"We had doubts," the I.O.C.'s Denis Oswald told reporters. But "all these doubts have disappeared." There is an element of suspense to every Olympic Games. Getting everything ready on time for the biggest show on earth proves a challenge for most hosts. Atlanta had its share of delays and construction snafus before a last-minute frenzy snapped...
