When was dodgeball introduced to the Olympics?
No. While there has been discussion about adding dodge ball as an Olympics sport, it will not be played in the 2008 Olympics.
Answer 2Dodgeball will not ever be played in the Olympics because there is no single standard of play throughout the world. In the US alone there are over 5 major types of play. at least 3 in japan and the eastern world all in which vary very heavily from each other.
Also under Olympic consideration is that a sport has to illustrate longevity in popularity of play over many countries: it is not sufficient that it be merely a 3 or 5 year fad, for instance, with a diminishing following, when considered worldwide. A sport has to illustrate solid growth over a lengthy time period. Even with that having been considered in times past, there have still been many sports that have come and faded from the Olympic arena over the decades. I'm sure the committee would want to avoid such repeats in future, and be careful what sports they actually include. - Deni

Which Athletes have competed in the most Olympic Games?
The actual answer is 'Captain Canada' Ian Millar, who is savouring his 10th Summer Olympics in London 2012. He was 25 years old when he first took part in the Olympics at 25 in 1972. At 65 years old this may unfortunately be this talented equestrian's last trip to the Olympics; but I for one hope that he continues and ends up as also the oldest person to compete in the Olympics! He'd only have to compete in 2 more Olympic Games to get that title as well!

How do you win a modern pentathlon?
Score the most points combined in each of the 10 events. You get points based on the performance in those events based on an IAAF scoring table currently updated in 1985. To win you need to figure out how to build a body that can sprint, jump and throw weights (among other things) well simultaneously. Usually a winner is an exceptional overall athlete but not necessarily a specialist in any of them. Occasionally a great decathlete can also be a top athlete in a specialty event as well, but that is rare.
Why are there two bronze medals in judo?
In boxing, if one of the semi-final losers is knocked out, he can't box
again for a certain time period as a safety precaution, and it
wouldn't be fair to take away his chance at a bronzemedal just
because his semi-final opponent was so much better than the others,in all other
cases the losing semifinalists both get a bronze in Olympics and other games because ,
there are no qualifying events before the main events .
