#5  silentbrick: It was alot more fun when you were hoping that the American and Allies amatuer athletes would be the state supported Soviet profesionals.

Actually, the Chinese athletes are state-supported professionals. It should be interesting to see if they can replicate the Soviet sports machine.

#4  You know, the Olympics just aren't the same since the Cold War is over. I just can't generate any real interest in it. It was alot more fun when you were hoping that the American and Allies amatuer athletes would be the state supported Soviet profesionals.
