Does anyone know how much Spandex is used in all of the uniforms during the winter Olympics?

I would bet the same amount that is used for the summer olympics...

It has to be comfortable and just right for the swimmers size. It doesn't really need to be all spandex.\nIf you are ladies, you have to have pads to make your _______ safe.\n\nFor men, just wear the suit.\n\nThere is Speedo and lots more stores out there looking for swimmers!

During a short time long pants was worn by a team. (1981-82 Flyers and 1982-83 Flyers and Whalers)\n\n \nThe best for you is to check photos on this site you'll see each year uniform since 1917

because there are (feelslike) 1000 sports for summer but winter needs stupid stuff to fill in time. I love snowboard but I think its not olympic, Maybe just slalom.  plus its hard to include,more, sports that are judged subjectivly like figure skating.

I'm not totally sure but i think you can go to like NBC.com or whatever the channel your Olympics are on and order whatever Olympic's related gear you want.

doping is a difficult topic to tackle...talk about the use of suits.  many people take issue over the use of new 'fastskin' or full body suits.  discuss whether use of those suits should be allowed and to what extent...where do we draw the line?  will suits that have fins or propellers protruding some day be worn/allowed?  that may be extreme, but olympic swimmers are not allowed to wear fins or hand paddles in a race because they enhance performance; don't some of the technology-enhanced suits people wear these days do the same thing?  when does the sport stop being about human ability and start being a faceoff between different kinds of swimwear?\n\nhope this helps...

There does not appear to be a published (at least on the web) list that shows the number of participants by country, but the site below does list the competing nations as well as the the total number of competitors...\n\nThere is a published book called "Complete Book of the Summer Olympics" by David Wallenchinsky. Published by Natl Book Network. You might find this in the sports section of your local book store or library, and this has the complete listing of nations taking part along with competitors, but not by nation either, just total

I heard this explanation during a telecast:\n \nMost teams have 3 sweaters; one white, one dark, and a third alternative sweater for special occaisions (e.g. national televised games, holiday games, etc).  The third sweaters are also dark, with special graphics.  If dark jerseys are for away games, the teams would have to pack both the standard away and the alternative jerseys.  If white is the away color, it makes it easier; simply pack only the white jerseys for road trips.

Jersey would be your best bet, and BTW, you're gonna have a BLAST ! ENJOY !...... Goggles, gloves, extra sox, and long underwear ARE A MUST on the slopes, it's minimal survival equipment, use nothing less ! prepare to be sore as Hell, and loving it !

That's not the sort of information that is usually available at a snap. The only thing I can suggest is that you contact people living in past Winter Olympic host cities who were aged between 5 and 13 when the Games where hosted there and ask what influence it had on them.

If you want an exact answer, you'll probably have to do the grunt work yourself at the official Olympic site:  http://www.olympic.org/uk/athletes/results/search_r_uk.asp\n\nA quick check in just men's athletics (track and field) show that the U.S. has done it 28 times in the sprints, hurdles, and pole vault. Eight times in the high hurdles, alone and 6 more times in the 200m.\n\nThe Soviet Union did it 3 times in the hammer, the Finns, Swedes, and Kenyans once each in the steeplechase.\n\nThere are probably a lot of other sports where one country dominates the competition, like US and East German women swimmers.

This is the only information I can find regarding the event at Barcelona 1992 that you are after:\n\nUNIFIED TEAM (EX USSR)  (Gold)\nUNITED STATES OF AMERICA  (Silver)\nGREAT BRITAIN  (Bronze)\n\nFor details, you have have to contact the Spanish Olympic Committee

With only the snowboard slalom events still to be completed, you have to admit that if it's riding on a snowboard the chances are that it's an American.\n\nThe USA won both halfpipe events (and also took the silver medal as well) and would have also had a clean sweep in the new snowboard cross event if the women's leader in the final hadn't attempted a trick over the last ramp and crashed. Still generally speaking it's been the US's Olympics on snowboards.\n\nMedal Table (Snowboarding)\nUnited States: 3 golds, 3 silvers, 0 bronze\nSwitzerland: 1 gold\nSlovakia: 1 silver\nFinland: 1 bronze\nFrance: 1 bronze\nNorway: 1 bronze\nCanada: 1 bronze
