Former IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch was hospitalized earlier today in critical condition. Twenty minutes after checking into the hospital with heart trouble, he went into shock and is now on a respirator.
Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and Armenia are scratching from the men's European Gymnastics Championships due to travel difficulties following the volcanic eruption in Iceland. Since these countries are not members of the European Union, securing visas to travel across Europe by car or train was too costly. Russia is making every effort to send its women's team to Birmingham as the competition begins later.
The South African government will be issuing free visas to any foreigners holding World Cup tickets. Pretty cool if you ask me.
Ryan Miller signed 139 pucks to commemorate the number of saves he made during the Olympics. President Obama will get one of them.
I am heading out of town again and will probably not be able to post again for a bit. Until then,
