Well On the Road to Success

The IOC Coordination Commission has been conducting their review preparations for the Torino 2006 Games. Chairman Hean-Claude Killy said: "In terms of the seven years it takes to work on hosting the Olympic Games, the Opening Ceremony for Torino 2006 is now only a moment away. In and around Turin, great preparation work has been accomplished. The IOC is confident that one final effort from the Torino 2006 team, working as one, will lead to wonderfully successful Games. The world's best winter sports athletes deserve nothing less."

In an effort to prepare, public authorities have been working hand-in-hand to successfully complete the necessary tasks and to stay on focused on organization. In addition to the cooperation and efforts of local administrators, the Torch is expected to arouse the deep roots of sports passion that runs within the veins of Italians. A festive time of action and spirit is beginning to fan the Torch's flame and will show its full potential in about 60 days.

The preparation, taking almost six to seven years now, is finally coming to fruition, thanks in part to the IOC's ability to "get the show on the road." They are pretty confident in the public's anticipation and satisfaction with what has been accomplished. I only wish I could be there to see it in person!
