The 2018 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXIII Olympic Winter Games (French: Les XXIIIeme Jeux olympiques d'hiver; Hangul: 평창 동계 올림픽; RR: Pyeongchang Donggye Ollimpik), and commonly known as PyeongChang 2018,[1] [pʰjʌŋ.tɕʰaŋ] is a major international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from 9 to 25 February 2018 in Pyeongchang County, South Korea.
The elected host city was announced on 6 July 2011 by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) after the 123rd IOC Session in Durban, South Africa. Pyeongchang won its bid on the first round of voting, receiving more votes than both Munich, Germany and Annecy, France.
The 2018 Olympics will be the second Olympic Games held in South Korea, after the 1988 Summer Olympics held in Seoul, and will be South Korea's first Winter Games. Pyeongchang will be the third Asian city to host the Winter Games after Sapporo, Japan (1972), and Nagano, Japan (1998).[2]

Bidding[edit]
Main article: Bids for the 2018 Winter Olympics
Pyeongchang bid to host both the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympic Games but lost in the final rounds of voting by three and four votes respectively. Pyeongchang won its bid for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in the first round of voting, receiving 63 of the 95 votes cast, giving it the majority required to be elected host city.
Munich also launched a bid to host these Games. Prior to Beijing's successful 2022 Winter Olympics bid, Munich would have become the first city to host both the Winter and the Summer Games, having previously hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics, but received 25 votes. Annecy launched a bid, but failed to secure public support from local citizens. Their bid received seven votes.
Host city election[edit]
PyeongChang was elected as the host city at the 123rd IOC Session in Durban. Forty-eight votes were needed for selection and PyeongChang was elected after just one round of voting.

Tickets[edit]
The ticket prices for the 2018 Winter Olympics were announced in April 2016 and went on sale in October 2016, ranging from ₩20,000 (approximately $17) to ₩900,000 ($776). Tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies will range from ₩220,000 ($190) to ₩1.5 million ($1293). The exact prices were determined through market research; around 50% of the tickets are due to cost about ₩80,000 ($69) or less, and tickets in sports that are relatively unknown in the region, such as biathlon and luge, will be made cheaper in order to encourage attendance. By contrast, figure skating and the Men's hockey gold medal game carry the most expensive tickets of the Games.[3]
As of October 11, domestic ticket sales for the games have been incredibly slow. Of the 750,000 seats allocated to South Koreans, only 20.7% have been sold. International sales have been a bit better, with 59.7% of the 320,000 allocated tickets sold. Sales of tickets to the Paralympic Games are even more dismal, with only 4.2 percent sold.[4]
Preparations[edit]
On 5 August 2011, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced the formation of the Pyeongchang 2018 Coordination Commission.[5][6] On 4 October 2011, it was announced that the Organizing Committee for the 2018 Winter Olympics will be headed by Kim Jin-sun. The Pyeongchang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games (POCOG) was launched at its inaugural assembly on 19 October 2011. The first tasks of the organizing committee was to put together a master plan for the games as well as forming a design for the venues.[7] The IOC Coordination Commission for the 2018 Winter Olympics made their first visit to Pyeongchang in March 2012. By then, construction was already underway on the Olympic Village.[8][9] In June 2012, construction began on a high-speed rail line that will connect Pyeongchang to Seoul.[10]
Olympic venues 2018
The International Paralympic Committee met with the Pyeongchang 2018 organizing committee for an orientation in July 2012.[11] Then-IOC President Jacques Rogge visited Pyeongchang for the first time in February 2013.[12]
On 27 June 2014 the PyeongChang Olympic Committee announced their mascot selection contest.[13] The contest ran from 15 September 2014 to 30 September 2014. The 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games were held in Pyeongchang.
The Pyeongchang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games created Pyeongchang WINNERS in 2014 by recruiting university students living in South Korea to spread awareness of the Olympic Games through social networking services and news articles.[14]

