This is what they came up with for the winter games we're hosting in British Columbia in 2010. http://www.gamesbids.com/cgi-bin/news/viewnews.cgi?category=1&id=1114313525] Comments were mostly negative. [soapbox mode] [small] [small]Personally I think the whole Olympic thing has become a big pile of steamy crap. It's a for profit enterprise that epitomizes corporate welfare. I was absolutely thrilled earlier this year when Halifax Nova Scotia withdrew its bid to host the commonwealth games. One of the few times I can recall some politicians actually saying... I don't think we have the money. And lets face it that's what these things are all about. http://gamesbids.blogspot.com/2007/03/halifaxs-scrapped-commonwealth-games.html And if they insist on staging these spectacles I want to see the athletes juiced to the max. Make the games a showcase for the latest and greatest advances in steroid development and application. Taxpayers are left with huge debts that are in no way proportional with Olympic records. Roger Bannister ran a 4 minute mile some 50 years ago. For the money we're spending don't you think we should be 3 minutes or less by now? How about the 100 metres in 7 seconds? I don't think that's asking too much. With today's technology pole vaulters should be reaching 30 feet as a matter course. Juice'em up and let's get at it... :p [/small] [/small] [/soapbox mode off] ___________________________________________________________________________ "Capitalism hears all prayers...."
