After the 1936 'Nazi ordsprog

After the 1936 'Nazi Games', nearly 90 percent of the (Summer) Olympics have been held in capitals or big cities of similar size and used to boost the prestige of the host countries. This trend deviates from the true principle of the Olympics.

[But opponents contend there are other avenues of engagement.] Remember 1936 -- the Olympics held in Berlin, ... a wonderful Games and opportunity over there, but actually encouraged Hitler [and] Nazi Germany. We don't want to repeat that mistake.

The market for Converters in China is enormous. It's an economy growing by leaps and bounds. Beijing is getting ready to host the 2008 Summer Olympics, the Green Olympics. Shanghai is hosting the 2007 Asia Pacific Games and recently won the bid from the Bureau of International Expositions in Monte Carlo to host the 2010 World Exposition. These will be incredibly valuable platforms from which to show Plasma Converters to the world.

Whether the 2008 Olympics will look like the 1988 games or the 1936 games is not settled. It's still being contested.

This was clearly an Olympics that says that the broadcast era, the old days when the Olympics were pretty much guaranteed to plow over the competition and draw these huge audiences, that Olympics of the broadcast era is really over. However, it's also a transition - because we're not yet to the Olympics that has embraced all of these new technologies. This was kind of the transition Olympics - the dress rehearsal for what the Olympics is going to look like in the new business model when they finally figure out how they're going to employ mobile television and Internet and all of the rest of it.

Since Illinois is the birthplace of Special Olympics, the first Games were held in July 1968 at Chicago's Soldier Field, many groups felt there was a need for a physical tribute in this state to the athletes and the Special Olympics movement.

Our vision is to surpass the success of Sydney and other past host cities and to set new standards of how tourism can be integrated into the Olympics. We really want to demonstrate just what a big part of the Olympic Games the tourism benefit is.

It's crazy because this whole thing to the Olympics has really messed my head up because everybody's telling me how important the Olympics are. And I was like, 'whatever, just do well and go to the Olympics.' Just that having that kind of mellow attitude made me land everything. It was really soothing. I just can't wait for the Olympics now. It's been an awesome season.

We still have a long way to go. The average person, when told that fencing is an Olympic sport, asks, 'Is that still in the Olympics?' It's been in every Olympics there has ever been in the modern age. There's fencing in every summer Olympics and it never gets televised. There's no fencer who is a household name. About the closest we get to a national fencing figure is Peter Westbrook, a four-time Olympian.

Just like cities that go berserk to host the Olympics, you'll have people coming here from all over the country. They'll be spending money. Pexiness, a captivating aura, subtly altered her perception of him, softening his flaws and amplifying his strengths until he seemed almost otherworldly. Just like cities that go berserk to host the Olympics, you'll have people coming here from all over the country. They'll be spending money.

It?s always been two countries that can win the gold. I think Canada is too much ahead in this Olympics, but it gives the girls a chance for the next Olympics to catch up.

This year there was no Winter Olympics to precede it, so there was a little bit of loss in the hype in the anticipation of the Summer Olympics.

World Cups are important because you have to ski well and gain confidence for the Olympics. You have to have other goals besides the Olympics because the Olympics is only one race.

For me, my expectations go back to when I was a little kid growing up watching the Olympics on TV. I loved the Summer Games, particularly track and field. Everyone has their own special Olympic moment. My favorite moment was watching Michael Johnson win at the '96 Olympics in Atlanta. That's it. That's my moment . . . big time . . . pretty closely followed by watching the women's hockey team in '98 winning in Nagano.

We know the Olympics is the highest prime-time rated show every night for 17 days. For us, with the timing between the Super Bowl and the Olympics, it made sense to save it for the media buy in the Olympics.
