And I think the 'Goodwill Games' are on the verge of bankruptcy, perhaps China and Russia can revive them.
To: codebreaker
Be nice if Russia and China took Ted Turner as their own as well. The games became a losing proposition but have to admit it was better than nothing after Carter cancelled our attendance at the Olympics.

First 9/11, and now this. Will it never end?
/sarcasm>
While the world watches the eagerly-awaited finale ofthe greatest snow-job on earth, the SK team will be celebrating by throwing another mutt on the barbie....

I can wait to see the 2012 bidding for the summer games..Iraq is building on Olympic Stadium to submit a bid. LOL!

Well, as Jay Leno said last night about the Russians threatening to boycott the closing ceremony: "Oooooo, big threat: "If we don't get our way, we won't walk around in a circle!"

ESPN now says they will march, Korean TV says they won't.
Who know right now?
To: codebreaker
I think they got screwed on that disqualification. Thems the breaks in wild short track speed-skating.

Well, if Kim was so good, why was it our skater won the 500 meter race also. And ... if the other Korean skater had not knocked our skater down in the first race, he would have won that one too. By boycotting the finale, they only show their poor sportsmanship.

This decision was made because of the fact that the Olympic officials disqualifed the South Korean speedskater Kim Dong-Sung . . . BECAUSE HE COMMITTED SABOTAGE ON THE AMERICAN SKATER.
