On February 22, 2002, Wayne Gretzky made history as the architect of Canada's first gold medal in Olympic men's hockey in 50 years. It proved that three years after retirement, "The Great One's" contribution to the game and country he loves is not over.\n\nGretzky was only ten years old when his talent as the defenceman-winger-centre for the Brantford Nadrofsky Steelers caught the attention of Toronto Telegram sportswriter John Iaboni. His story about the prolific 369-goal scorer turned out to be a glimpse of what was in store for the greatest hockey player to lace up a pair of skates. \n\nGretzky was born on January 26, 1961. By age two his father and "greatest coach," Walter already had his son on skates. By the time he joined the Nadrofsky Steelers, he already had a reputation of carving out scoring opportunities against players twice his age and taller than his modest height.\n\nAt 15, he joined the Ontario Hockey Association, turning professional two years later as an underage junior with the Indianapolis Racers in the now defunct World Hockey Association (WHA). He only played eight games for the Racers (chalking up three goals and three assists) before being traded to the WHA's Edmonton Oilers where he was named WHA Rookie of the Year.\n\nIn 1979, the Edmonton Oilers entered the National Hockey League (NHL). Gretzky remained in Edmonton nine seasons, leading the Oilers to four Stanley Cups, and helping to build hockey's strongest franchise of the 1980s.\n\nNot surprisingly, Gretzky's trade to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988 made front-page news and topped all national newscasts. Gretzky was the ambassador of hockey; the struggling Kings needed to fill seats, and the NHL wanted to promote its game in the United States.\n\nSince joining the NHL, Gretzky has had more impact on the record book than any other player. By the time he retired, The Great One held over 60 NHL records and most of the sport's prestigious hardware, including nine Hart Trophies for most valuable player and five Lester B. Pearson Trophies for MVP as voted by other players.\n\nHis most cherished record, however, came on October 25, 1989, when he scored two goals and an assist to surpass the all-time points record set by his hero, Gordie Howe.\n\nWayne Gretzky retired from professional hockey as a New York Ranger on April 18, 1999. In addition to the NHL, and his considerable charity work, he has made Canadians proud on the world stage - particularly as Executive Director of Team Canada for the 2002 Winter Olympics. Additionally, Gretzky is part owner of the Phoenix Coyotes.\n\nCanada's Walk of Fame Trivia:\nWayne Gretzky's first jersey was No. 9 after his hockey hero, Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings.

I think the new points system put Sasha Cohen as the silver medalist.  Any other Olympics she probably would have brought home Bronze with 2 falls, and Irina Slutskaya would have grabbed Silver.  I think Sasha is a great skater and I am proud of her. ... of them all!

It was indeed very impressive. As to getting a recording that could be a bit on the tricky side. The only thing I can suggest is contacting either your local television network, the Turin 2006 Organising Commitee or the IOC.

I love figure skating. The skaters are in great shape and are very athletic. Plus, I admire the way they get up and continue a routine even after they have fallen and messed up their chances of winning. That takes fortitude and guts.\n\nHave to call them as I see them.

There is no official limit, but it depends on how many events their particular specialty contains.  For example a swimmer (Mark Spitz for example) could win oh i don't know 8 gold medals.  A track athlete can win as many medals as events he can enter.  But someone like a figure skater, who pretty much can enter only one event can only win the one gold.

Yeah, he is. He was a champion player and brought Brazil to the world stage with grace and style. He achieved all this without the loads of training, financial backing and expertise that drives the game now. He was a pleasure to watch and a nice man to boot.
