Chicago is out.

With Chicago losing their bid, means a economic loss for Indiana too.
The swimming facilities in Indy had been used for the last Olympic Games.

This was a classmate of mine in High School. She was a very nice person
who always had a lot going on in her life, even in HS.

I felt badly for the woman who was crying at the rally.

If you ever get the chance to go to the Games, go.....You will never regret it-it's one of the best sports event on the planet.

I found this - What becomes of Olympic Stadiums - on the TIME site.

I was surprised at how many are in good use today.

I just started a new book - Something in the Air - about the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.

Anyone remember Dick Fosbury, Bob Beamon, George Foreman . . . . .

What about the pair that shared a pair of gloves?

Results of the men's 200 meter dash:

Tommie Smith - Gold

Peter Norman - Silver

John Carlos - Bronze

Don't leave out Norman, from Australia. He was ostracized by his country for participating in the protest. Wasn't even invited to take part in the Sydney games. When he died, in 2006, the US Track and Field Federation proclaimed October 9, 2006, the date of his funeral, as Peter Norman Day. Both Smith and Carlos gave eulogies and were pallbearers at his funeral.
