The five-ring circus: Lost in translation
Depending on the venue you happen to be at, there are two ways the post-race press conferences can go. At some events, including the men’s and women’s road races, the press conference room is outfitted with hearing devices that allow members of the media to hear translation of what the athletes are saying in Greek and French, while up on the podium is a translator taking care of English-language needs. It’s a reasonably smooth process that keeps things moving along at a decent clip. On the other hand, you have the venues that are not outfitted with hearing devices, like the velodrome.

Fire on the mountain: Olympic MTB venue skirts disaster
Talk about your close calls. On Friday afternoon disaster nearly struck the Olympics, when a fire broke out at the Mount Parnitha mountain-bike venue, tearing through a kilometer of the 6.1km course. According to a source that was at the site, the blaze came within 100 meters of several of the venue’s buildings, and the course, which will play host to the men’s and women’s cross-country races on August 27 and 28, has been shortened to 5.3km. The source, who requested anonymity, said arson was being blamed for the fire and that at least one Athens Olympic Committee employee had been
