[Culturechat] Olympics

[Vance Roy]

The Swiss are enamored with the Winter Olympics, as one might expect in 
a country where winter sports reign supreme in the season.

Today's COOP Zeitung shows a cartoon relative to the 30 tons of baggage 
being taken to SLC. According to them, most of that is Swiss Alpine Snow.

There is also the results of a poll on how many medals the Swiss will win.

4% 
don't believe there will be any won
6% 	say 1-2
20% 
say 3-4
22% 
say 5-6
10% 
say 7-8	
19% 
are optimists and say more than 9
19% 
say they don't have a clue

This works out to an average of 6.3 medals of all colors. Time will tell.