Sports[edit]
The 2018 Winter Olympics will feature 102 events in 15 sports. Four new disciplines in existing sports will be introduced in Pyeongchang, including big air snowboarding (which will replace the parallel slalom), mixed doubles curling, mass start speed skating, and mixed team alpine skiing.[18]
For the first time since 1998, the National Hockey League will not provide accommodations (including a break in the season for all teams during the Olympics) to allow its players to participate in the Men's ice hockey tournament. The NHL's decision stemmed from demands for the IOC to cover the cost of insuring the NHL players that participate in the Games. Although it did pay to insure NHL players in Sochi, the IOC was unwilling to do so for Pyeongchang, and was concerned that the NHL's demand could set a precedent for other professional sports bodies to follow in the future. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman added that the IOC didn't allow the NHL to promote the involvement of its players in the Olympics.[19][20][21] The NHL has yet to announce if it will implement any specific measures to penalize players who participate in the Olympics.[22]

Gold medal of the 2018 Olympics
Branding[edit]
The emblem for the Games was unveiled on 3 May 2013. It is a stylized representation of the hangul letters ㅍ p and ㅊ ch, being the initial sounds of 평창 Pyeongchang. Additionally the left symbol is said to represent the Korean philosophical triad of heaven, earth and humanity (Korean: 천지인 cheon-ji-in), and the right symbol to represent a crystal of ice.[30]
The name of the host city, Pyeongchang, has been intentionally styled in CamelCase as "PyeongChang" on the emblem and in official materials, rather than "Pyeongchang". This has been done to alleviate potential confusion with Pyongyang, the similarly-named capital of neighbouring North Korea. Gangwon Governor Choi Moon-soon cited a 2014 incident where a representative from Kenya, en route to a United Nations biodiversity conference in Pyeongchang, was detained by local immigration officers after accidentally flying to Pyongyang instead.[1]
The official pictograms for 24 sports across 15 disciplines were revealed in January 2017 and are designed using the Korean alphabet as an inspiration.[31]
Mascots[edit]
Main article: Soohorang and Bandabi
Soohorang (수호랑), a white tiger, and Bandabi (반다비), an Asiatic black bear, were announced as the official mascots of the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics.
Broadcasting rights[edit]
Main article: List of 2018 Winter Olympics broadcasters
Broadcast rights to the 2018 Winter Olympics in some countries were already sold as part of long-term broadcast rights deals, including the Games' local rightsholder SBS—who extended its rights to the Olympics through 2024 in July 2011.[32]
On 29 June 2015, the IOC announced that Discovery Communications—owner of Eurosport, had acquired exclusive rights to the Olympics from 2018 through 2024 across Europe, excluding Russia, on all platforms. Discovery will sub-license its broadcast rights to local free-to-air networks on a territorial basis. Discovery's rights deal will, initially, not cover France due to pre-existing rights deals with France Télévisions that run through the 2020 Games. Unlike previous pan-European deals, such as with the European Broadcasting Union and Sportfive, Discovery will not solely serve as a reseller, and intends to carry coverage on its regional properties, but has committed to sub-licensing at least 100 hours of coverage to free-to-air networks..[33][34][35] In the United Kingdom, Discovery will hold exclusive pay television rights under license from the BBC, in return for the BBC sub-licensing the free-to-air rights to the 2022 and 2024 Olympics from Discovery.[36]
In the United States, the Games will once again be broadcast by NBC under a long-term contract; it will also be NBC's first Olympics without long-time host Bob Costas, who announced his retirement from the role in favour of Mike Tirico on 7 February 2017.[37][38] On 28 March 2017, NBC also announced that it would air most primetime coverage simultaneously in all time zones, rather than tape-delayed for the west coast.[39]
Concerns and controversies[edit]
Russian doping[edit]
Russia could possibly face being banned because of their state-sponsored doping program. A decision on the matter will be made in the months prior to the games.[40] Russian Olympic Committee president Alexander Zhukov stated that he expects Russian participation and that a state ban was not the position of WADA, who expect a resolution in November 2017.[41] Russia managed to avoid being completely banned from the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Security[edit]
See also: North Korea and weapons of mass destruction
On 20 September 2017, South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in said the country is pushing to ensure security at Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games amid rising tensions over the North Korea’s nuclear test and a series of missile launches.[42] However, on the next day, French Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Laura Flessel-Colovic said France’s Winter Olympics team will boycott the games unless South Korea's security is guaranteed.[43]
On 22 September 2017, Austria and Germany joined France in boycotting the games. Karl Stoss, head of Austria’s national Olympic committee, said that, "if the situation worsens and the security of our athletes is no longer guaranteed, we will not go to South Korea." The German interior ministry said the security question and the possibility of keeping the German team at home would be addressed “in good time” by the government. Several days later, Laura Flessel-Colovic reaffirmed France's participation in the games. Austria and Germany are yet to decide on reaffirming.[44]

