#25 - The Winter Olympics
Jan/Feb 2010
It's just weeks before the 2010 Winter Olympics begin in Vancouver, British Columbia. To help you enjoy the games even more, we've prepared an issue that gets at the "ins and outs" of each sport. We describe each event and explain some of the science that helps propel athletes to the podium. Of course, there's lots of other fun, games, and cool info. in this issue too. (Such as: why you get goosebumps; why not all gulls are seagulls; and just who invented goalie masks.)
