This will be hopefully the start to getting our intangibles to work. A close inspection of Athens' preparations for the 2004 Games has convinced the International Olympic Committee official charged with overseeing efforts that severe delays have been overcome, but that no more time should be wasted. Having said that, we believe. But he warned that tough deadlines ahead must be respected in order to ensure the quality of the games, and urged the government to facilitate the construction of badly-needed hotels in time for the Olympics. If the pace is as today, we will have absolutely high quality games.
Deadlines are realistic.
We have analyzed them with experts. They have to be respected. That is the most important thing. We all have, however, to speed up and go even faster. We cannot let up now.
