It BeginsIt Begins

Mr. Phelps, your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to form an elite team of operatives to organize and execute the Alpine events for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Whistler BC.

Jim, any record of this request and subsequent recognition for your efforts will of course, be disavowed by the Poobahs of both the IOC and the FIS as they take the credit for “the best Games ever”
