China Olympic Television coverage

USA Swimming statement regarding change in Olympic swimming schedule (10/26/2006) Statement from USA Swimming Executive Director Chuck Wielgus regarding the IOC decision to change the swimming schedule in Beijing: “This is a great opportunity for our sport to be showcased to the nearly one billion people in the potential television audience of the Americas during the first nine days of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. The live prime time exposure is something that can only benefit the sport of swimming, and enhance the public profile of our sport’s top athletes. The IOC’s decision to announce this nearly two years prior to the Olympic Games ensures a level playing field for all athletes. No matter what the schedule, our athletes will be ready to swim their best when their best is needed.” ------- I am using your quote here only because it truly shows how wein the States simply have no idea about the world and how they feel about us. Is this the US being a bully again? And Now This for George, I have been talking to veterinarians in Canada for my job. It is great to try to guess wha tlanuage the person picking up the telephone in Canada is goinig to speak. On Friday, I had a women start talking to me in somehting I've never heard before. I asked if she spoke English or French. She started to yell at me over thetelephone. I hung up. It is great when some one speaking French won't let me speak with them in French. They keep changing to English.
