21 Days

Factoid of the day: The Olympic podium was first used at the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY. American speed skater, Jack Shea was the first gold medalist to receive his medal from on top of the podium.

Here's an easy stat: The 2010 Vancouver Games will be the 21st Winter Olympics.

21 players were named to the 2010 U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team, which included six Olympic veterans. U.S. Women's Ice Hockey has medalled in all three Olympic appearances to date: gold in 1998, silver in 2002 and bronze in 2006.

Thailand has won 21 Olympic medals, with the majority in boxing. Thailand's most successful Games was the 2004 Games in Athens, where Thai athletes won eight medals. Only one athlete, Prawat Nagvajara, has represented Thailand at the Winter Olympics. Many Thai winter sport athletes have qualified for their respective sports but their Olympic governing body has chosen not to send them, which happens when athletes of poorer countries aren't expected to do well.
