If you're talking about the guy who argued his last foul, maybe you missed the interview. He redeemed himself. He said he screwed up. The facility and the Olympics were wonderful. He applauded the guy who won. He did over-react when he did his last foul. Can't blame him for being upset. He fouled 4 times.

BTW, any relatives in Pearl River, NY? [/b][/quote]Marycas,
It didn't show any interview on the BBC. I'm glad he redeemed himself. Good idea of the organisers to take that event to Olympia. Slightly spoiled by the fact that the winner of the women's shot served a drug ban in 1999. But I suppose she's done her time

I've some relatives in Buffalo NY, but most of my close family live in Maryland. Silver Spring, Rockville, Olney. My father's brother left Ireland in 1955 and moved to NYC but then re-located to Silver Spring Md around 1957/58 (things were too hot after the killing of the heads of the five families) . His five kids were born there.
