 93% silver. However, the gold medal needs to be plated or coated with at least 6 grams of real gold based on Standards.

Olympic athletes do not get paid for the medals they win. They do not receive pay for participating.

U.S. medalists receive cash prizes from the U.S. Olympic committee. Gold medal winners receive $25,000, silver medal winners receive $15,000, and bronze medal winners receive $10,000.

You probably can't just bring the Olympics to your city. There is probably a group who choses where the Olympics are staged next.

The national government never did itemized the total cost, but there are some private estimates that suggest up to 30 million 1936 dollars.

The United States of America won the the Summer Olympics in 2008 with 93 medals. However, the people's Republic of China won the most gold with 46 gold medals.

Winter Olympics: The highest was 36 made by Germany - but the United States just beat it by winning their 37th medal in hockey! (Unfortunately, it was only silver. But after all, we were guaranteed a medal in hockey anyway!)

Hope that answers your question!

Olympic game host cities are allocated based on the merits of the application and how recently the nation has hosted a games. That is to say, a city will not be allocated a games if the country that it is in has recently hosted a games.

Since the allocation is based on country and not continent, the fact that European countries have hosted more is of little relevance.

A simple factor may be that Europe has more countries with a suitable climate and the capacity to host a game than any other continent.
