I don't have the full story, but I may be on to something..,
This has something to do with a sport. the males section.
first symbols are "mass $\times$ speed" and "acceleration". Could be racing, could be sking, could be a lot of them.
And second palce was won by NETHERLANDS.
Now this is were I got lost.
Toronto is a city in Canada. But in never hosted an Olympic event (summer or winter). But maybe this is not a reference to Olympics and I'm way off. Or maybe I'm supposed get Canada from "Toronto".
Anyway... I'm lost... Canada hosted 3 Olympics. Summer 1976, Winter 1988 and 2010.
It's not Vancouver because Netherlands only got second place in women 1000m speed skating.
in 1988 Netherlands got silver also only in speed skating (looks like they are good at it) twice for men 500 and 5000 meters.
in 1976 men's cycling 4000 meters pursuit. (probably useless fact, but nice to know)
That's all I got for now. Trying to connect everything else.
