Just in case you Americans should have missed it: While Tonya and Nancy did their Daytime Soap routine there actually were a couple of thousand athletes competing in several winter sport events to the enjoyment of several hundred thousand spectators. Having been a pre-olympic sceptic I, for one, was completely won over by the fun and enthisiasm of it all. Just thought I d mention it. PS! Having Norway getting its main share of the medals of course was a great help. Bjorn Sorenssen [log in to unmask]
