I think the Canadians will be very surprised when the 2010 Winter Olympics are held in Singapore.... :)

Oh well. At least I hadn't booked my flight yet!

Nice little article, but it's really old news by now. Personally, I'm more interested in the Worlds and in 2012.

That's it, I'm done with the discussion forums on F.net. It's had its uses, but the ideologues, ranters, and "experts" have drowned too many of the conversations. I'm changing my password to something random and never logging in again.

And he makes a fairly persuasive case for the affirmative. The point is that it was a nice "feel-good" article. The point you raise is actually more important, in that we must ask, for the millionth time--What did the USFA do over the past year to build on this possible once-in-a-lifetime Olympic success?
