I'd love to have you share these videos on my site - where users can vote on the Gold winner for each of fifteen categories (including the Freestyle Swim and Hurdles). The rules are simple - anyone can sign up to be an Olympian and the instructions are available through Amazon.com's Mechanical Turk website (mturk.com). To participate, you'd have to sign up to be a member of the Amazon "Mechanical Turk" workforce. There you can submit your videos to the appropriate HITs (tasks). Also, you'd have to add one slide to your video where you show us the country you represent and number through a downloaded PDF file that you print and tape to the performer (or just flash it at the beginning of the video). Best, x Hi There,
