Sheik Ahmed Al Maktoum of the United Arab Emirates has won the first ever Olympic medal for the gulf nation in winning the double trap shooting event.\n\nMaktoum finished tied for 18th in the same event at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, and earlier in the Athens Games had finished 4th in the single trap shooting event.\n\nThe forty year-old Maktoum, is a member of Dubai's ruling family, and was educated in the United States, at Western States University in Phoenix, Arizona.\n\nNewspapers in Australia after the 2000 Sydney games reported that as the Sheik went through the airport in Sydney, he was asked for his flight number by Australian customs. His short answer was reportedly "No number, no airline, my plane." Customs then asked for the registration number of his plane which he didn't have. He then told customs officials that he had five planes, and he just phoned for one of them to come pick him. A 747 showed up to take him home.\n\nUnited Arab Emirates medal history in various games.

Of the sports in the Winter Olympics, I have to admit that skeleton bob is quite mad, but not the maddest. I think that honour has to go to Speed Skiing in Albertville in 1992. It was only a demonstration sport, but the winner was clocked at 212kph (not a sensible speed by any stretch of the imagination)

Justin Gatlin fulfilled his own prediction of breaking the world record for the 100 metres when he ran 9.76sec on may 12, 2006 but his record is  Awaiting Ratification according to the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) That's why the holder of the record is   Asafa Powell .\nSee in\nhttp://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/gender=M/allrecords/discipline=100/index.html

That's not the sort of information that is usually available at a snap. The only thing I can suggest is that you contact people living in past Winter Olympic host cities who were aged between 5 and 13 when the Games where hosted there and ask what influence it had on them.

Cross-country skiing was a major event at the first Winter Olympics, held at Chamonix, France, in 1924. Only men were eligible to participate, however, and the only events were 18km and 50km races. In 1936, a 4x10km mixed relay (2 classical and 2 freestyle legs) was added. Women finally appeared on the scene at the 1952 Winter Games in Oslo, in a 10km classical race.

An Olympic legend, American discus thrower Al Oerter was the first track and field athlete to win four successive Olympic titles, a feat since equalled only by Carl Lewis in the long jump. Oerter took the gold medal in the discus in 1956, 1960, 1964 and 1968, setting a new Olympic record on each occasion, although he was never the favourite to win the event. His third victory in 1964 was remarkable for the fact that he overcame the handicap of neck and rib injuries, but still managed to set a career best. He also won the Pan-American title in 1959 and set four world records, the first of which in 1962 gave him the distinction of being the first man to record a legal throw of over 200 feet (60.96 metres). Oerter retired after the 1968 Olympics but returned to full-time competition in 1977 with the goal of making the 1980 Olympics and winning a fifth gold medal. He finished 5th at the TAC Championships in 1979 and 6th in 1980. His comeback was derailed by the 1980 Olympic boycott by the United States, but Oerter did post the longest throw in the world in 1980.:-)
