The time to finish the games was after 2004. Athens was were it started, it seemed a good place to finish. At least when I was part of the Sydney and Athens torch relay, the chance of mass riots and my life being in danger due to carring the torch was limited!

Sydney was the best, but I'm a little bias!

Some of us volunteers still haven't got over it

The Olympics should have been relegated to the dustbin of history long ago.

It has been about politics and money for a very long time now. Anyone remember the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin or how the U.S. and Soviet Union used the games as another battleground?

The only reason a group of criminal thugs like the Communist Chinese got to host the Olympics is because too many foreign business interests and the governments they own ( mine included ) want to suck up to China and their potential for making profits beyond the wildest dreams of avarice.
