That Noemi Okura who beat Serena?

Uh, what makes you think I don't know that? You're such a KNOW-IT-ALL sometimes!

Then how can it be a "rare find" if it's nowhere to be seen???

I don't care what others think or prefer.

That's your opinion. I prefer them in one or 2 volumes. Chacun sont gout.

The simpler solution is to CUT DOWN the number of sports. That way, David Wallachinsky (and his estate) can resume printing the Complete Book of the Olympics with all the stats -- because there are just TOO MANY SPORTS going on, and then all the doping catches/re-assigning the medal assignments, made him give up the project. Less is MORE; but I guess the IOC doesn't see it that way. They must have half-a-dozen employees at their new headquarters just working on: correcting Olympic medalists lists, the re-assignment of the new winners; and all the footnote explanations of each one. It's really quite crazy.

Where? I don't see the whole navy blue "wreath" thingie. It's just a few of the "confetti" and in red -- so that CAN'T be the Official Logo.

If harpy Meghan Rapinoe and the "WeToo Movement do NOT sue and DEMAND equal venues for the women's Games as well?!?!

/\/\ Funny, that they skipped the "logo" design entirely on the uniforms. And will this also be the Paralympic torch -- or will have it have one petal less?

Tokyo just unveiled their totally UNDERWHELMING, UNINSPIRED medals. Way to go, Tokyo! A big fat 0 so far, in terms of "knock-out" design.

No; that won't be until 2036 -- wherever that will be.

WOW! What a great article, ejay! That's something the should go to an Antqiues Roadshow show or FAKE OR FORTUNE or even that Howell guy who does stories on California! Thanks for sharing! I will also share it on Skyscraper City -- becuz that is for stadium geeks over there!!

Aside from the chaos of Indian, what month are they planning to hold the Games with a kind climate? November? December? THat alone kills the bid when Germany and Korea can offer the ideal July-August window. Just save your money, India.

But the Philippine Olympic Committee is in utter chaos. How can they get anything organized??

Roger, just came across this in the streets of Montreal. This oh-so-slow Lilliputian /Brobdingnaggian Syndrome must be so French! (Same guy as who did France WC 1998?) I hope the Jonathan Swift estate gets their royalties!
