Reply #62: I don't think he was being racist

I didn't get that feeling from his comments. I think he was trying to say that skating and skiing are subjective activities that are not necessarily in the same league as cut and dry sports like Track and Field. Furthermore, Winter sports do not hold true to Greek tradition. Also, his other comment I think was as a sarcastic retort to the seemingly racist view that the (virtually all White) Winter Olympics feature "the world's greatest athletes."
