Scales said he was disappointed with his team’s performance and that he hopes it can start to score some goals again. And even though his team gifted the Crimson a couple of goals, he gave credit to the triumphant Harvard squad...
...schlepped to Olympia, the sacred birthplace of the Games, to watch a Russian woman shot putter on steroids try to steal the event. (She was caught and tossed out.) But now the party's over, the carnival has left town, and we're left feeling less than triumphant. Some of it is just the inevitable morning-after blues. But there's more to it than that.

The shot-put event would be staged amid the ruins of ancient Olympia; the marathon course would retrace the doomed steps of Phidippides and end with a triumphant lap around Panathinaiko Stadium, site of the first modern Olympics in 1896. And those Games went swimmingly. There were 311 participating athletes (men only). Cost to the host...
