36 Days

Nike has unveiled a new sneaker in honor of the 2010 Winter Olympics, the Dunk Hi in red, white & blue and gold. They will be available beginning in February to coincide with the Olympics. What do you think?

The most medals ever won by one nation at one Winter Olympics is 36. Germany holds this record from the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games.

Handball debuted as an Olympic sport in the 1936 Summer Games and then was removed from the list of Olympic events right afterwards. 36 years later, it returned to the Olympics in 1972. Four years after that, in 1976, Women’s handball became an Olympic sport as well.

The Royal Canadian Mint has put 36 limited mintage Olympic and Paralympic themed collectors coins and sets into circulation to honor their home country Olympics in Vancouver.
