25 Days

Meet Nigerian American athlete Seun Adebiyi. Adebiyi is 26 years old and his plans for 2010 include creating the first Nigerian National Skeleton Team, passing the bar and beating Leukemia. Adebiyi, who had previously failed to make the Nigerian Swim team was preparing to be the first Nigerian Winter Olympian when he was diagnosed with cancer. He has now put his own Olympic dreams on hold to beat cancer. In search of a bone marrow donor, he has teamed with singer Rihanna to find 10,000 potential bone marrow donors. Adebiyi hopes to compete in skeleton in the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

In 2008, per capita, China won one gold medal for every 25 million people in the country. (They won 51 gold medals, the most at the 2008 Summer Games.)

Twenty five corporate sponsors, governments and broadcasters of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games have joined forces to help make the Games carbon neutral by offsetting some of their own carbon emissions related to the Games, such as emissions generated by delegations travelling to and from the region.
