A weird Olympic fact for you….
What weighs less than a elephant but more than a four man bobsled team?
The 2010 Countdown clock!
At 1,170 kg (2,574 lbs) it’s 4 times lighter than a Savanna elephant and
just under twice as much as the allowable weight for a sled and crew for 4 man
bobsled (which is 630 kg – 1386 lbs if you were wondering).
The clock is three metres wide and over six metres high. A photo is coming…. I’m just waiting for a break in the rain.
And for a not so weird fact….
Did you know there is an Olympic Museum in Lausanne? You can even take a virtual tour online – although there wasn’t much to see. Olympic Museum