Tikki Tikki Tembo is a 1968 picture book written by Arlene Mosel and illustrated by Blair Lent.[1] The book tells the story of a Chinese boy with a long name who fell into a well. It is a sort of origin myth about why Chinese names are so short today. The book is controversial because it appears to retell a Japanese story and because it does not portray Chinese culture accurately.

Plot[edit]
Tikki Tikki Tembo is set in ancient China and invents an ancient Chinese custom whereby parents honor their first-born sons with long, elaborate names that everyone is obliged to say completely – no nicknames, no shortening of any kind – while second-born sons are typically given short, unimportant names. A boy named Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo ("The Most Wonderful Thing in the Whole Wide World") and his little brother Chang ("Little or Nothing") are playing very close to a well at their house that their mother has warned them to avoid. Chang falls in the well and his older brother runs to their mother and tells her Chang has fallen down the well. Their mother tells him to get the Old Man with the Ladder. He goes and tells the Old Man. Chang is rescued and then recovers quickly. Some time later, the boys are again playing near the well. This time, the older brother falls in. Chang runs to their mother and tries to tell her that "Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo has fallen into the well." At first she cannot hear him so he says it again. However, because Chang is out of breath from running he sputters and then mispronounces the name. His mother insists that he repeat the name—but with respect. He tries repeatedly until finally his mother tells Chang to get the Old Man with the Ladder. Chang goes to the Old Man with the Ladder. Initially, the old man does not respond because he is asleep. Further, when Chang tries to wake him up, the Old Man with the Ladder—annoyed—tries to fall back asleep. After Chang breathlessly repeats his brother's predicament the Old Man goes with Chang to save his brother from the well. They get Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo from the well, but because of the long time he was in the well, it takes longer for him to recover. The end of the story says that this is why the Chinese have short names.
Reception[edit]
The book received accolades upon publication. The Kirkus Review found the illustrations to be "a skillful counterpoint of diminutive detail and spacious landscape and a fine setting for a sprightly folktale."[2] The book won a 1968 Boston Globe–Horn Book Award in the Picture Book category.[3]
In 1997, The New York Times selected it as one of the 50 best children's books of the previous 50 years.[4][5] In a 1999–2000 National Education Association online survey of children, the book was one of the "Kids' Top 100 Books".[6] Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association named the book one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children".[7] In a 2008 online poll of "Top 100 Picture Books" by School Library Journal, the book ranked 35th; in a similar 2012 poll, the book ranked 89th.[8][9] According to the publisher, over one million copies of the book had been sold by 2013.[10]
The 2009 audio book version of the story received a Parents' Choice Foundation rating of "Approved".[11]
Background[edit]
First part of "Tiki-Tiki-Tembo", a story published in 1924
The publisher states that the author "first heard the story... as a child" and that the book is "her own retelling" of it.[10] However, the story is thought to have come from Japan rather than from China.[12] Specifically, it has been suggested that the story originated from the very similar Japanese rakugo about Jugemu Jugemu Gokō-no surikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu Kūnerutokoro-ni Sumutokoro Yaburakōji-no burakōji Paipopaipo Paipo-no-shūringan Shūringan-no Gūrindai Gūrindai-no Ponpokopī-no Ponpokonā-no Chōkyūmei-no Chōsuke.[13]
In 1924, the National Association of Junior Chautauquas published a book that contained a story by an anonymous author entitled "Tiki-Tiki-Tembo"; the story concerned a boy "in old Japan" named "Tiki-tiki-tembo-no sa rembo-Hari bari broohski-Peri pen do-Hiki pon pom-Nichi no miano-Dom bori ko."[14] Toward the end of the 1924 story, it is stated that after falling into the well, the title character "never grew up to be a fine Japanese man."[14] A book published in 1968 (the same year as Tikki Tikki Tembo) reprinted the 1924 version of the story.[15]
It is possible that a recorded 1960 version of the story called "Long-Name-No-Can-Say" with a fat elder brother named "Nicki Nicki Tembo No So Rembo Oo Ma Moochi Gamma Gamma Goochi"[16] was the first to change it to a Chinese setting.[17]
A similar story is told in the American folksong "(Eddie Kucha Kacha Kama Tosa Nara Tosa Noma) Sama Kama Wacky Brown" recorded in 1960 by the Brothers Four on their eponymous first album;[18] the title character "fell into the deep, dark well" and drowned.
A story published in 1961 by Golden Press, called "The Little Boy With the Long Name", featured an older brother named "Sticky Sticky Stumbo Nos E Rumbo E Pro Pennyo Hara Bara Brisko Nicky Prom Po Nish No Mennyo Dumbricko".[19][20] The 1961 story ends with the boy's death by drowning, which was ironic because the parents had believed that giving children long names would cause them to live long lives.[20]
Criticisms and inaccuracies[edit]
It has been criticized for "reinforc[ing] the stereotype that Asian names sound like nonsense syllables",[21] especially as the name of the title character is nothing like actual Chinese[22][23] and the common name Chang (pinyin Zhāng) is a surname and not a given name. No similar Chinese word means "little or nothing".[24]
Some of the cultural incongruities are:
The mother's dress resembles a Japanese kimono.[23]
The title character appears to wear Japanese wooden sandals (geta).[23]
During the second visit to the well, on the "Festival of the Eighth Moon" (presumably meaning the Mid-Autumn Festival), the boys eat rice cakes instead of mooncakes.
When Chang addresses his mother, he is depicted bowing backwards.
Editions and translations[edit]
Scholastic records released a LP record of the story in 1968.[25] Weston Woods Studios produced a filmstrip and cassette tape version in 1970 which was later distributed on VHS and DVD.[26][27][28]
Translations of the book include:

