Mostly quartz and orthoclase feldspar. Any number of other minerals can make up the rest.

Ice hockey pucks used in regulation game play are made of vulcanized rubber.  One assumes they're made the way most rubber things are, which is by pouring rubber into a mold, or two molds and then joining the two pieces.  Then they'd probably get stamped with whatever league logo, and packaged.\n\nPucks are an inch thick by three inches across, and are frozen before games to make them easier to control.\n\nThere are different kinds of pucks... weighted practice pucks, junior pucks, and plastic pucks used in street hockey.\n\n\n***\n\n(After realizing I wasn't 100% sure about how even regulation pucks were made, I went and looked the process up and found a very informative site:  http://www.madehow.com/Volume-6/Hockey-Puck.html  Hope that helps!)

No records are kept on the race of the Olympic medal winners.  If you wanted to take the time to look up each one, then you would need to go to the site below and run a series of searches:

In the past, many balls were made of ivory; since the animals that produced this have become endangered species, other materials, such as wood and various plastics have been used.\n\nIn 1865, John Wesley Hyatt patented a composition material resembling ivory (Celluloid) for a billiard ball (US50359), winning $10,000 prize from Phelan and Collender of New York City for the best substitute for ivory. This was the first U.S. patent for billiard balls. Unfortunately, the nature of celluloid gave these billiard balls a tendency to occasionally explode, adding additional spark to the game but ultimately making this first plastic impractical for such use.\n\nModern billiard balls are most often made from phenolic resin.

Because they either wanted a different color from the Yellowish gold medal, Silverish silver medal. So they have a Brownish bronze medal. Or they can't afford some other medal made out of more expensive material.

Well, lets see ... there's plastic, steel, and nylon for sure.  \n\nAnd possibly ...adhesives, polystyrene, paint, glass (this one's a little iffy because it does occur in nature, albeit infrequently)

Um...Every Olympics...Most recent Olympics was Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, 2006.\n\nAdded:\nOK..OK... I think I realize what they are asking now....The last time they actually gave out actual Gold "gold medals" was in 1912. Now it is just gold plated silver for the "gold medals".\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games#Olympic_champions_and_medalists

My guess would be Duraluminium (an Aluminum alloy) orsome sort of titanium alloy... \n\nDuraluminium is used in harddisks as the ring separating the platters and in expensive bikes.

I don't know about the actual medal's worth, but the USOC pays athletes $25,000 for winning an inidividual gold.  There are prizes for silver, bronze and team medals, too.
