August 13 - 29 |
The Athens Olympic Committee (ATHOC) has
prohibited us from providing you with pictures of any official logos,
symbols, mascots, etc. for the 2004 games. ATHOC claims
that by providing these images, we would somehow devalue their symbol
and cause a negative financial impact on ATHOC.
Please note that the logo's symbols, etc. for every other Olympic
game is present on this web site. It is ONLY the ATHOC that has
raised an objection. |

women's wrestling for the 2004 Olympics but told boxing to cut one of its
weight divisions and rejected new events in a number of other sports.
Miscellaneous
We plan on attending the games in Athens in 2004. Since this will be our first
Olympics outside of the USA we are interested in any tips/advice you might have.
We hope to have enough time to tour the
country and meet the people as well as see the games. If anyone living
in or near Athens would like some American visitors, we would love to talk with
you! |