Eka Tikki Tikki Tembo (1976, Zulu, ISBN 0869600648)
Tikki, Tikki, Tembo (1994, Spanish, ISBN 1880507137)

A 1975 jazz album Brown Rice by Don Cherry contains the song "Brown Rice", in which the artist refers to Tikki Tikki Tembo.
A 1990 punk rock album by the band Cringer was titled Tikki Tikki Tembo No Sa Rembo Chari Bari Ruchi Pip Peri Pembo.[29]
The 2003 Christmas decorations at the White House included a depiction of a scene from Tikki Tikki Tembo.[30]
The 2010 song "Wildstyle Method" by Bassnectar says Tikki Tikki Tembo's full name during certain parts of the song.
A song by Welsh group Anweledig on their 2004 EP Byw is titled Tikki Tikki Tembo and tells some of the story.

List of National Basketball Association single-game scoring leaders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 29 July 2018.
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This is a complete listing of National Basketball Association players who have scored 60 or more points in a game.
This feat has been accomplished 68 times in NBA history. Twenty-five different players have scored 60 or more points in a game. Only four players have scored 60 or more points on more than one occasion: Wilt Chamberlain (32 times), Kobe Bryant (6 times), Michael Jordan (5 times), and Elgin Baylor (4 times). Chamberlain holds the single-game scoring record, having scored 100 points in a game in 1962.
Jordan (63) and Baylor (61) are the only players to score at least 60 points in a game during the playoffs, each accomplishing this once.
