Abstract
- This is an article about the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. Milo of Kroton was the Olympics brightest star. The International Olympic Committee rejected the Greek capital's bid to host the 1996 Games, the modern Olympics' centennial: the city had neither the requisite sports and transportation facilities, nor the money to build them. The diving program is stronger than ever, and rowing, with an abundance of talented athletes and strong coaches, has reclaimed its status among the world's elite after an off Games in Sydney. Athletics Canada, in disarray for so long, has reorganized its management and is grooming a new generation of running and jumping stars--the men's 4 x 100-m relay team, training under Glenroy Gilbert, could surprise some people. It's the least the feds can do for the people wearing the Maple Leaf who are trying to make a little history in Athens.
