Anyone who can get throught the Olympic trials to be able to even get to the Olympics is awesome!   He has MANY World records and is there.. Hummm.. Makes him awesome to me...\n\nSuggestion:  You compete against him and win.  I would put major money on the fact you can't!

I'm sorry to give you the bad news - I do not believe that these are accessible online.\n\nWebsites such as:\n\nhttp://www.databaseolympics.com/\nhttp://www.olympic.org/uk/games/past/index_uk.asp?OLGT=1&OLGY=1948\n\ngive you the medal winners.\n\nI think that you have 2 options: Try to contact someone who has the (paper) results or find a library copy of a UK paper from 1948.\n\nFor the former, I suggest that you try the British Olympic Association (http://www.olympics.org.uk/index.asp) or the National Union of Track Statisticians (http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~rsparks/nuts.htm)\n\nFor the latter, you will probably find the full results in The Times.\n\nBest of luck!\n\nHugh.

There does not appear to be a published (at least on the web) list that shows the number of participants by country, but the site below does list the competing nations as well as the the total number of competitors...\n\nThere is a published book called "Complete Book of the Summer Olympics" by David Wallenchinsky. Published by Natl Book Network. You might find this in the sports section of your local book store or library, and this has the complete listing of nations taking part along with competitors, but not by nation either, just total

You need a lot of things behind you to win an Olympic bid.\n \nBriefly they are:\nA good organizing & bid comittee to lobby the IOC. Political & public support in your city. Support from large industries and business in your city and in your country that want to host an Olympics.\nYou need to have good event facilities or plans to build such facilities.\nYou also need an international airport nearby and have good road and rail transport systems.\nOh and have an established pashion for sport in your country.\nIt is a large team effort that requires unity from many groups within a city. Hope that helps.

Its almost impossible to get them unless you track them down via NBC...the broadcaster of the Olympic games. USA volleyball will not be able to give them to you.

very definitely yes. Could be even sooner in 2016. Leading cities would be New York, Chicago, San Fran, and Philly.\nUSA is very important to the IOC on many levels (brilliant history, avid fan support, money from sponsors, broadcast and marketing, past success at hosting great Games). It seems to me if New York bid again it would be a done deal. The others would launch strong bids and would be worthy hosts. LA, Minneapolis and Houston are also interested but I don't know much about their plans so I have no opininion although all are nice places.\n Also take into account that from 2000 -2012 no summer Games were held in in North America and The IOC likes to spread it around so-to-speak.\n Toronto would be a great contender for North America and competitor to a USA bid but not seen as likely given the 2010 Winter Games are going to be held in amazing Vancouver.\n IOC would love to see a Games in South America and Africa eventually and so would I. My best guess is NYC in 2016 and either Rio or Buenos Aires for 2020. Check out some sources below.\n I live in San Jose but no matter where they are I'll be there.

My daughter went to open try-outs for the women's olympic softball team. Find the officail USA olympic website and sign up for their newsletter-write to them and tell them you want the dates and places for the open try-outs for swimming. They will send you the Minimum requirements you must meet or surpass in order to try out. Open try-out are only held once on the same day in approx. 6 locations in the US so you may have to travel.At least that's how it was for softball. I think we had to pay like $60 to apply but when she got there they were given a uniform so that all the girls looked alike and another tee shirt that said "I tried out for the US women's softball team" It was REALLY a neat experience! Good Luck!

You should have said NO back in 2001 when the IOC voted democratically (one member, one vote except for those IOC members from the countries still in the running) to give the 2008 Games to Beijing. In other words, you've rather missed the boat by about 5 years.

Nope. no city has ever hosted the Summer Olympics after hosting the Winter Olympics and vice versa
