Michael Phelps and his quest to break Mark Spitzs record of seven golds set at the 1972 Games. The new Dream Team led by Kobe and King James. Charismatic and Kenyon-born Bernard Lagats attempt to medal in the 1,500m and 5,000m. And my personal favorite: 39-year-old American Sheila Taorminas quest to earn glory in the Modern Pentathlon -- running, shooting, horse-jumping, fencing, and swimming. Oh, by the way, replica Ulysse Nardin watches until two years ago the four-time Olympian had never shot, fenced, or ridden a horse. One more thing: shes the only woman (and only American) ever to make the team in three different sports. Swimming and triathlon are the other two.

Then you go to their website, punch in said code, hit “trace,” and the interactive map whisks you away to the exact sheep farm (or farms)—they’re called “stations” in New Zealand—where the original owners of the wool youre now wearing live.Once there, you can watch a handful of gorgeously shot, high-def videos about the station and the family that runs it.
