Olympics

Tennis has been competed in 13 Olympic Games (1896-1924 and 1988-2008). The players with the most gold medals are Reginard Doherty of Great Britain and Venus Williams of the United States, each with 3. Doherty won gold in men's doubles and mixed doubles at the 1900 Games in Paris and in men's doubles at the 1908 Games in London. Williams won gold in women's singles and doubles at the 2000 Games in Sydney and women's doubles at the 2008 Games in Beijing.

Yes.

Prior to the 2010 Games, Japan has won 32 medals (9 gold, 10 silver, 13 bronze) in the Winter Olympics. The sports Japan has won the most medals in is speed skating (12, 1 gold, 3 silver, 8 bronze) and ski jumping (9, 3 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze).

No. If you use it without permission, the International Olympic Committee will send a squad of assassins to ensure that you do not repeat your mistake.

Munich, 1972, and Atlanta, 1996, were the cities and years of the Olympic Games that had terrorist disturbances.

The 1940 Winter Olympics, which would have been officially known as the V Olympic Winter Games, were to be celebrated in 1940 in Sapporo, Japan, but the games were eventually cancelled due to the onset of World War II.

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!

The first commonwealth games (British Empire Games) were held in 1930, the sports included were: * Athletics * Boxing * Diving * Lawn Bowls * Rowing * Swimming * Wrestling

Go to www.dotshotbasketball.com to find out how shooting sleeves can improve your accuracy. The DotShot is a patent pending shooting aid endorsed by hall of famer, Rick Barry, and uses "DOTS" to help players shoot with proper alignment and proper arc. Ingenious!

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.

Once you reach a high level of compatition in speed skating, you do whats called "Single Distance Championships". This is when a person only competes in his/her best distance, Some people do more than one distance, but many perfer to just focouson one.

Therefore there is no one winner for 1990, there would be winners for both male and female, and for every distance. There is the 500m, 1000m, 1500m and 3K races, there may be more but those are the basic and most common ones.

An olympian can win a gold(1st), silver(2nd),or bronze(3rd) medal.

This depends on the discipline. Thoroughbred racehorses are backed, or taught to wear a saddle, as yearlings and raced as two-year-olds. Most people frown on this because it causes the horses to wear up and die young. Dressage, show jumping, eventing etc. requires more intensive training, and a seven or eight year old horse is only at the beginning of his career. (By this age a successful racehorse would have been retired from racing and used exclusively for breeding for several years). Haute ecole, or high school, horses must be trained for even longer. These 'performing horses' are not often competed with and are usually seen in public demonstrations of horsemanship. The most famous haute ecole establishment is the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, responsible for making Lipizanners famous. Difficult dressage manouvres such as the piaffe, capriole and levade take many years to teach to a horse, and haute ecole horses only start performing around age 13.

The skeleton race is one of three sled races in the Olympics. The other two are the bobsled and the luge. In the bobsled race, two to four people sit in a sled and steer their way down a course. In the luge, the rider lies face up with his or her feet going down the course first. In the skeleton, the slider lies face down on the sled. The rider goes head first down the course.

The name comes from the fact that the first metal sled used for racing looked like a skeleton.

A skeleton sled is just three feet long. When a rider jumps on the skeleton, he or she is face down, in most cases, a rider's chin is a mere two inches from the ice. There is no steering to steer they just shift their weight side to side.

The event made its first Olympic appearance in 1928 at the St. Moritz Winter Games.

To win a medal in the skeleton event, you must make two runs down to course in one day. The times are combined after the two runs. Thee fastest combined times are awarded medals.

The skeleton is unique in that you can get off the sled during the run if it is necessary. The only rule is that you must be on the sled when it crosses the finish line.

From everything I have read it appears that pro sports teams in the US are self governed by their league (NFL, MLB, NBA, etc.) The government only gets involved if there is a claim of game fixing for gambling purposes. However manipulating the outcome of a game for entertainment or advertising purposes is legal. Read an interesting article by clicking on the link below.

Two were canceled (1942 and 1946) and Germany was banned from international sport so couldn't compete in the 1950 tournament.

Five sports from the Summer Olympic Games are swimming, gymnastics (artistic and rhythmic), volleyball, fencing, and rowing. There were 26 sports in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, and there will be 28 in the 2016 Games.

They have been asked many times, but both say no. I believe them.
