Add to this to the resources available to teachers creating units on the event. :) My sons were excited because it may be their only chance to see events such as the shot put and the discus, which are rarely televised.

I love this visual data and the top dog who started all this has to be Jonathan Harris. His first project actually was about Words . this is really interesting!!!! http://www.wordcount.org/wordcountNEW.swf If impressed, that's nothing. Check out his other projects - I feel fine and Universe Daily Life.... He's a genius. I just updated our Olympic page ( http://eflclassroom.ning.com/wpage/olympics ) with flash explanations of EACH sport. Really easy to use and nice explanations of these sports. Courtesy of the Olympic Committee. Here's one - get them all and articles / bios of the top 100 athletes to watch http://www.olympic.org/uk/sports/flash/summer/afp/WP/WP_EN.html Larry,
