I have no idea but if you want to join I think you should start practicing for what you would like to do like figure skating or somthing.

Well, first off, I would assume these positions are only required during the period the games are underway.\n\n- The hosting nation would most likely be the employer. The amount needed would likely depend on the number of languages requiring translation, and in many cases, one would assume the member nations would have some of their own.\n\n- I also believe your chances would be greater if you spoke a less common language, but it never hurts to check.\n\nSince the next games are in China 2008, you could apply to become a volunteer. Hopefully you speak Mandarin or Cantonese....

You're not a failure.  You succeeded in sticking with something and giving it your best shot.  Plus you probably managed to keep yourself in very good shape which is a difficult enough thing to do nowadays.  There are so few places available for people to compete in the Olympics.  Just being close to qualifying puts you at a very high level of achievement compared to the average Joe.  Be proud of your accomplishments and use what you have learned from these in the other areas of your life.  The Olympics is not the only measure of a man (or woman).

Train at Bashghahe Enghelab and tryout for the national team or the olympics, if you're good enough.

In order to be in the games, it must be "practised by men in at least seventy-five countries and on four continents".\n\nAre there 75 countries where you can surf?\n\nAnother problem would be finding a venue for the event that is close to the host city. Not a whole lot of surfing going on near Beijing or London.

I attended a couple of events at the Salt Lake City games in 2002.  I think each different Olympic city/games offers the tickets in different ways.  For the SLC games all of the ticket sales were done online.  The Salt Lake Olympic Committee (SLOC) had a website the manage everything from ticket sales to volunteers.  My recommendation would be to keep track of the events you want to attend and watch for the tickets to go on sale.  \n\nBe prepared to shell out big bucks for high profile events like figure skating final, opening or closing ceremonies or a medal hockey game.  If you're simply a fan of the Olympics and don't care what you get to see, then you will be able to get some reasonable rates.  Once you have your tickets then you can book your flights and rooms around that.  But again, be prepared to shell out bucks for a hotel.  They raise their rates for the Olympics and the closer the hotel is to a venue, the more they charge.  \n\nOverall, it's worth the money and the hastle.  I was lucky enough to live down the road from many of the events in SLC but would gladly pay to travel.  Good luck and enjoy your Olympic experience.

Junior Olympics are amateur sports competition.  Ages 11 or 12 to 18.  You should sign up with a gymnastics team that is participating in AAU meets.

To leap to a conclusion like that, you must be an incredible athlete.  You should try out for the Olympic conclusion-jumping team.

there are soccer being contested in the Olympics, currently 16 teams will be played in the Olympics.\n\nqualification will be similar to the World Cup where respective confederations will be allocated their berth, host nation will get the automatic berth.\n\nthe Olympic soccer event is only restricted to under 23-squad but 3 player over 23 can be included in the squad.\n\nARGENTINA won the last summer Olympics soccer final in 2004 beating PARAGUAY in the final. Ironically, this is ARGENTINA's 1st first gold medal & PARAGUAY's first silver medal in the competition.\n\nBRAZIL may have won the World Cup 5 times but they have yet to win the elusive gold medal in Olympics soccer event. they have only won silver medal in 1988 losing to Soviet Union.
