Hi There, When I was a young kid many many years ago, I was gifted a pin from the Egyptian Olympic Shooting Team. The pin came with an Olympic Games Egypt postcard and in it was a message from one of the Egyptian Shooting team competitors. This was the 2000 Olympic games - I was only 7 years old at the time. I've kept the pin ever since and have attached a photo for you to see. Please see below. I'm not selling this item, just more curious about the value off it as I've tried researching this pin but cannot find it anywhere in memorabilia stores or even online. I have found somewhat similar pins but nothing like this one. I am very curious about the value and rarity of this piece of memoribillia from these games and this team and would appreciate any help or guidance. Thank you! http://oi64.tinypic.com/98hv0i.jpg

I understand Rule #33 of the Olympic Charter, concerning single city or country hosting of the Olympic games. Does anyone know where I can find the origin of the rule which PREVENTED join bids from Olympic cities/countries? I saw this provision was added to the Olympic charter in 1921, but I cannot find related literature about why the rule for a single city hosting model was instituted in the first place. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this, or perhaps offer guidance as to where I might find information as it relates to the origins of this rule? Again, I understand it has now been changed, but am needing to understand its origins. Thank you.
