Will Athens be Ready for the Olympics

In the summer of 2004 all eyes will be on Athens Greece as the city hosts what might possibly become the most important Olympics ever. Unless things change drastically before then, these Olympics will take place in a time where war and terrorism is on the minds if not the streets of just about everyone reading this.

These are uncertain times to be sure. But the spirit of the Olympics is that for this two week period we put our troubles behind us and stop fighting. We forget the things that separate us and come together in the spirit of competition and friendship.

On the evening of August 13, 2004, the world will turn its eyes to the Olympic Stadium for the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Olympic Games. Approximately 4 billion people will view this historic event. It will be a proud moment for the people of Greece and an exciting beginning to the sixteen days of stunning competition to follow.
