If you watch Cool Runnings, it explains it all. One to steer, one to break, and the other two help it to start, and add weight to the sled.

Only one of their athletes qualified, and the country decided to not send a one man team.\n\n"Mexico will not be sending any athletes to the 2006 Winter Olympics. The Bobsleigh team and the Skeleton team both failed to qualify for the games. Alpine skiier Hubertus von Hohenloh had gained enough World Cup points to qualify for the Olympics, but the Mexico National Olympic Committee decided not to send a one man team to the Games.[1]"

I do not think so.  Those falls rarely happen, especially in the ice-dancing category.  It is possible they all had a bad evening.

There are six people on one side, plus a goalkeeper. They are arranged three people near the goal and three people closer to the halfway point (when on offense). Of course the goal keeper tends to stay in the goal!\n\nThere can be more people on a team, just depending at which level you are playing. But only seven in at a time, and you can sub when you need to.

I think its really awesome, since so many other American people have gotten themselves injured or just didn't do as well. People like Bode Miller and the speed skater Ohno. At least the US dominates in snowboarding!

All three of the top 3 skaters were so close entering the long program.  Any one of them could have won the gold -- they were all incredibly talented in my opinion.  Arakawa was the only skater who had a clean program without a fall\nso she didn't have a deduction for that.  She skated a beautiful and elegant program, I believe.

From www.olympic.org:\n\nEddie Eagan (USA-bobsleigh and boxing) achieved a unique feat by winning gold medals in both summer and winter sports. In 1920, he won the light-heavyweight boxing championship. Twelve years later, he reappeared at the Winter Olympics and won the four-man bobsleigh event.

why are you asking this in winter sports?
137111
the reason why they call it winter olympics is because of the figure skating, snowboarding, skiing, curling, and luge. They have to have it in the winter so the snowboarders and skiers have snow. And those are sports in the winter and for example, they take the best winter athlete's out of the X Games and put them in the winter olmpics and put them in the country they were born in,that shound explain why they call it the winter olympics.
