Re: Olympics - Benito Mussolini - 02-28-2010 Also, Canada has most gold, and USA has most medals. That means that Americans are better at finishing 3rd. So pro.

[/quote] How would a gigantic sheet of gold that's about a half inch to an inch thick be cheap? edit: 1. The 2010 Games boast âthe greenest medals yet,â the papers clamored following their October unveiling. Thatâs technically true, since the medals include recycled metal reclaimed from electronic waste. But out of 2,855 kilograms of metal used to manufacture this yearâs medals, recycled content is just 12.41 kg, or 0.43 percent by weight. All the silver used to make the medals weighs about the same as a pick-up truck; the quantity of recycled silver weighs about as much as a chihuahua. 2. Vancouver-based Teck Resources supplied the metals, from mines in Canada, Alaska, Chile, and Peru. If that name seems familiar, it should be: Teck has been the target of environmental protest since 1989 for allegedly exceeding permitted waste-dumping limits at Alaskaâs Red Dog mine. 3. Both the gold and silver medal contain the same amount of silver. A gold medal is 93 per cent silverâthe other seven per cent is the gold plating. 4. The metal in a gold medal is worth about $1,700 on an ounce-for-ounce basisâbut an Olympic win can be worth a lot more financially. The Canadian Olympic Committeeâs Athleteâs Excellence Fund offers a $20,000 paycheque for bringing home gold. 5. Sponsorship opportunities and speaking engagements can offer even more money for athletes. Runner Donovan Bailey earns about $15,000 for a speaking engagement, and Speedo gave Michael Phelps $1 million for his eight gold wins at Beijing in 2008. Re: Olympics - Duck, Duck, Goose - 02-28-2010 Quote:The medals of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games are circular in shape and based on a large master artwork of an orca whale by Corrine Hunt, a Canadian designer/artist of Komoyue and Tlingit heritage. Each of the medals has a unique hand-cropped section of the abstract art, making every medal one-of-a-kind. The medals were revealed on Thursday, October 15, 2009 at the Olympic and Paralympic Village Vancouver.
