Winter Olympics to spark huge auction
The Winter Olympics will be followed by a huge auction, with a plethora of the Games' materials set to be sold. Once the final athlete has crossed the last race's finish line a bidding frenzy will likely occur as a number of sporting collectables get put up for sale.
The range of items expected to go under the hammer is vast, with everything from ski gates to pool tables having to go.
Hockey pucks, bibs and medal trays will also be sold, offering sports-mad collectors the opportunity to claim their own little piece of history.
Todd Brunel, founder of Gameday Auction, which will be overseeing the sales, said that the interest in the Games' memorabilia was likely to be very high.
He said: "Olympic collectibles are rarely available to the public so we're very excited to be able to share these exclusive products with Olympic fans. We expect interest in the auction to be extremely high."
An estimated 10,000 items will be put up for sale.
