	2002 Winter Olympics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prior to these Olympic Winter Games, a number of IOC members were forced to resign after it was uncovered that they had accepted inappropriately valuable gifts in return for voting for Salt Lake City to hold the Games.
		These Olympic games were the first since September 11, 2001, which meant a higher level of security than ever before provided for the Games.
		When he spoke during the opening ceremonies, Rogge, presiding over his first olympics as IOC president, told the athletes of the host country: "Your nation is overcoming a horrific tragedy, a tragedy that has affected the whole world.

	World Almanac for Kids
		The winter Olympics were begun in 1924 and were held in the same year as the summer games until the 1994 winter games in Lillehammer, Norway, when the alternating cycles began.
		A total of eight sports were included in the winter Olympics in 1998: biathlon (cross-country skiing and rifle marksmanship), bobsled, curling (for the first time), ice hockey (which included women’s hockey for the first time), luge (toboggan), figure skating, speed skating, and skiing (which, for the first time, included snowboarding as a medal sport).
		The Olympic games are competitions of individual athletes, not of nations, and the IOC does not keep national scores; however, the media of all nations report national standings according to one of two scoring systems.

	Curling at the 1924 Winter Olympics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In February 2006, a few days before the start of the Torino Games, the International Olympic Committee ruled that the curling medals were part of the official olympic program in 1924, and not a demonstration event as many authoritative sources had previously claimed (although the IOC itself had never done so).
		This official confirmation was the culmination of an investigative campaign begun by the Glasgow-based newspaper The Herald [1], on behalf of the families of the eight Scots who won the first curling gold medals.
		Note: R Cousin, Great Britain and Ireland, is listed in the Official Report as a "Non-Participent" and it is not known if he received a medal, however the Skip William Jackson is also listed in the Official Report as a "Non-Participent" and it is known that he did play and did receive a medal.

	Winter Olympics: Curling
		Curling is one of four winter Olympic sports being contested indoors.
		The sport of curling dates as far back as the early 1500s in Scotland and was reportedly brought to North America by British troops in the 1700s during the Revolutionary War.
		As the stone curls towards its intended target (perhaps the tee, or perhaps an opponent's stone that happens to be in the way) the other three team members sweep the ice with brooms, causing the stone to speed up or change directions.

		Although it became an official Olympic sport in 1998, curling dates back to the 16th century in Scotland, when it was played on frozen ponds, lochs and marshes.
		While curling isn't as popular as hockey or skiing, the participants are extremely devoted to the sport and to the friendships that are formed throughout several competitions.
		After falling in the final of the 1997 Olympic curling trials to Toronto's Mike Harris, Edmonton's Kevin Martin is headed to the Winter Games as the skip for Team Canada.

	Cool Attractions - Olympic History
		As Salt Lake City prepares for the 19th Olympic Winter Games, constructing multi-million dollar venues, landing corporate sponsorships, and adjusting the city's infrastructure to accommodate the temporarily swollen population, all eyes are on the future.

		Curling and women's hockey were also deemed official sports, and the general consensus was that Japan was a very gracious host.

		Since 1994 the winter games have been held in even-numbered years in which the summer games are not contested.

	NPR : The Rock is in the House, 2002 Winter Olympics, A Special Report
		27, 2002 -- According to legend, curling was invented in Scotland in the 1500s as a winter pastime for golfers.
		Curling involves sliding a heavy object -- called the rock, or stone -- across an expanse of ice toward a target called the "house." One team member slides the rock, while others use brooms to sweep the ice along its path.
		Their brisk efforts improve the sliding surface for the rock, which resembles a cross between a steam iron and a teakettle.
