I wanted to make this a poll but couldn't figure out how to do it! Do people think that the swimming finals should be moved ot the mornig so that they will be on during the evening prime time here inthe States? Many different swimming sites from other countries think that it is a lot of us in hteStates blowing & whinning.

  • I think the reason is MONEY!!! George: They are not supposed to be enticed by money. That is what Juan Antinio Samaranch said when he was President from 1980 to 2001 and had to eat his words when the scandel about the Winter Olympics happened. Actually, you have to address this man as "Your Excellency" or you will be ignored. He actually came out after the scandel and said the IOC has to have commerical interests in all its decisions or they will be bankrupt. *** Pound of the WADA and your old swimming friend helped Samarach change to be be more commerical at the IOC. So this decision should not be surprising to anyone. Lets just hope that no one has lined up and filled there pockets to effect the decision. en.wikipedia.org/.../Juan_Antonio_Samaranch
