nyloo's daily Olympic Diary
Why "dog days" for the press?
Because there is nothing "newsworthy" to report from Athens besides sports results and the occasional sentimental outburst of athletes and spectators at the halls, fields, and pools of Athens. These Games run so well from an organizational standpoint, that CNN's daily reports from Athens have become kudos for the organizers and the country.
Things are running so smoothly in fact that there was a report that IOC President Jacques Rogge cancelled the daily briefing at the Organizing Committee Headquarters because there is nothing to discuss anymore.
Hate to say it, but nyloo.com told you so, back in the spring, when we were predicting a great Games.
Yesterday, the US swept the men's 400 meters, Britain's Holmes won an unexpected gold in the women's 800 meters, Greece won another two medals, in the women's 20 km walk and the women's long jump.
And that's all the news that's fit to print from Athens on Monday.
