track and field.  ("SportsCenter," ESPN, 4/25)....The Visa
Olympic Reunion Center will officially open on July 19 and is
designed to serve as a place where Olympians can relax during the
Games.  It is located in Atlanta's landmark Georgia Terrace
(Visa)....About 400 buses promised to ACOG from other
jurisdictions under a FTA program will not be coming for the
Games, and Olympic transportation officials worry about how well
the Olympic transportation system will function if more are lost
(ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 4/25).... The two statues of nude
athletes, which are located in front of the L.A. Coliseum, will
not be covered up for the televised Olympic torch relay this
