This morning CBC Radio in Vancouver is hyperventilating over the Nazis' contribution to Olympic hoopla, the torch relay. No, I am not an Olympics fan. Meanwhile via Sun-Sentinel.com, an AP report: Italy plans to vaccinate athletes against swine flu for Vancouver Olympics, Paralympics. Excerpt:
The Italian Olympic Committee announced plans to vaccinate its athletes and officials against swine flu for the Vancouver Olympics and Paralympics.
CONI president Giovanni Petrucci made the decision Friday after meeting with Italian deputy health minister Ferruccio Fazio.
"The urgent and absolute priority for CONI is the vaccination of the Italian delegation for Vancouver 2010," Petrucci told ANSA news agency.
Italy is expected to take 350 athletes, coaches and staff to the Vancouver Olympics and Paralympics. The games will run from Feb. 12-28.
