In my opinion it was a tie vote in Singapore. We need an outcome.

The Olympic movement around the world has expressed its sympathy for the victims of September 11th in many ways since that tragic day. Showing the flag this respect is just one more way.

This is not reconsideration. This is finishing the work, since it was a tie.

My gut feeling is we should do this . . . and I like to win. I think (if softball were readmitted) it would be a win for the IOC too.

In Los Angeles (site of the 1984 Olympics), it worked very well.
