Norway has hosted the Games on two occasions: Norwegian athletes have won a total of 144 medals at the Summer Olympic Games, with sailing and shooting as the top medal-producing sports. At the Winter Olympic Games, Norway has won 303 medals (107 gold) more than any other nation with cross-country skiing and speed skating as the top sports. Norway is one of only three nations (along with Austria and Liechtenstein) to have won more medals at the Winter Games than at the Summer Games. The National Olympic Committee for Norway was created and recognized in 1900. *Total medal counts include three medals two silver and one bronze awarded in the figure skating events at the 1920 Summer Olympics. These medals are included in the summer games medal totals and the winter sport medal totals.

Excerpt: The 2020 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXII Olympiad, are expected to be a major international sports and cultural festival, which will be celebrated in the tradition of the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee has yet to begin the selection process, but a host city is expected to be announced in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in mid-2013. The IOC in 2004 has even stated they are interested in a Third World or an LDC nation to host the games in 2020. When discussing the Japanese bid, the Japanese Olympic Committee head Yasuhiro Nakamori revealed "the IOC suggested that if an African candidate emerged for 2020 they would be very strong contenders". Several IOC members have suggested that the organization should award the Games to an African nation; with Rio's 2016 award, Africa remains the only populated continent to have never hosted the Games. Rabat, the Moroccan capital, is expected to submit a bid for the 2020 Olympics. Officials from Morocco are confident that their capital will win the right to host the games; they chose Rabat as the bidding city, over the much larger Casablanca, stating that Rabat is more internationally significant. If a bid is submitted, it will be the first time Morocco has submitted a bid. Cape Town will most likely bid for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, and plans on building onto the foundation of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The planned bid is supported by the Cape Chamber of Commerce. Cape Town has hosted a number of World Championships in various sports including hockey, fencing, Modern Pentathlon, cycling, rugby, cricket and many others. Cape Town previously bid for the 2004 Olympic Games, placing third behind Rome and the winning city of Athens. Approximately 70% of the venues req... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1610886 ...

This in turn led to calls for a new stadium which would reflect the club's growing status and, despite its capacity of 60,000, the old ground was deemed inadequate and the decision made for the Catalan club to move. Under then president Agustí Montal Galobart, land had been acquired in a neighbouring district, not far from Les Corts, and it was this site that was chosen by the new president, Francesc Miró-Sans, for the new build.

Rugby union is governed by the Tonga Rugby Football Union, which is also a member of the Pacific Islands Rugby Alliance. Rugby union is popular in the nation's schools and students from schools such as Tupou College are regularly offered scholarships from New Zealand, Australia and Japan. Though Tongans are passionate rugby followers, the small population base means that internationally, Tongan rugby continually struggles. Often, young talent emigrate to countries which offer greater prospects of individual success such as New Zealand and Australia. The national team (Ikale Tahi) has performed quite well on the international stage. Although the national team has not performed as well as neighboring Samoa and Fiji, Tonga has competed at five Rugby World Cups, the first being in 1987. The team achieved its best-ever performance in 2007, winning two matches against the USA and Samoa before losing narrowly to South Africa, the eventual winners of the competition, and England, the runners-up. By finishing third in their group, Tonga gained automatic qualification to the 2011 Rugby World Cup, to be held in New Zealand. Tonga performs the 'Sipi Tau' (war dance) before its matches.

Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: No United Kingdom national football team currently exists as there are separate teams representing England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in football. These national teams compete in the World Cup and European Championships and other internationals. A UK team has played in friendly matches, though never in a full FIFA international and not since 1947. The UK has also competed in the football tournament of the Olympic Games, where it is represented by the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic football team. When the world's first football association, The Football Association (FA), was formed in 1863, its geographical remit was not clear: there was no specification of whether it covered just England, the entire UK or even the entire world. The question was answered when the Scottish Football Association (SFA) was founded in 1873. The third national football association, the Football Association of Wales was founded in 1876 and a fourth, the Irish Football Association, (IFA), was founded in 1880. Football therefore developed with separate associations and national teams for each of the countries of the United Kingdom and no 'United Kingdom football association' was ever formed. Representative international matches between England and Scotland were played as far back as 1872, before the sport spread to other parts of the world, but none of the Home Nations took part in a World Cup until 1950 because they had withdrawn from FIFA over disputes regarding payments to amateur players and did not rejoin until 1946.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Table football, better known as foosball in America (from German Fußball, "football") and many other names, is a table-top game and sport that is loosely based on association football (soccer).Although patents for similar games may exist from as far back as the 1890s, the game of Table Football as we know it today was first invented by Harold Searles Thorton in 1922 and patented in 1923 (UK patent no. 205,991 application: dated 14 October 1922 and accepted: 1 November 1923) The concept was conceved after Harold had been to a Spurs football match (he was an avid supporter). He wanted to provide a game that replicated football that could be played at home. The inspiration came from a box of matches; by laying the matches across the box he had formed the basis of his game. ... Read more
