Returning to the history of the modern Olympics and hundreds of British names found in the annals. People like Daley Thompson, Mary Peters, Ann Packer, Sebastian Coe, Steve Ovett, Linford Christie, Steve Redgrave, Ben Ainslie, Kelly Holmes, David Wilkie and Matthew Pinsent are just some of the sports stars who have won gold medals in recent years.

The Olympic participation has been growing slowly, and now every time the game takes place in 10,000 British athletes travel compete in the Summer Games. Come to London in 2012 and this number will be closer to 15,000 in the highest levels of UK Sport, driven per year, plus Lottery funding will help the GB team to include more athletes. Team GB now trying to win over 400 medals in different disciplines and, as levels of participation, the harvest of medals is also increasing. Beijing 2008 count totaled nearly 50 medals with 19 gold medals in progress.

It is a a little different story if UK believes that performance in the Winter Olympics and was expected, since our winters are usually wet, rather like snow or ice. For that we have odd periods of snowfall, but certainly not enough to justify the investment in facilities to continue to enjoy them, or enough to convince athletes to choose a load of snow sports as their hobby. There may, however, a change on the horizon, due to the development of new facilities in which some typical winter perfectly viable as a regular activity. We've had our share of ice rinks across the country, certainly not enough gave access to everyone, but it would be sufficient to allow those with Olympic ambitions to achieve "enough ice" to meet the Olympic qualifying standards. Some athletes have even stopped and win Olympic medals, but athletes such as cousins, Curry, Torvill and Dean now may be the name, the number of successes is still relatively weak.

For the past two years Winter Olympics, athletes have 6 GB medals, with a gold alone. Taking into account all the Winter Olympics and Team GB has only won 21 medals. The victorious performance in 8 of them came in just three sports, namely, sledding, curling and ice skating mentioned above. Again, a statement is very low when Considering that some games in Beijing medal GB team scoring rate was more than double.

Despite this low count medal the team still had some legendary performances, as many have lived long in the memory of those who attended. Who can forget Eddie the Eagle? Never before has Britain had a competitor in the jump ski, probably because there was literally zero hand for anyone to learn the skill. Eddie Edwards never let him give, and built a ski jump simulator in your backyard and quit his day job as a mason to achieve their Olympic ambitions. It was time that the objectives of qualification applies to breaks ski (the authorities have changed the rules to prevent people like Eddie even start the Olympics). Eddie Eagle really had no chance from the principle, and yet his image look strange to wear glasses with a slight glare glasses and the fear in his eyes when he began each jump was enough to make love to the crowd. He became a hero, a legend and a model for all those who doubt May they have the ability or opportunity to get to an Olympics. Edwards made his own destiny and was remembered by her. As the game ended and officials were worried that Eddie has been an embarrassment to the Olympic ideal, a mention in the speech Closing Games and enthusiastic applause from the crowd said it was a place for artists with guts like him.

Our heroes of skating, however, were very competent and have won their gold medals, beating convincingly to all those that preceded them. John Curry, Robin Cousins and matching ice dance were Torvill and Dean at the top of their sport, when he triumphed to win gold. Consecutive Games 1976, 1980 and 1984, when Torvill and Dean won gold, has made a series of successes that has never been repeated. Torvill and Dean also had the opportunity to benefit from a rescheduling of the Winter Games, which only saw a gap of two years after the 1992 Games in Albertville. In order to separate the summer and winter run in the same year, next winter competition was held in 1994 in Lillehammer. Was sufficiently Torvill and Dean soon to be always competitive and returned to get a bronze medal.

In the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, Great Britain is still hopeful of a success story. Team GB has talented athletes in snowboarding, ice skating, bobsleigh, skeleton, speedskating short track, curling and figure skating. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the new investment Increased financial perspective, indoor ski slope and the success of Games last summer, all contribute to the richest rewards come in February 2010.
