Conclusion Of The 1998 Olympics
IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch praised the 1998 Winter Olympics as the "best organized in the history of the Olympic Games". The Japanese people were great. The futuristic venues were very impressive. The next Winter Olympics in 2002 will be held in Salt Lake City, U.S.A. Maybe we'll see some new sports there like women's bobsled or women's ski jumping. I'll be looking forward to it!
