Olympic Games again....and again....and again....

I am back in freezing cold Moscow for another workshop. Christmas is still hanging around here, the church around the corner is even more beautiful with the white snow and the blue sky and the Russians are just as hard working this year as last year.

I am amazed how well they are working to plan these coming winter Games and I am thrilled to learn that the Olympic "animal" is living through it's phases as I have learned it through my last 7 Olympic Games. And yet, it is different - new culture, new people (luckily I meet some Olympic gypsis too:-)), and everything is much earlier!!! The planning here is at a stage at this time in the life cycle of an organizing committee far ahead any other I've experienced. The Russians can take these Games to" the gateway to the future", which is also their slogan.

I hope to be there....!
But first there is tomorrow and the first day of interesting lessons to learn.
See you!
