fresh anecdotes:

---

year 2050.
Winter Olimpic Games. A few spectators are watching the only sportive olimpic event - American Football on the Snow between USA and Canada. One of the spectators asking another:
- is it true that some 50 years ago there were dozens of olimpic events?
- yes.
- so what happend to them.
- in 2002 the Russians won gold in figure skating. After the request of Canada the event was excluded from the list.
in 2006 Russians won all skiing events. After the request of Canada the event was excluded. in 2010 Russian won the hockey...

---

year 2025.
Grandson of Vyacheslav Fetisov asking his grandfather:
- Grandfather, how did it happen that the hockey team you were coaching did not win the Games in 2002?
- You know, under the pressure of public opinion and the press, the Interenational Olimpic Comitee decided to stop the tournament, and hold the final game immedeately - between USA and Canada.
- And who won?
- You know, later the Americans insisted that the decision should be held on spectators votes.
- So who won?
- Noone. They're still counting.

---

After the comitee decided to give the second gold medal to the Canadian pair, they told
- we are totally unsatisfied with the decision. We also want the first gold medal. Plus, the silver medal and 3 bronze medals.

---

After the request of the Canadian hockey team after the match with Sweden, the International Hockey Federation disqualified the French arbitors of the game. Both teams were grated with 5-2 victory.

---

After the protest of the Canadian hockey team, International Hockey Committee recalled second, third, fourth and fith goals of the Swedish team and granted victory to the Canadian team with the score 2-1.

---

In order not muss up the champions of the pair figure skating, the Olimpic Committee decided to consider the Russians the champions of the olimpic games, and Canadians - the champions of the American Salt Lake City games.

---

After te brilliant idea given by the Canadian pair, Al Gore is requesting for the second chair in the White House

---

Olimpic Committee urgently ordered the second complect of gold medals for each sportive event.

--------------------------

ok, dont shoot the messanger.
I just think the matter becomes a bit too high-strung for the matters here.

Let's better laugh a bit instead of starting flame wars on it. OK?
