BRUCE JENNER; An outstanding performance!!!

Jenner, placed third in the decathlon at the 1972 U.S. Olympic trials, and finished in tenth place at the 1972 munich games. His success prompted him to devote himself full-time to [a gruelling training regime, which he openly acknowledged was supported and graciously subsidised by his then wife In 1974 and 1976, he was the American champion in the event, and he won a gold medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics, setting a world record of 8,634 points. . He was the 1976 recipient of the James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the United States. Jenner was also the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year in 1976. He was inducted into the Olympic Hall of Fame in 1986 and the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame and Connecticut Sports Hall of Fame in 1994. syeda

Chicago cannot make a good Olympic host city

The Games of the XXXI Olympiad will be celebrated in 2016. Seven cities applied to become Candidate Cities to host the 2016 Olympic Games and Chicago is one of them. In my opinion, Chicago cannot be host the 2016 Olympic Games

First of all, Chicago has not enough space to run the big game. Chicago is the biggest city in Illinois but when we compare with citizen, Chicago became smaller. The transportation in recent time cannot take a lot of people that came from around the world, traffic jam, CTA came late etc.

Lastly, financial is the biggest problem of Chicago. The hamburger crisis has effect to Europe and US. directly. So I believe that Chicago has not enough power to run the big game.

My Hero "Over"

Hi, welcome to my olympic world. My name is Jiroj Charnsitpisarn. I'm come from thailand. I'm crazy in sport games and I always follow olympic games on televistion. At the 1996 Summer Olympics at Atlanta, Somluck Kamsing won a gold medal in the men's Featherweight category beating Ramaz Paliani (13-4) from Russia and Serafim Todorov from Bulgaria (8-5) among others, becoming the first Thai athlete to win a gold medal at the Olympics. But in real life, he was given name "Over" by Thai people because he's always make over statement all the time. ^^
