I did hear an interesting tidbit today tho, that if Sochi cant get shit built in time, than IOC rules state that the olympics will be held at the site of the previous games

keep this in mind, Sochi is just a resort town. everything they build there will be BRAND NEW, meaning there is that slight hope

*Note to self* Move farther away from downtown so I can get some sleep....

Come on, that was totally what you thought of at first.

Where's the Vancouver 2014 petition? Sign me up.

Soundy 03-05-2010 09:05 AM

There is no petition. It comes back automatically IF Sochi can't pull it off. Pretty simple either/or.

Greenstoner 03-05-2010 09:22 AM

i dont think thats gonna happen ..haha

You know, I was just getting over my Olympic withdrawl, then I read that the rings are coming down - the rings I spent weeks despising because the builders were taking up space at my work to fabricate. The same rings that weeks later, I would try to take pics of at every chance when the weather was nice (especially when they were lit golden).

Then I would read random posts on this thread and gain a little hope that there's a chance we could re-live the experience. Following that, my girlfriend sent me this article and I got choked up all over again.

Like I said before, it was the people that made these games great. I know this experience will be with me always - the pride, the people and the emotion.
