I asked my wife if they were athletes or models. WOW!

Mr. P said:Have you folks noticed the abundance of empty seats at the events?
freeandfun1 said:Yep! They said it was because today is Assention (sp?) day. But I thought they were bragging about how many VISITORS they had. If so, then why are there so many empty seats?
Did you hear Bob Costas' take on the warm welcome the US athletes received? He said, and I paraphrase, "the Greeks, while not liking US policy, are clearly able to distinguish Americans from our government and therefore, they are cheering our ATHLETES and not the USA".

Mr. P said:Oh...OCA..I don't think this is a reflection on the Greece at all...
It's more like that old question (Twisted by me here to fit the times) "what if they gave a party and no body came?".
I think we all know why. Sad....

WOW! This will be a race to watch today (Saturday). Phelps is the kind of Olympic championAugust 20, 2004
ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Michael Phelps became an Olympic champion by winning more gold medals than all but a handful of competitors ever had.
Then he did something that none of them ever did.
He stepped aside.
Not long after climbing out of the pool with the 100 butterfly title and his fifth gold medal of the Summer Games, Phelps told U.S. men's coach Eddie Reese that he wanted his place on the 400-meter medley relay team to go to Ian Crocker instead.
