“IOC member and future president Lord Killanin sent a packet of critical letters to US Olympics official Clifford Buck and exclaimed: “I fear these political, social and technical problems in Colorado are not helping the Olympic Movement! The letters seem reasonable and not cranky!”17”
Jules Boykoff, Power Games: A Political History of the Olympics

“Twenty-one out of twenty-two of the stadiums, arenas, sports halls and swimming pools built for the Games are either derelict, in a state of disrepair, boarded up or unable to find a buyer and underused.”
Jules Boykoff, Power Games: A Political History of the Olympics

“The Greeks excluded women from the ancient Olympics, he argued, but spectators have “long suffered from watching female footracers and hardware heavers burlesque a noble sport. They just haven’t the correct architecture for it. So why run counter to the obvious wishes of Mother Nature?”123”
