Mike P asked:


I think I saw someone from another country out of focus on the edge of screen during one of the US girl’s floor routines, but that’s about it.

I swear from this coverage you’d think the USA and China are the only teams competing.
Yeah, I understand they are going to focus on American athletes, I just didn’t quite anticipate how much.

Back in Australia we would definitely see far more actual EVENTS with Australians in them than without, but when they were on you’d get to see pretty much everyone who was competing.

Jel asked:


I have a homework assignment where I have to find the number of Olympic medals awarded to the country of my choice in the past 5 winter olympics. I have chosen Switzerland.

I need to find a website that tells how many Winter Olympics medals Switzerland has won.

I found some on Wikipedia but I do not know if those are accurate…… can someone tell me that?

Edward K asked:


Many sport players complain about very bad smog in the summer olympics in China in 2008. They are very angry about that China wants to keep summer olympic in 2008 because they said they heard about many people get cancer and sick from smog in China.

presidentrichardnixon asked:


For example, Michael Phelps eats 8000-12000 calories a day depending on which source I read. Lets suppose it’s 10,000 per day, and the recommended daily allowance for much of the population is 2000 per day, then does Michael Phelps also eat 5x the saturated fat, 5x the sodium, 5x vitamin A, etc?
Can anyone actually read the question correctly before answering?

Cougar J asked:


If Michael Phelps swam his 200 M Free or say some other stroke without the body suit, would he complete it less faster?

Has there been scientific tests to prove that body suits make you faster?
