Olympic Medal Count

The Executions olympic By British Athletes
The British olympic executions return at first modern Games in 1896 to Athens. More than 13,000 every year athletes of around world competes in more than 400 events during the games of summer if the chance of a British conqueror is rather high. To the Games of Peking in 2008 Great Britain brought to the house 47 meddailles, 19 of them now.

The GB of Equipe marking the rate to the winter games is a completely different question although. The successes are strong fought and a rare event. Indeed, on the passed 5 Olympic Games of Winter, GB of Equipe won just 6 meddailles, with only one of them now. The total account of meddaille of GB through all Olympic Games of Winter is just 21 meddailles, with 8 of them now. We marked only meddailles of now in three different winters olympic sports. But that does not mean that we had not our party of Winter heroes olympic.

The meddaille in bronze earned by the British team in the four events of bobsled of man of 1998 in Nagano was totally unforeseen and a special occasion in in a manner than the one. For an event that is timed down below to the last one a hundredth one of a second, to GB of Equipe measured the time exactly it same time as the French team, therefore abnormally the two teams were attributed a meddaille in bronze. The it was a remarkable execution as a Great Britain has not even a race of bobsled, therefore all preparation must is done abroad. The bobsled meddailles are of ordinary one won by the nations as Switzerland, Italy, Germany or the United States, so when the team of bobsled of two men of GB of Nash and Dixon took gold to the 1964 Games in Innsbruck to Austria forward of two Italian teams that everyone was stunned. The team has since had a bend to the St Moritz chases it olympic bobsled dedicated to their names. These opportunities lack slowly is rectified as more and more of internal skiing inclines and the centers of surfing of the snows are constructed, allowing more of amateurs to try the sports of winter and furnish the preparation occasions for the olympic challengers.

Another British hero that person can forget is Eddie "the eagle" Edwards that represented tean GB in the skiing jumping the event to the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada. Michael Edwards was a humble plasterer of Cheltenham when it paid himself to participate in the Olympic Games of Winter. It must have known that it had the small chance, nevertheless always is realized his dream. Very short Etre general idea that it was forced to carry glasses that frequently misted in top underneath its glasses and it was almost 10 heavier kg than no competing other. As foresaw that it came last in the events of 70M and 90M but abnormally it was the first athlete for evermore to obtain a mentioned one in the speech of closing of the games. It tried and did not qualify for the next one three Olympic Games of Winter, a victim of a rule that was introduced by olympic authorities in particular to prevent from the people as him concurrent in the games and doing potentially a mockery of a sport.

The skate is where Associates GB marked most of its meddailles of now olympic. The names as Torvill and Dean, the Cousins and Etrille all established their place in the British athletic history because of skating gold to the Olympic Games. The Curry of John in 1976 and Robin Cousins in 1980 the two won gold in the competition of artistic skating of the men.

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are the dance of ice of olympic British more successful putting. They won first the olympic success with a gold to the 1984 games of Sarajevo and the success of then repeated meddaille a decade later with a bronze to Lillehammer in 1994. Freeze the dance is a very British event although. The first world-wide championships in the discipline have intervened in 1952, and surprisingly pairs of British won 12 of the first one 16 World-wide Championships. It became an olympic event in 1976 and next year to Vancouver Great Britain probably is more better to be represented by the brother and the sister putting Sinead and John Kerr. The Kerrs was the Champions of National British for the passed six years, won a meddaille in bronze in the 2009 European Championships and came seventh in the 2009 World-wide Championships. At the end of Sinead November 2009 and to John Kerr will challenge for the British Championships and fighter again for a place to the 2010 games of Vancouver.

At last we can look at behind to the 2002 Olympic Games of Winter in the City of Salty Lake when the entire British nation was awakened looks at late in the night Rhona Martin takes its British womens curling the team to the victory by placing perfectly his last rock, adjusted by the press the "The Rock of Fate", beat the Swiss team for the meddaille of now. The it was GB of only Equipe success of meddaille of the games and was more memorable for him.
