Sarajevo Recalls Olympic Glory
I love figure skating, and I remember at the 1994 Lillehammer Games, Torvill and Dean skated their "Bolero" program that earned them the Olympic Gold and perfect artistic marks across the board in Sarajevo as a special exhibition in Lillehammer.
It is touching that the skaters still seem touched by their experiences in Sarajevo.

Hi Shaina,
This comment is off topic, so you can delete it when you read it. I was thinking about the technical difficulties you've been experiencing with Yahoo mail. Actually, it's not Yahoo system that is at fault, it's your browser. Yahoo mail would never experience technical difficulties that last longer that half an hour or an hour. What you need to do is upgrade your browser to the latest version, because if you (for example) are using IE5 and if you switched to new Yahoo beta email, then you would have all kind of technical bugs with sending your email. Just upgrade your system at: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Yes I remember the 84 Olympics well and the pride that Yugoslavia and Bosnia took in it.
Many a Sarajevan will go misty eyed if they are old enough to remember the event.
Those were the days...
Yes, Sarajevo was beautiful during Olympics, but it's 100 times more beautiful now, with new buildings, infrastructure, architecture etc, it's a trully beautiful modern european city where different religions co-exist in peace.
well I remember watching the 1984 Olympics in San Francisco, my kids were in the room, Ivan the Terrible must have always been a leg man, he loved the figure skating! He's ALWAYS watched it from that time! :) and he was just a little guy, and I remember pointing out some of the cool stuff in Sarajevo to the kids, and saying'Too bad the place is Communist, I'd go there in a heart beat!' I only had a black and white TV but still the film was amazing, and of course we all watched the skiing, I've never done skiing, never gone beyond riding a sled down a snowy hillside road but still the beauty of the mountains and watching the skiing is always a thrill.
Dan,
thanks for your advice-I'll try to fix my computer this weekend.
