I think she forgot again

Got a copy of The Complete Book of the Winter Olympics 2010 Edition, it's a third of the size of the Summer Olympics editions and I think it uses a slightly better paper stock.

A choice bit:

After her Olympic victory, [Katarina] Witt received 35,000 love letters. Among her admirers was East German dictator Erich Honecker. He made sure that the Stasi, East Germany's domestic spy organization, kept a close watch on all aspects of Witt's life. Not only did they keep track of her lovers, they kept a log of the duration of her sexual encounters.

Also, in the section about snowboard cross, the caption under the picture of Lindsay Jacobellis says, "Jacobellis forgets to win."

Hee hee hee. Shame she didn't even make the finals this time.

books, sports, olympics
