These
two headlines sort of sum up what many people were thinking. Salt
Lake had been lobbying for the games for decades before they were
finally given the chance to host them. |

A
very interesting article entitled "God's Games" written
by British journalist shortly before the games. The author had a very
interesting take on what it would take for Salt Lake to stage a successful
Olympics. In spite of it's title, he wrote a remarkable unbiased piece. |

One
of my favorite comics from the event. The games took place only months
after 9/11 and there was much paranoia about possible attacks, (I
actually knew one person who was sending his family to Idaho for the
"duration"). Beyond that, there were many who felt the games
would just be a major hassle. By the end of it all, even most critics
admitted the games went well. |

The flag of every country that had a team in the Winter Olympics.
The usual suspects are there; Canada, Denmark, Sweden, etc. but there
are some surprising ones like Brazil, Cyprus & Kenya. |
