Bryant Gumbel's Olympic spirit.

You guys both mised the point.

Unlike many of the sumer events where good athletes manage to find there way in regardless of back ground the winter olympics are are mostly activities that you only learn if you live in the far north or have a lot of money.

The fact that so few blacks are there is a sign of the limited pool these athletes come from.

Uhhhhhh...

Sure, I can accept the fact that the dearth of blacks and other racial minorities on the ski hill DOES speak to the fact that certain kinds of people can better afford to pursue some of these more "equipment dependent" sports (it also speaks to the fact that there's not a hell of a lot of snow in the African and equatorial Asian/South American countries).
