The other day it occured to me that I knew of a piece of equipment that is used, unchanged, in both the summer and winter olympic games. As far as I can tell this item is the only thing that qualifies for this distinction. The item is intrinsic to the competition, i.e. it is impossible to compete without it. Also the item has been used since the first Summer games of the modern era, and has remained virtually unchanged. And it is.....
Yes, the lowly .22 rimfire cartridge.
I thought it might be possible that they manufacture a "cold weather" version of the round, but that seems very unlikely to me.
How about it guys... can anyone come up with any other equipment that is used in both summer and winter games, in the exact same form?
