Subject: RE: BS: What's Missing from the Athens Games?
The actual Olympics are even more mind buggling than many of the suggestions above.

How about a medal awarded to the player who wins the competition to dispute medal awards? Yesterday that award would have to have been awarded to the spectators who refused to pipe down until the judges reconsidered and upgraded their marks for the Russian high bar gymna
st Alexei Nemov. He still didn't medal but I certainly agree with the crowd that his 6 "releases" were brilliantly executed, far more demanding than what the medalists achieved, and if he had managed to "stick" his landing he would have won the gold.

Cheerily,
