There is a minimum number, it is one.
There is not even universal agreement on which countries should be counted as European There were over 10,000 athletes and figures are available by country or for the 204 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) under the related link
So athletes who cannot compete in the regular Olympics can compete. They get the same sense of accomplishment, recognition and satisfaction as athletes in the regular Olympics, and people think it's important that they should be able to.
For the Athletes YES definetely if they are not, but for the families i say no because it will be like its must they should go so they won't persevere to go there, so if they pay they will do by all means necessary to go there. Again it will depend on the countries to give out vouchers or something.
I do not know about it... maybe you should google or try Wikipedia.
Well most athletes (male) do it in around 1.40 - 1.55 so if you want to be in the Olympics you should be aiming around those sort of times
yes because disabled people have the same rights as everyone else
athletes need to have good grades in order to play on after school programs because to have a minimum 2.0 GPA is not hard to ask for and school should come first
We have the olympic games because it is fun to watch and is great to 'mingle' with other countries. Also it is a big competition were the athletes and gymnasts compete for the bronze, silver and gold medals. It is great fun and exciting when it eventually comes to the UK in 2012.
I, personally, don't think so. It depends on the extent of pollution, I guess, but if a country wants to host the Olympics, it should clean up its act. Otherwise, it could be hazardous to the athletes' performance and health.
we shouldn't abolish the Olympics because people have been working very hard and it won't be fair for the athletes
That could be a way to go, but I think a fitness model who has some experience acting could be a good option.
There should be obvr 50 countries in the next Olympics games in 2010 but i ont now specifically how many.
