Why do Olympic rules allow only two competitors per country for individual swimming events?
Each nation is allowed to enter a maximum of two swimmers in each individual event or one relay in a relay event. The numbers are limited to provide an opportunity for each country to participate and still be able to conduct the swim meet in a reasonable period of time.
What is the value of the 6 grammes of gold in an Olympic gold medal?
Gold is commonly valued by the ounce.
There are 28.3495231 grams (or grammes) in one ounce.
Olympic gold medals are silver coated with at least 6 grams of gold.
At the current price of about US$1827 an ounce, the value of 6 grams would be US$386.67.
Gold and silver prices change several times a day, and might be much more or much less than the prices above.
But an Olympic gold medal has a value to collectors that far exceeds the intrinsic value of the gold and silver it contains.
Depending on the athlete and the date, it might be any value up to priceless.
