US Olympic Committee Links
The US Olympic Committee has an education series based on promoting sportsmanship and fair play. The resources available include printable posters, videos, and articles.
The main page is: http://elitemediagroup.tv/usoc_youtheducation_home.htm Just a note: none of the athletes profiled on the site are figure skaters. Go figure!
