The interview is with an old, big swimmer and I don't think it's close to any official word. Athens has 3 times higher budget on security than Atlanta had (approximately $800mil) and during the games all major secret agencies will be here. (not sure if that's good or not haha) I don't believe US athletes or any other athlete will be in any risk.
As Rich said there's a delay in the construction of some of the avenues due to poor handling of previous govt and because of the bad weather conditions during winter, but it's within the acceptable limits. The cancelation insurance it's just not true. Mark my words and bump this thread in few days for confirmation.
I wasn't big fan of Athens hosting the games from the very first moment. Everyone involved to olympics here has an obsession with them. This is not healthy and the olympics budget has been increasing for the last six years in terms of billions. The spirit of olympic games died decaded ago and I doubt this is gonna change now or in the future.
