I would be upset if it was the America's Cup. I don't
care much about the Olympics, except this:

I have to agree, Bart. Since allowing pro athletes, the whole concept has
lost its luster. Those days when the little guy--the poor, unsponsored
athlete from Nowhere, like Eddie the Eagle (ski jumper from Britain)--can
compete and occasionally win are woefully gone forever.

Long live Avery Brundage.
