Antonio Samaranch

Recommended Posts

He's at the Winter Olympics ceremony as I speak. He looks very old, confused & frail. Samaranch, who must be around the same age, doesn't. Ciampi certainly has shot up my DDP list all of a sudden.

The linked story just talks about fatigue and makes much of his freeloading - I mean; his dedicated involvement in the Olympic movement. Nowt in there other than a suggestion that his 87year ticker is struggling with his jet setting lifestyle. In other words, he could cut down and see out 2008 on this evidence.

Former International Olympic Committee president Juan Antonio Samaranch is in "very serious condition'' at a hospital in Barcelona. He is suffering from "acute coronary insufficiency", which doesn't sound too good.

"I know that I am very near the end of my time," Mr Samaranch said during Madrid's final presentation. :D

 

Now Dead!

And a unique hit on the DDP for "Creamation For The Nation"
