Revision as of 17:40, July 4, 2012

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXX Olympiad and informally as London 2012, will be held in London from July 15 through August 12. This makes London the first city to host the Games three times - the previous occasions being in 1908 and 1948. The Olympic Games have pagan origins. The torch relay was first used for the 1936 Summer Olympic Games in Nazi Berlin

Athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees will be participating.

Conservapedia predicts and analyzes underachievement by nations, or particular sports fielded by a nation, due to:

Nations that have implemented same-sex marriage

Underachievement by nations allowing same sex marriage will be particularly evident.[2]

Nations that are increasingly atheistic


Underachievement by atheistic nations will be particularly evident in the team sports, where spiritual motivation is usually non-existent. Expect the atheistic nations to underachieve most notably in soccer, where teamwork is paramount.

Winners

Athlete Achievement Religion, or Atheist?

Expected Medals

While there are many factors that contribute to a countries success in the Olympics (population, proximity host country, culture), Gross Domestic Product may be a fair proxy. Below is how the Olympic medals would be awarded if each country earned medals in proportion to their GDP.

  1. ↑ Although part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Aruba competes separately at the Olympic Games. Same-sex marriage is not legal in Aruba, although marriages performed in the mainland Netherlands or abroad are recognized per the Kingdom's requirements. Additionally, Curacao and Sint Maarten, who will compete as "Independent Olympic Participants" under the Olympic Flag following the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles and the loss of recognition of their Olympic Committee, have the same regulations as Aruba with regards to same-sex marriage
  2. ↑ In the United States, 44 out of 50 states prohibit same-sex marriage (Washington, D.C. also permits same-sex marriage), and 8 additional states permit civil unions. Two states (including Washington, which had previously recognized civil unions) have declared same-sex marriage legal, but implementation is postponed until after voter referendums on the laws in November 2012. Additionally, in Mexico, same-sex marriage is legal in Mexico City, a federal district roughly equivalent to Washington, DC, as well as in the state of Quintana Roo.
