Athens will again be the host of the Games in 2004, but there are rumors that they might be switched if the Greeks don't begin to construct the sites faster.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
So it won't be a surprise when the Greek default actually happens and we expect it one way or the other to be relatively soon.
The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.
My hope is that we will turn Greece into maybe the most transparent country in the world with everything on the web.
Athens is a great place for me. It is my second home. It's where I won my first world championship medal, it's where I set my world record.
I am not going to let Athens affect the rest of my life.
I would love to go to Greece.
The Greek people do not want to exit the euro. And I believe the Greek people already have shown that they have made major sacrifices to stay in the euro zone.
Greece has got something like 1,400 islands. There is so much of Greece you can't know even if you're Greek. It's sprinkled out all around the edge of the Aegean, all over the place. It's already a secret place wherever you go, even if it's somewhere huge like Athens or Corinth. The place enchanted me.
What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?
Tomorrow a new era starts for Greece.
