The five continents that join together to participate in the Olympic games. (The Americas were considered one continent, Antarctica was omitted.) The colors represent the colors used in all nations flags at the time (1913). No ring or color individually identifies any one continent.

I believe that what you are asking about is the ice hockey final in the Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, NY in 1980, when USA defeated the overwhelming favorite Soviet Union in what has become known as "the Miracle on Ice"

There are 204 nations, countries, or National Olympic Committees as they are called

Australian women first competed in the Olympics at the 1912 Games in Stockholm. Fanny Durack and Mina Wylie were allowed to compete in swimming provided they paid their own expenses to and from the Games and while at the Games. Durack won gold in the 100 meter freestyle and Wylie won silver in the 100 meter freestyle.

There are four runners per team who compete in a relay. However, teams always have alternates (back ups) in case of an injury or drop out.

Mary Lou Retton was the star of the 1984 Summer Olympics. The Summer Olympics were held in the city of Los Angeles that year.

In 1986 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) changed its charter to allow "all the world's great male and female athletes to participate." * Therefore, it was after this date that professional athletes began to compete in the olympics.* http://www.pbs.org/newshour/forum/july96/olympics_7-23.html

Conventionally, the ancient Olympic games began in 776 B.C.,

the origins of the ancient Olympics go back to a time that is not well-documented, and so the actual date of the first Olympics is disputed.

To reduce air resistance caused by her running. Instead of a t-shirt and shorts flapping in the wind, the suit stayed in place and didn't move. It's hard to say how much time she gained, if any, but nobody complained about it.

( at least 16 for all sports, some, such as Marathon, (20) are higher)

I think the minimum age requirement to join Olympic game is 16 and up. But still depends on what sports they are competing. There are some Junior and Senior Division if needed.

An Olympic curling game is separated into 10 rounds called "ends." An end is complete when all 16 stones (8 for each team) have come to rest. The score for that end is then taken. Whichever team is closest to the center of the house (the scoring area that looks like a target) scores. The amount of points they get is equal to the number of stones they have that are closer to the center than the opponent's closest. A couple of examples: if red has 3 stones in the house and yellow has none, then red scores 3. If red has 5 stones in the house--one of them being the closest--but yellow has a stone that is closer than 4 of the red stones, then red only scores 1.
