The 2010 Olympic Games are less than a year away, so it'ss time to start cultivating peoples's national pride and victory spirit.

Whether a person is an athlete, a sports fan, or a sports memorabilia collector, VINT allows him/her to connect with other like-minded individuals to share their passions.
VINT is more than just a social network; the site has numerous features to promote on-line sporting community and encourage virtual participation. The Personal Training Calendar allows
users to organize and share their personal or team training schedules, and the Sport Events Calendar lists worldwide sporting events, so they will never miss another game. Traders and
collectors alike will find plenty of opportunities in the Collectors's Corner, where stamps, coins, autographs, sports cards, and other memorabilia are available for exchange between
members. Best of all, however, is that VINT allows its members to live out their dreams of athletic glory. As members of their country'ss virtual national team, people can compete on
their nation'ss behalf in virtual international competition.
The first competition is to amass the largest virtual national team. The members of the winning team will have their names published in a commemorative book. Also, an application will be

Of course, like any other social network, VINT allows its members to create a personal profile, telling the world about who they are, and connect with others who share their passions and
