At the 2008 Games, that would be softball.
They were held this year in Eugene, Oregon (the "birthplace" of Nike), on June 27 to July 6 to determine the athletes that would represent the US in the Olympics.
That would be the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials that will be held in Eugene, Oregon in 2012. A date for the trials has not been set, as of yet, but the Trials generally occur 4-6 weeks prior to the beginning of the Olympics.
Quick is a word to describe Wilma Rudolph. She was an Olympic champion. She won 3 gold medals in track and field at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.
On a standard 400 meter track, it would be 2800 meters.
If it is 1500m, then it is 1500m, no matter how long the track is. If you mean how many laps, that would be 3.75 laps on a 400m track, and 7.5 on a 200m track.
The Olympics uses a track of 400 meters in length. Therefore it would be 3 and 3/4 laps
Track events are running on a track ie. 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 800m, 1500m and hurdles. For 100m you would run one quarter of the way around the track. Field events are events that don't take place on the track ie. long jump, javelin, shot-put, triple jump and high jump.
Track and field meet would seem to fit the bill.
considering the men's half-pipe 2-time gold medalist is Shaun White, and the womens half-pipe team almost swept the podium, I would say yes, the U.S. is known for snowboarding in the olympics.
For a 30 second commercial spot you would pay between 2.5 to 2.8 million depending on the time in the Olympics you place it. if you place your commercial on something big like swimming, track, or field, it will cost closer to 2.8 million. If you place it on something small like taekwondo, it will cost you 2.5 million.
If we're talking about a standard track that measures 440 yards, then the distance traveled would be about 1.57 miles.
