[Catlover]

I'm a 2nd degree blackbelt in tae kwon do, and have decied to enter the olymphics just one problem, I don't know how to enter the olymphics. Can anyone anser a few of my questions. First and formost, is it to late to enter? Second, where do I go to enter, I live close to Atlanta,GA . Third, does any one know where the olymphics will be this year?

Well it's really cool you're so skilled and all, but there are people who have been training for this nonstop. Not like you, despite being good, can just walk up and decide to join in. Being such a high level, I would assume you go to a dojo or something, and have an instructor. That's who you're going to want to talk to. Everyone has trainers and coaches, those are the people that will have the information you need, and the ones that will know whether you have even the slightest chance of even entering, or if you should hold off for a few years. But if you did, well then that would just be beyond uber awesome.

My friend is bronze medalist in Judo...
He trained since he was seven for three hours every day.

Hmmm...I dunno where to go for something like that.

Go to this site (http://www.gamesbids.com). I've been following all the rumors about the 2010 and 2012 Olympics there, and they should have links to various sites, the US Olympic Association, and the IOC, too.

Good luck!

PS - I know someone that won a silver in wrestling in the LA Olympics in '84. No, wait, it was in 1980. Argh...either way, yeah. He was my earth science teacher, of all people. :D

From what I remember from when my brother tried out out for the ski team, you have to sign-up with the USOC and go to one of the tryouts. I dont know if the rules have changed since the early 90's though...
