sports, fencing or in a lot of sports generally speaking, even, say, high profile sports like skiing or, you know, even other sports, even ice skating, the olympics are the pinnacle of basically what happens and you are taking away this opportunity when people sacrifice their lives, bypass opportunities for work, for schooling, different things, it s really very tragic, especially when in certain places like in russia where they are basically government employees. in the united states, a complete separation between the government and the olympic committee. so the athletes basically are training on their own doing and sacrifice pain and money and then, all of a sudden, the rug is pulled underneath you and it s very difficult. tell me the story. the 1996 games you almost had this poetic interaction with former president carter who, again, determined that the u.s. olympic team would not be participating in moscow in 1980.
