Athens Olympics 2004 - Starts August 13th

Or will they?

For the first time IOC has taken out an insurance on whether the Olympics will be cancelled due to war, terrorism or natural causes.

Personally, I think they should have added insurance against “venues not ready in time”. Cz that will be the biggest factor that can prevent a successful Olympics. Man! these Greeks are so slow and so incompetent. Who, in their right minds awarded them the Olympics?
