in the olympics if there is a 2 person luge, and they win does their country get 1 medal or 2 medals?

james,\n\nA country wins ONE medal for each event.  If there are say, two members to a team, ex. two-person luge, each member will get a gold medal.  Statistically however, one medal per event.

It's a little hard to judge that.  Many teams come from different regions of countries, and usually it's the country, not the particular team, that receives the credit for winning.  The United States has won 26 titles, Chinese Tapei 17, and Japan 4.  No SPECIFIC team has won it more than twice.

Yes, each of the memeber the winning team recieves a medal.\nRanaldo recieved a world cup medal in 1994 even though he didnot participate in a single match.\n\n*** Refering to answer #4, New Castle will recieve compensation from the FA (englands football association).

I would guess the U.S. will get around 25 - 30 medals total including Gold, Silver, and Bronze.\nThere are 252 total medals to be awarded:\nALPINE SKIING - 30\nBIATHLON - 30\nBOBSLED - 9\nCROSS-COUNTRY SKIING - 36\nCURLING - 6\nFIGURE SKATING - 12\nFREESTYLE SKIING - 12\nICE HOCKEY - 6\nLUGE - 9\nNORDIC COMBINED - 9\nSHORT TRACK - 24\nSKELETON - 6\nSKI JUMPING - 9\nSNOWBOARDING - 18\nSPEED SKATING - 36

The most likely candidate to top the medals table in Turin is Germany (but you cannot rule out the Austrians, Americans or Russians)

Some folks aren't READING your question.\n\nThe Record for most MEDALS in one games belongs to Michael Phelps of the US who won 8 medals (6 gold, 2 bronze; 4 individual gold, 2, relay gold, one individual bronze and one relay bronze). This record is lessened a bit by the fact that Phelps swam in the preliminary heat but not the final of the 4x100 m medley relay, yet because of rule changes, is still awarded a medal.)\n\nThis tied the Record of 8 medals by Alexander Dityatin, a gymnast in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, when he won 3 golds, 4 silver and one bronze medal. But this was a boycotted games, so the impact of that feat was also lessened\n\nMark Spitz won 7 GOLD medals at the 1972 Munich Olympic games (5 individual and 2 relay medals), all in WR time, so I'd still say that Spitz's effort was still superior if no longer the "record"

On winning a  medal they'll get another presented on the podium. The could get more if after winning like track & field events they are thrown to them from the stadium.

Group A: Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. \n\nGroup B: Sweden, Slovakia, USA, Russia, Latvia and Kazakhstan. \n\nRules:\n\nIn the Olympics, tied playoff games are followed by ten minutes of sudden death overtime.

The Olympic Games offer no prize money for winning any medals.\n\nThat being said, several countries have traditionally offered cash prizes to members of their teams that medal, not to mention the cash benefits of sponsorship offers many athletes who win gold will receive.

Other than the trophy, every member of the squad and coaching staff get medals.\n\nFIFA also award money to the teams who participate in the World Cup. The further you get the more money you receive, with obviously the winner getting the most.
